Overview

  • DJ LeMahieu will be activated off the injured list on Tuesday and make his 2025 season debut on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners.
  • LeMahieu has been sidelined since spring training due to a left calf strain and a subsequent hip issue, which required a cortisone shot during his rehab assignment.
  • With Jazz Chisholm Jr. out for several weeks due to an oblique strain, LeMahieu is expected to primarily play second base upon his return.
  • The Yankees must clear a roster spot for LeMahieu, with Jorbit Vivas, Oswald Peraza, or Pablo Reyes likely to be affected by the move.
  • LeMahieu, in the fifth year of his six-year, $90 million contract, faces heightened expectations to contribute after recent injury-plagued and underperforming seasons.
