Yankees delay DJ LeMahieu's minor league rehab assignment because foot has not fully healed
NEW YORK (AP) — The Yankees delayed the start of DJ LeMahieu’s minor league injury rehabilitation assignment after an MRI showed the fracture in his right foot has not fully healed.
The 35-year-old, a two-time batting champion, has been sidelined since fouling a ball off the foot during a spring training game on March 16. He was to have started the rehab assignment Friday but remained in New York. The earliest he will report to a minor league team is Tuesday.
“He’s doing really well and I know he feels ready to go, but the foot specialist has weighed in,” manager Aaron Boone said before the Yankees’ series opener against Tampa Bay. “We want to make sure this thing’s 100%. He’s close to that now. We’re just being conservative with this thing.
LeMahieu continued fielding ground balls and taking batting practice.
“I feel ready to go,” LeMahieu said. “I’m ready to get out there and get in some games. It shouldn’t be too much longer.”
