NEW YORK -- On Tuesday, the New York Yankees were hopeful that DJ LeMahieu could make his season debut as early as next week. By Wednesday, those tentative plans were dashed.
LeMahieu will be shut down for at least a week, the team said, after being removed from the first game of his rehab assignment Tuesday. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said LeMahieu underwent testing Wednesday and was diagnosed with residual edema, or recurring swelling, in his right foot, which he fractured over a month ago. He'll be re-evaluated in seven days. His timeline to play in major league games is unclear.
