Yankees' DJ LeMahieu Nears Rehab Assignment Start

DJ LeMahieu, the New York Yankees infielder, has rejoined the team in Detroit as he nears a return from a calf strain sustained in spring training. LeMahieu, who resides in Birmingham, Michigan, will work out with the Yankees at Comerica Park before beginning a rehab assignment expected to start on Friday. He is anticipated to need the full 20-day rehab period due to missing most of spring training. Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza have been filling in at third base during his absence and have performed well. The Yankees will need to decide on their roster once LeMahieu is fit to play, with potential implications for players like Pablo Reyes. LeMahieu's past contributions and contract considerations highlight the team's cautious approach to his return.
