DJ LeMahieu back in Yankees' lineup Saturday

DJ LeMahieu is back in the Yankees’ lineup Saturday afternoon in Tampa, which manager Aaron Boone called “a really good turn of events” given where LeMahieu was Thursday.

“About 36 hours ago, we were a little worried he might need an IL stint, but he was able to hit two nights ago and had a normal day yesterday,” Boone said. “So yeah, a really good turn of events, and we’re glad to get him back in there.”


Marwin Gonzalez had started the five games so far this week at third base and the Yankees signed Matt Carpenter to add some infield and DH depth on Thursday, but it seems as if DJLM is good to go and will be from at least this wrist inflammation.

“I think everyone feels good about this, especially because the MRI was clean and the hand specialist here said as long as he feels fine, he should be good to go,” Boone said. “So hopefully that’s the case.”

LeMahieu was back at third and leading off Saturday. He is hitting .250 with three home runs and 17 RBI in 39 games so far this season.
