DJ LEMAHIEU NEWS

Average climbing LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a run and a walk in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Orioles.

Impact LeMahieu has cobbled together a six-game hitting streak, which has helped him lift his season-long batting average from .264 to .268. That mark still represents LeMahieu's lowest in any season since 2014 with the Rockies (.267 average), but a strong September could still help salvage what has been a disappointing campaign for the 33-year-old. He'll start at second base and stay atop the lineup for Monday's series opener with the Blue Jays.

Scores twice Monday LeMahieu went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 8-7 loss to the Twins.

Impact LeMahieu doubled to lead off the game and quickly scored after Anthony Rizzo doubled right after him. The 32-year-old LeMahieu would later notch an RBI base hit in the fifth and eventually come around to score for his second time of the night. LeMahieu has finished in the top three of the league in batting average in each of the past two seasons and has hit the ball remarkably well since coming over to the Yankees in 2019. He hasn't been quite as effective this year, slashing .265/.347/.367 with 32 extra-base hits, 52 RBI, 67 runs scored, four steals and 60:82 BB:K over 565 plate appearances.

Homers in win LeMahieu went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Braves.

Impact LeMahieu broke the 2-2 deadlock between the Yankees and the Braves on Tuesday night with a two-run shot off Charlie Morton in the fifth inning. Fantasy managers are hoping this ignites a charge into the bat of the Yankees' utilityman, as LeMahieu's power numbers have regressed sharply this season.

Homers, scores three times in win LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk, and three total runs scored in Friday's 10-2 win over Minnesota.

Impact LeMahieu was productive at getting on base Friday -- he reached multiple times for the 13th time in 19 games in August. The infielder's two-hit effort raised his slash line to .272/.353/.373 with eight homers, 49 RBI, 60 runs scored and four stolen bases through 527 plate appearances. He continues to hit leadoff most of the time, and the Yankees' recent resurgence on offense as a team should help the 33-year-old cross the plate a bit more in the final stretch of the season.

Hitting streak reaches seven games LeMahieu went 1-for-5 with a base hit, a walk and a run scored Sunday in the Yankees' 5-3 win over the White Sox.

Impact LeMahieu's base knock in the second inning extended his hitting streak to seven games, with the 33-year-old slashing .367/.457/.533 over that stretch. In what's largely been a disappointing season for LeMahieu, he's beginning to hit his stride at the dish while the Yankees have pushed themselves into the thick of the wild-card race. With Sunday's win, New York sits only 2.5 games behind Boston for the second wild-card spot.

Drops from leadoff spot LeMahieu is starting at second base and batting fifth Monday at Kansas City.

Impact LeMahieu has batted leadoff in all but one start this season, in which he batted second, so it's a significant drop in the order from manager Aaron Boone. The 33-year-old has a poor .702 OPS for the season and has struggled even more since the All-Star break with a .250/.307/.325 slash line. Brett Gardner was inserted into the leadoff spot for the Yankees, which is hardly a long-term solution atop the order, so it remains to be seen whether this is a lineup change that sticks.
