DJ LeMahieu

Yankees INF DJ LeMahieu was battling a core injury this season, and has since undergone surgery to repair the issue. It's an estimated eight-week recovery and he will be ready for Spring Training.

The injury sheds some light on what was a disappointing season for LeMahieu where he slashed a line of .268/.349/.362 after finishing third in MVP voting in 2020. Hopefully this surgery gets DJ back to 100% health for 2022 and he can get back to being the hitter he was in years prior.

The Yankees have placed infielder DJ LeMahieu (sports hernia) on the 10-day injured list, according to manager Aaron Boone.

"He's just too compromised right now," explained Boone when discussing LeMahieu's status on Sunday. He hasn't played since September 30th and will now miss a crucial stretch that includes a decisive Game 162, as well as a potential tiebreaker, Wild Card game, or ALDS. He finishes the regular season with a .268/.349/.362 slash line in addition to 10 homers, 57 RBI, 73 walks, and 94 strikeouts.
