BALTIMORE — DJ LeMahieu’s rehab project is on pause after getting a cortisone shot on a physique half completely different than the one which already had him sidelined.
The veteran infielder acquired an injection in his hip on Tuesday, supervisor Aaron Boone stated, “kind of preemptively” to get forward of one thing LeMahieu felt could be approaching and has handled prior to now.
LeMahieu had gone 6-for-10 in 4 video games with Double-A Somerset final week and was set to have his project transferred to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday to extend his workload.
Now, the Yankees are hoping he may get again in video games by Thursday or Friday, Boone stated, although that’s no assure for a 36-year-old whose profession has been derailed in recent times by numerous lower-body accidents.
“My sense is it was pretty minor,” Boone stated. “DJ’s all the time been so robust and his manner is simply to form of energy by means of issues and grind by means of issues. I believe it’s him saying that is one thing that’s labored for him prior to now when he’s had some points.
“I think he just wants to make sure he gives himself the best runway to be successful.”
