Yankees' DJ LeMahieu Expected to Miss Weeks Due to Calf Injury

DJ LeMahieu of the New York Yankees is facing a setback with a calf injury diagnosed as a Grade 1 or 2 strain, which is expected to sideline him for at least a couple of weeks. This injury occurred during his second at-bat of spring training, further complicating the Yankees' plans for the third base position as LeMahieu was vying for the starting job against Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza. LeMahieu's recent history of injuries has affected his performance, contributing to his decline over the past few seasons. With both LeMahieu and Giancarlo Stanton out, the Yankees may be forced to explore trades or free-agent signings to bolster their roster before Opening Day. The team is now left without a clear starter at third base, raising questions about their offensive strategy moving forward. LeMahieu's contract still has two years and $30 million remaining, adding another layer of complexity to his future with the team.
