DJ LeMahieu Eyes Comeback After Injury-Plagued Seasons

The 36-year-old Yankees infielder is competing for the third base role, aiming to regain his form after years of setbacks.

DJ LeMahieu has struggled with injuries since 2020, including a fractured foot, hip impingement, and toe ligament damage, which have drastically impacted his performance.
The two-time batting champion took a two-month break from hitting this offseason, the longest of his career, to allow his body to heal and reset.
LeMahieu enters Yankees spring training as the frontrunner for the third base position, competing with younger players like Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza.
Despite batting a career-low .204 in 2024, LeMahieu remains motivated to contribute to the team and fulfill the expectations of his six-year, $90 million contract.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone and GM Brian Cashman are cautiously optimistic about LeMahieu's health and potential role, emphasizing that his performance will determine his playing time.
