With Anthony Rizzo expected to return, it figures to become even harder for the slumping DJ LeMahieu to see playing time.
And with Anthony Rizzo expected to return to the Yankees lineup Sunday, and Jazz Chisolm Jr. seemingly entrenched at third base, it figures to become even harder for the slumping LeMahieu, who doesn’t have an extra-base hit since Aug. 8 — a span of 52 plate appearances.
“I’m all good,’’ LeMahieu said. “I haven’t played great. I want to help the team as much as I can, whatever way I can.”With two years and $30 million remaining on his deal after this season, the Yankees will have to ask themselves some difficult questions about the 36-year-old, whose offense has fallen off a cliff.
Rice can be sent back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre whenever Rizzo returns, but LeMahieu has also lost time at third base and Jon Berti could return from a calf strain at some point in the next week or so.He added he continues to make changes at the plate, to no avail.
