NEW YORK -- Hitting .160 over the last five weeks, DJ LeMahieu has been willing to look at his mechanics.
"I haven't really hit this bad in a while, I don't know if ever, and it's coming at a bad time for our team," LeMahieu said Friday before the New York Yankees' series opener against Texas. "So it's just frustrating."
LeMahieu returned to the lineup Thursday after two games off, and the two-time batting champion went 0 for 4 with a pair of strikeouts against Seattle. He threw his helmet down stairs and slammed his bat into the rack after his strikeout in the third.
