LeMahieu Scratched From Yankees Lineup After Being Drilled in Face
Yankees Infielder Suffers Facial Injury in Batting Practice
New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu was scratched from the lineup on Friday after being hit in the face with a fastball during batting practice. The injury occurred during an optional batting practice session at Yankee Stadium.
LeMahieu was taken to a local hospital for examination and X-rays. The results showed no structural damage, but LeMahieu is experiencing swelling and bruising.
Yankees Struggling Without LeMahieu
The Yankees have been struggling in LeMahieu's absence. The team has lost four of its last five games, and is now 10-15 on the season.
LeMahieu is a key part of the Yankees offense. He is a contact hitter who gets on base at a high clip, and he also provides power. In 2023, LeMahieu batted .316 with 15 home runs and 89 RBIs.
Yankees Hopeful for LeMahieu's Return
The Yankees are hopeful that LeMahieu will be able to return to the lineup soon. However, the team is taking a cautious approach with his injury.
If LeMahieu is able to return soon, it will be a big boost for the Yankees. The team is currently in last place in the AL East, and needs to start winning games to get back into contention.
