Yankees Weigh Options at Third Base After DJ LeMahieu Injury

Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza emerge as key candidates to fill the role as LeMahieu’s return timeline remains uncertain.

DJ LeMahieu, the Yankees' expected starting third baseman, suffered a left calf injury during spring training, leaving his return timeline unclear.
Oswaldo Cabrera, a versatile utility player, is seen as a leading candidate for the position, with manager Aaron Boone emphasizing his potential against right-handed pitching.
Oswald Peraza, who has shown defensive skill and offensive promise in spring training, is also in contention but must prove consistency to secure a roster spot.
Cabrera has struggled with consistent hitting in past seasons but hopes increased playing time will improve his performance at the plate.
The Yankees are exploring multiple options for third base, with Cabrera, Peraza, and others competing for the role as spring training progresses.
