Another night, another poor showing at the plate for DJ LeMahieu. LeMahieu went 0-for-5 in a 9-5, 12-inning loss to Cleveland on Tuesday in The Bronx.
He’s in another rut, this one 2-for-19, as the Yankees still await the return of Anthony Rizzo from the fractured right forearm that’s kept him out since mid-June.
“I thought he looked really good out there swinging the bat today,’’ Boone said of the first baseman. “He feels really good. … The biggest thing for him is he can do everything now at full-steam ahead, and feels great doing it. The strength is there, it’s just again, just getting that full healing to where if he falls, gets himself in trouble, or something like that.”In the last scan, his arm showed signs of healing but wasn’t completely 100 percent.
Since Rizzo went down, the Yankees have gotten the second-worst production of any team in the majors from their first basemen., Gleyber Torres not hitting well for much of the season and Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the IL with a left elbow sprain, the Yankees haven’t gotten much offense out of their infield for a hefty chunk of the year.
