LeMahieu has been able to go through pregame workouts the past two days. After he was only available in an emergency on Friday, LeMahieu was available on Saturday and Boone said he would have used him had the game gotten deeper.The Yankees are hopeful DJ LeMahieu will be able to avoid the injured list.“We’ll see about that,” he said. “But I would expect him to be available.”
He is scheduled to advance to facing live hitters in September or October before heading into the offseason, which should have him ready for spring training.
