  • Rehab stint delayed
    LeMahieu (foot) won't begin his rehab assignment at Double-A Somerset as scheduled Friday after an MRI showed less healing than was hoped for, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

    Advice: The veteran infielder said he's "ready to go" but has yet to be cleared for game action. LeMahieu will take batting practice and go through infield drills over the next few days. Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday is now the target date for LeMahieu to begin the rehab assignment, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

  • DJ LeMahieu (foot) won’t start rehab assignment
    DJ LeMahieu said team doctors don’t feel comfortable having him start a rehab assignment this week following an MRI on Thursday.

    Advice: Well this sounds a bit ominous. The 35-year-old was slated to begin a rehab assignment this week, but now will stay sidelined until the team feels he’s ready for live action. Yankees manager Aaron Boone added that the team is targeting next Tuesday as a date for him to begin his rehab assignment. LeMahieu started the season on the injured list with a fractured right foot and it looks like he’ll need more time before he’s put on the active roster. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
