Earlier today, the Yankees placed infielder DJ LeMahieu on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left thumb. As a corresponding move, the team called up third baseman Miguel Andújar from the alternate site at Scranton.
LeMahieu left yesterday’s game against the Red Sox after taking a big swing in the fourth inning. His front hand came off the bat on the backswing, and violently jerked backwards. He appeared to be in a lot of pain, as manager Aaron Boone had to rush out to attend to him.
