    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Activated Tuesday

    LeMahieu (calf/hip) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in Seattle.

    LeMahieu will switch spots with Oswaldo Cabrera (fractured ankle), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. LeMahieu should serve as the Yankees' primary third baseman in the short term, but at 36 and coming off three straight years of declining production, he may not be able to hold the job indefinitely. He hit .204 with a .269 OBP, two home runs and zero steals in 228 plate appearances last year, although he did log a 1.093 OPS on his rehab assignment, thanks in part to a .500 BABIP.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Diagnosed with fractured ankle

    The Yankees placed Cabrera on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left ankle fracture.

    The diagnosis doesn't come as a surprise after Cabrera had to be taken off the field in an ambulance in Monday's game versus the Mariners. It's not clear at this point how long Cabrera might be sidelined, but certainly the absence will be a lengthy one. DJ LeMahieu (calf/hip) is taking Cabrera's spot on the roster and could receive the bulk of the reps at third base in Cabrera's spot, as well.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Goes down with leg injury

    Cabrera left Monday's game against the Mariners due to a left leg injury, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

    Cabrera was injured on a play at the plate in the top of the ninth inning as he attempted an awkward slide. He was eventually taken off the field in an ambulance after being attended to by the team's training staff. The Yankees later reported that Cabrera was taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation, per Kuty.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Swipes three bags

    Ramirez went 1-for-2 with two runs scored, three stolen bases and two walks in Monday's win over Milwaukee.

    Ramirez singled, stole two bags and scored in the fourth inning. He later walked and scored again after swiping his third base of the night. It was his first multi-steal game of the year and first time stealing three in one contest since 2021. Ramirez has gone 15-for-40 (.375) over his last 11 games, raising his slash line to .289/.356/.472 with 12 steals through 163 plate appearances.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Expected to be activated Tuesday

    LeMahieu (calf/hip) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

    LeMahieu is set to join the Yankees after missing the entirety of the 2025 season to this point while recovering from a left calf strain and a right hip issue. The 36-year-old had seen most of his starts at third base and first base over the previous two seasons, but he's expected to step into a regular role at second base initially while Jazz Chisholm (oblique) is on the shelf. Boone suggested that LeMahieu will likely be limited to a bench role Tuesday in Seattle, but LeMahieu is expected to start at the keystone in Wednesday's series finale with the Mariners. LeMahieu struggled to a career-low .204 average while adding two home runs, 26 RBI and 19 runs over 201 at-bats in 67 games with New York in 2024.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Not activated from IL yet

    LeMahieu (calf) was not activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game in Seattle, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

    LeMahieu has joined the Yankees in Seattle, but the team hasn't put him on the active roster just yet. That could come as soon as Tuesday. LeMahieu has been shelved all season with a calf strain and more recently a hip issue.

  • Jace Jung 2B | DET

    Tigers' Jace Jung: Out of Tigers lineup

    Jung is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Red Sox.

    Right-hander Tanner Houck is on the bump for the Red Sox, but the left-handed-hitting Jung will grab a seat after starting each of the last three games against righties. Zach McKinstry will pick up a start at third base and bat sixth for the Tigers in the series opener.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Joining team in Seattle

    LeMahieu (calf) is slated to join the Yankees for the start of their series Monday in Seattle, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

    The team has not confirmed that LeMahieu will be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of the series opener, but it seems likely that he will be on the active roster. LeMahieu has been out all season with a calf strain and more recently a hip issue, but he's healthy now. The 36-year-old has gone 12-for-27 with one home run and a 4:3 K:BB over nine rehab games and could be the Yankees' primary second baseman while Jazz Chisholm (oblique) is sidelined.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Three hits against M's

    Clement went 3-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Mariners.

    The 29-year-old utility player has started four straight games at second base since Andres Gimenez (quadriceps) landed on the IL, and Clement has gone an impressive 8-for-16 during that span with a steal, two RBI and three runs. All eight hits have been singles however, and he's still looking for his first homer of 2025 after launching 12 in 139 games last season. With Addison Barger also heating up while getting regular run at third base and offering a lot more upside in an everyday role, Clement could have a hard time finding consistent at-bats once Gimenez returns.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Fills in at shortstop

    Duran started at shortstop and went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Tigers.

    Duran filled in for Corey Seager, who aggravated a hamstring injury Saturday. Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday that Seager is operating at about 85 percent, per MLB.com. Seager is set to undergo more further evaluation Monday. Should that lead to another stint on the injured list, Duran would be in line for more opportunities.
