The New York Yankees' struggles continue as both Aaron Judge and DJ LeMahieu face challenges. In a recent game against the New York Mets, the Yankees' tactics were undermined by the Mets' strategy of intentionally walking Judge, exploiting the weaker middle lineup. Meanwhile, DJ LeMahieu has been benched due to a prolonged slump, hitting just .177 this season, and manager Aaron Boone remains uncertain about his return to the lineup. LeMahieu's performance has significantly declined since injuries in previous seasons, and he is currently hitless in his last 17 at-bats. Boone hinted that LeMahieu's role could change with potential roster moves before the trade deadline. Despite these issues, Boone believes in giving LeMahieu a chance to regain his form.
