DJ LeMahieu is expected to return from injury and start at second base for the Yankees against the Mariners, filling a gap left by Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s injury. Despite struggling with lower-body injuries in recent seasons, manager Aaron Boone expresses optimism about LeMahieu's ability to contribute if he can maintain his health. The Yankees have not yet considered cutting him loose from his lucrative contract, signifying their investment in his potential impact during this season. Boone envisions various possibilities for LeMahieuâs role moving forward, from part-time to everyday play.
The biggest thing is health. DJ LeMahieu, [he could] fall out of bed and hit. The biggest thing that's tripped him up...has been nagging injuries.
Hopefully, he can come and be a real contributor for us. What that role is - does it turn into something more everyday, part-time or platoon - I don't know.
