Opens September with long ball LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-2 victory against Houston.

Impact LeMahieu opened the new month in good form, swatting Justin Verlander's second pitch of the game over the right-field fence for a leadoff homer. The long ball continued LeMahieu's recent power surge -- he's gone deep six times over his past 10 contests after slugging just eight homers over his initial 104 games of the campaign. The veteran is now up to 14 home runs on the year, the most since he hit a career-high 26 long balls in his first season as a Yankee in 2019.

Continues power surge LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a 6-2 victory over the Tigers on Wednesday.

Impact LeMahieu belted a 411-foot solo shot in the second inning to give New York a 3-0 lead. It was the continuation of a surprising recent uptick in power by the veteran infielder, who has gone deep five times (all solo shots) over his past eight contests. Prior to the surge, LeMahieu had hit just eight homers over his initial 104 games this season.

Goes deep again in loss LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

Impact LeMahieu was on the latter end of back-to-back jacks for the Yankees off Zack Littell in the third inning.

For the year, LeMahieu is slashing a mediocre .247/.326/.397 with 12 homers, 34 RBI, 42 runs and a 43:97 BB:K in 436 plate appearances.

Snaps homer drought in victory LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday in a 9-1 win over Washington.

Impact Aaron Judge smashed three homers in the game to lead New York's offense, but LeMahieu made a contribution as well with his seventh-inning solo shot. The long ball snapped a streak of 20 games without a homer for LeMahieu, and it was just his second home run over his past 46 contests. Power has never been the biggest part of the veteran's game, and it's clear that the 26 long balls he hit in 2019 in his first season as a Yankee were an aberration. Since that campaign, LeMahieu has gone deep a modest 41 times over 429 games.

Included in Monday's lineup LeMahieu (calf) is in the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

Impact LeMahieu has not appeared in a game since being scratched from last Wednesday's lineup with a tight calf, but he is ready to return to the field.

Impact LeMahieu is slashing .364/.440/.455 since the beginning of August, but his injury will keep him out for at least Wednesday's game. There's no word yet on how severe LeMahieu's injury is, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day until the Yankees provide more information. In the meantime, Isiah Kiner-Falefa will slide over to third base and Oswaldo Cabrera will enter the lineup to man shortstop.
