DJ LeMahieu progresses Monday from calf injury

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that DJ LeMahieu has resumed hitting and is advancing after a left calf strain from over two weeks ago, per team updates.

Fantasy Impact

LeMahieu, sidelined over two weeks by a calf strain, started hitting again Monday, but his game-ready timeline remains unclear, per Boone. Oswaldo Cabrera steps in at third for the Yankees’ opener. Fantasy managers should stash LeMahieu in deeper leagues, as his veteran bat could reclaim a key role once he’s fully back in action.
