DJ LEMAHIEU NEWS

Goes yard twice in win LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rays.

Impact He gave the Yankees an early 2-0 lead by taking Trevor Richards deep in the first and third innings. LeMahieu has hit safely in five straight games since coming off the injured list, boosting his slash line on the year to a stunning .402/.444/.587 with four homers, 10 RBI and 19 runs through 24 games. If he avoids another IL stint in September and can stay hot, he could take a run at baseball's first .400 campaign since Ted Williams in 1941 -- although the achievement would obviously come with a giant asterisk given the nature of the 2020 season.

Getting second opinion on injury Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that LeMahieu will meet with a hand specialist Monday to receive a second opinion on his sprained left thumb, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network re...

Impact Based on what the specialist has to say about the injury, LeMahieu will decide whether or not to undergo surgery on the thumb. If a procedure is deemed necessary, LeMahieu's absence could stretch into mid-September or longer, making him a drop candidate in most redraft leagues. Until the Yankees are able to provide a clearer timeline for LeMahieu's potential return, fantasy managers are probably best suited stashing him on their bench or in an IL spot.

Yankees' LeMahieu on injured list with sprained left thumb

American League batting leader DJ LeMahieu was placed on the 10-day injured list by the New York Yankees because of a sprained left thumb, joining Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton...

Moves to IL The Yankees placed LeMahieu (thumb) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Manager Aaron Boone suggested after Saturday's 11-5 win over the Red Sox that the sprained left thumb LeMahieu picked up during the game could be an IL situation, so it's no real surprise that the Yankees deactivated him a day later. Miguel Andujar was recalled from the Yankees' alternate site in a corresponding move, and he could end up settling into a near-everyday role at third base if the Yankees elect to move Gleyber Torres or Gio Urshela over to LeMahieu's usual post at the keystone. In any case, LeMahieu becomes the third significant Yankees regular to head to the IL in the past week, with designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) and Aaron Judge (calf) getting shut down before him.

Could head to injured list Manager Aaron Boone indicated Saturday that LeMahieu's sprained thumb could send him to the injured list, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact LeMahieu underwent an X-ray after leaving Saturday's game against the the Red Sox which came back negative. While that's encouraging, he's yet to receive the results of his CT scan and MRI, and Boone didn't seem particularly confident that LeMahieu's injury was a minor one. The second baseman dealt with a similar injury in 2018 and wound up missing just over two weeks.
