New York Yankees third baseman DJ LeMahieu has a broken right foot and will be sidelined longer than originally anticipated.
The 35-year-old leadoff hitter has been out since fouling a ball off his foot during a spring training game on March 16 and opened the season on the 10-day injured list. Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that a non-displaced fracture was revealed during an MRI on Friday. The break had not been detected previously because of swelling. 'Doesn't really change much,' Boone said. 'It's kind of tolerance as he builds up.
The manager said LeMahieu had been feeling better in recent days and hit in the cage on Friday. LeMahieu struggled following a broken sesamoid bone in his right big toe that led to ligament damage in his second toe in 2022. He hit .220 in the first half last year but .273 in the second. 'It's added concern, which is why we're not pushing it,' Boone said of the prior injury. 'It's not something that he's going to play through. He's going to be 100 percent.
