Yankees' DJ LeMahieu dealing with 'significant' bone bruise
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone described DJ LeMahieu's foot injury as a "pretty significant" bone bruise.
What It Means:
LeMahieu fouled a ball off of his own foot, leading to what Boone has now described as a "pretty significant" bone bruise. The veteran infielder was set to bat leadoff for the Yankees this season, but now joins a growing list of starters who could be sidelined for Opening Day.
LeMahieu was initially projected as numberFire's 23rd-ranked second baseman for fantasy for the upcoming season and was projected for 8 homers, 60 runs, 48 RBI, 4 stolen bases and a .248 average across 527 plate appearances. His injury could impact those numbers though with Opening Day just around the corner.
