The Yankees got a bit healthier on Saturday, when DJ LeMahieu returned to the lineup for the first time since last Sunday.
LeMahieu, who had been out with left wrist discomfort, received a cortisone shot that was initially ineffective. He showed significant improvement on Thursday, however, and felt better on Friday, leading to him hitting in the leadoff spot Saturday.Yankees’ 3-1 loss to the Rays
Manager Aaron Boone said a stint on the injured list had been very much in play, but now the Yankees aren’t concerned LeMahieu might make the injury worse by playing.DJ LeMahieu claps after hitting a first-inning double during the Yankees’ 3-1 loss to the Rays.LeMahieu started at third base, where Marwin Gonzalez had been filling in, since Josh Donaldson remains unavailable. Donaldson is on the 10-day IL with right shoulder inflammation.
Boone called Hicks’ absence “just a decision. He’s ready to go and will probably be in there [Sunday].” Hicks pinch-hit for Jose Trevino with one on and two out in the eighth inning Saturday and struck out against right-hander Jason Adam.Hicks entered the day in a 7-for-47 slump with a double, five walks and a dozen strikeouts, for an OPS of .416.
