DJ LeMahieu (hip) likely to play 2B when activated

Fantasy Impact:
The Yankees have a more pressing need at second base with Jazz Chisholm (oblique) expected to be sidelined until June. LeMahieu has played six rehab games with Double-A Somerset, all at second base, and is slashing .438/.500/.688 across 18 plate appearances. He's nearing a return, with Boone noting it's possible LeMahieu rejoins the team during their upcoming West Coast trip, which runs from May 6 to May 14. His return would likely cut into Jorbit Vivas' playing time, as Vivas has been handling most of the second base duties in Chisholm's absence.
