DJ LeMahieu has made significant strides in his recovery, completing his fourth rehab game while showcasing impressive performance at the plate, going 6-for-10 this past week. The Yankees have been eagerly anticipating his return as they deal with a third base dilemma. Manager Aaron Boone has indicated plans for LeMahieu to start taking reps at third base next week, hinting at a swift reintegration into the lineup.

Having garnered accolades as a two-time batting title holder, LeMahieu’s presence could provide the boost the Yankees need as he nears his 37th birthday. Despite recent injury setbacks leading to a dip in performance, the organization remains hopeful that a healthy LeMahieu can reclaim his form and contribute effectively to the team’s infield depth.
