The number of Yankees on the injured list continues to grow, except this time the latest addition felt inevitable. The Yankees officially announced that they were placing DJ LeMahieu on the 10-day IL with the toe injury that has plagued their infielder for at least a month.
The placement is retroactive to September 5th, so the earliest he could return would be the Yankees’ series opener at Milwaukee September 16th. In a corresponding move, New York recalled Miguel Andújar from Triple-A while also activating Nestor Cortes for tonight’s game; Deivi García’s brief promotion lasted just one day.
