NEW YORK -- Back in March, the New York Yankees were resolute that DJ LeMahieu would bat leadoff in front of Juan Soto and Aaron Judge. They were confident that the two-time batting champion, would rebound from three subpar, injury-plagued seasons.
But four months later, after battling a major foot injury, and almost daily struggles at the plate, LeMahieu is far from the table-setter the Yankees envisioned. He was on the bench Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays, with Oswaldo Cabrera getting the start at third base.
