NEWS: 3B DJ LeMahieu was out of the lineup for the Yankees on July 21, and manager Aaron Boone was noncommittal when asked if LeMahieu’s absence would last more than a day.
IMPACT: Low
BHQ SPIN: LeMahieu told reporters that he is “100% healthy,” despite appearances to the contrary with his performance at the plate.

J.D. Davis could be another option against southpaws, though Davis has been used exclusively at first base and DH during his time with the Yankees.
