After suffering a left calf strain on his second spring training at-bat, LeMahieu will be activated from the injured list on Tuesday and likely make his season debut at second base on Wednesday when the Yankees wrap up a series in Seattle with a day game.

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — There has not been a setback, but DJ LeMahieu’s return has been slightly delayed. The rehabbing infielder has not been able to play consecutive games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre because of weather complications.

Things could be trending up for the New York Yankees as Aaron Boone revealed encouraging news about DJ LeMahieu ahead of a crucial series this week.

The New York Yankees have lost Oswaldo Cabrera to an ankle injury. They have gotten DJ LeMahieu back, but he will not be slotting in at third base to replace Cabrera.

DJ LeMahieu's latest chance at a resurgence comes at a time when the Yankees need infielders to step up amid injuries to Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Oswaldo Cabrera.

The New York Yankees have dealt with several key injuries this spring, particularly to veteran players. One of them, DJ LeMahieu, is closing in on a return. The 36-year-old has missed the entire season with a calf injury but is expected to join the team for their upcoming series in Seattle beginning Monday.
