Yankees Face Uncertainty After DJ LeMahieu Suffers Calf Injury in Spring Training

The veteran third baseman's latest setback raises concerns about his durability and prompts speculation about potential roster adjustments.

DJ LeMahieu injured his left calf during his second at-bat in the Yankees' spring training game against the Astros on Saturday.
Manager Aaron Boone described the injury as 'a little concerning,' noting LeMahieu's recent history of recurring injuries and limited playing time.
LeMahieu, 36, played only 67 games last season due to a series of injuries, including a fractured foot and a hip issue, and posted career-low offensive stats.
The injury could lead to increased reliance on utility players like Oswaldo Cabrera or Oswald Peraza to fill the third base position in the short term.
Speculation has emerged about whether the Yankees might revisit trade options, including potentially pursuing All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado, though no moves have been confirmed.
