Yankees’ infielder DJ LeMahieu has been out with a sprained left thumb for the last week. Aaron Boone has said that he is progressing very well and should be back in the coming weeks. He’s second in the league in batting average and is a massive part of the Yankees’ success this year. But, there might be a way to make him even more useful.
After last year’s all-star break, Aaron Boone led LeMahieu off in the Yankees’ lineup. Since then, he has been fantastic and has made that his permanent spot. I think he is one of the better leadoff hitters in the league, but I think he could be more useful at another spot.
