While the team hasn&rsquo;t officially confirmed his activation from the 10-day injured list, all signs point to him returning to the active roster soon.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Not yet clear if he&rsquo;ll be in uniform tonight but DJ LeMahieu is en route to Seattle, scheduled to land later today<\/p>&mdash; Erik Boland (@eboland11) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eboland11\/status\/1921981634909278457?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 12, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>The 36-year-old infielder wrapped up a productive nine-game rehab stint in the minors, going 12-for-27 at the plate with a home run, four walks, and just three strikeouts. Despite needing a cortisone shot mid-rehab for soreness in the same right hip that cut short his 2024 campaign, LeMahieu is reportedly healthy and ready to contribute.<\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/marcus-stroman-injury-update-latest-setback-means-yankees-likely-off-the-hook-for-2026-option\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Marcus Stroman Injury Update: Latest Setback Means Yankees Likely Off the Hook for 2026 Option<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>It&rsquo;s also worth noting that LeMahieu&rsquo;s bat was virtually nonexistent in 2024. Last season marked the steepest dip yet in what&rsquo;s become a clear downward trend. In 228 plate appearances, he managed just 41 hits, with only two home runs, a .204 batting average, and a paltry .527 OPS. It was, by every measure, the worst offensive season of his career&mdash;and it wasn&rsquo;t particularly close.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Will the Yankees Lineup Look With DJ LeMahieu?<\/h2><p>With Jazz Chisholm Jr. (oblique) expected to miss at least another month, LeMahieu could slot in as the Yankees&rsquo; everyday second baseman. Alternatively, manager Aaron Boone might shift him over to third base, where Oswaldo Cabrera has been filling in, depending on the rest of the lineup configuration. The Yankees realistically only have first base and shortstop fixed in the infield, so second base and third base could be up for grabs based solely on who offers the best bat on that given day.<\/p><p>If LeMahieu does get the call, here&rsquo;s a look at what the Yankees&rsquo; batting order could resemble:<\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Trent Grisham &ndash; CF<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aaron Judge &ndash; RF<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ben Rice &ndash; DH<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paul Goldschmidt &ndash; 1B<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cody Bellinger &ndash; LF<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anthony Volpe &ndash; SS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Austin Wells &ndash; C<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DJ LeMahieu &ndash; 2B<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oswaldo Cabrera &ndash; 3B<\/li>\n<\/ol><p>This lineup notably excludes Jasson Dominguez, but Boone has been rotating four outfielders and using Judge at DH occasionally, so any given day could look different.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">First career 2-homer game &#9989;<br>First career 3-homer game &#9989;<br><br>Jasson Dom&iacute;nguez is out of this world! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ssyNNOiTto\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/ssyNNOiTto<\/a><\/p>&mdash; MLB (@MLB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLB\/status\/1921056956145426545?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 10, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>LeMahieu&rsquo;s return would have a ripple effect on the Yankees&rsquo; bench.
