Homers in four-hit game LeMahieu went 4-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact LeMahieu slammed a solo home run off Nathan Eovaldi in the eighth inning to get the Yankees on the board. In addition, he added three singles in the game and accounted for both of New York's RBI. The 32-year-old is riding a nine-game hitting streak and he has reached base safely in his last 14 games. Despite the recent success, he is slashing .271/.345/.377, his lowest line since 2014. However, he still leads the Yankees with 79 hits.

Impact The infielder came up to the plate with the Yankees trailing 6-3 in the eighth inning and cut the lead to one run with a two-run blast to right field. The long ball was his sixth of the season, and half have come in his past nine games. LeMahieu is still slashing a disappointing .263/.338/.365 overall, but he has been heating up of late, batting .326 with 10 RBI and only two strikeouts over 43 at-bats since June 10.

Emerging from season-long slump LeMahieu went 2-for-4 in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia for his fourth multi-hit game over his past five contests.

Impact One of the most surprising early season developments for the Yankees has been LeMahieu's struggles at the plate. Through his first 56 contests, he was batting a meager .253 after posting a career-best and AL-leading .364 average in 2020. The veteran has begun to turn things around of late, however, raising his average eight points since June 8 and collecting exactly two hits in four of his five games during that span. LeMahieu's decline this season has some substance behind it -- his 16.7 percent strikeout rate is on pace for his worst mark since 2015, and his .082 ISO pales in comparison to the .226 mark he posted last season -- but there is still plenty of time for him to turn things around. Fantasy managers who used substantial draft capital to add LeMahieu to their 2021 squad may be best served to hope his recent offensive surge builds rather than to cast him off after his slow start.
