LeMahieu’s Rehab Setback: Soreness Persists After One At-Bat

DJ LeMahieu’s rehab assignment has hit a snag as soreness in his right foot continues to linger. The veteran infielder exited his first game with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday after just one at-bat and is still experiencing discomfort. Despite the setback, Yankees manager Aaron Boone is not overly concerned yet but acknowledges that the latest development is a bit of a surprise. LeMahieu has been out since March 16 when he fouled a ball off his foot, and his return to the lineup would provide a much-needed boost to the Yankees’ struggling infield and overall offensive production.

LeMahieu’s Rehab Debut Cut Short by Foot Soreness

New York Yankees veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu experienced a setback in his rehab assignment on Tuesday, as he was removed from Double-A Somerset’s game due to right foot soreness after his first at-bat. The 35-year-old, who hadn’t played since sustaining a non-displaced fracture on March 16, will return to New York for re-examination by the team doctor. The development is concerning as it raises questions about LeMahieu’s initial rehab timeline, which projected him to potentially rejoin the Yankees next week in Baltimore.
