Yankees' DJ LeMahieu About Week Away From Live At-Bats

Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced that infielder DJ LeMahieu is approximately a week away from taking live at-bats as he recovers from a left calf strain sustained in early March. Boone emphasized that LeMahieu will need a significant ramp-up period akin to a full spring training before returning to the field, effectively ruling him out for the month of April. This cautious approach reflects the team's priority on ensuring a complete recovery to avoid further setbacks. Meanwhile, Oswaldo Cabrera has been filling in as the primary third baseman during LeMahieu's absence. LeMahieu's recent performance has been concerning, as he struggled offensively last season, and it remains uncertain how he will reintegrate into the lineup. The Yankees are hopeful he can regain his form but will carefully monitor his progress before any return to game action.
