DJ LeMahieu said Sunday before the Yankees’ 1:05 p.m. game at the Atlanta Braves that his left calf injury is “not anything major, but it’s probably going to be a little bit” before he resumes baseball activities, according to NorthJersey.com’s Pete Caldera.
“I’m not off to the hottest start with that,” LeMahieu said of proving that he is healthy after his injury-riddled 2024 season, via NJ.com’s Randy Miller.
LeMahieu, 36, made his spring training debut in Saturday’s 9-3 win over the Houston Astros. Batting sixth and starting at designated hitter, he posted an 0-for-2 afternoon with a second-inning strikeout swinging and fourth-inning fly out to second base before being replaced by pinch-hitter Omar Martinez in the seventh.
“I definitely feel very confident in myself,” LeMahieu said, via the New York Post’s Dan Martin. “That hasn’t wavered at all. But at the same time, I keep getting blows. It’s discouraging, for sure. I know I’ve got something to give this team if I can stay healthy.”
LeMahieu, who currently has no timetable for a return, enters his seventh season with the Yankees. In 67 games last yer, he had a career-low .204 batting average, two home runs and 26 RBI.
