Yankees' DJ LeMahieu (COVID-19) remains uncertain for opener
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (COVID-19) remains uncertain for Opening Day on Thursday versus the Washington Nationals.
What It Means:
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that the team is "still working through" whether LeMahieu will play on Thursday. LeMahieu was a late arrival to summer camp workouts after being diagnosed with COVID-19. He was asymptomatic. The 32-year-old slashed a robust .327/.375/.518 with 26 home runs, 102 RBI, and 109 runs scored over 655 plate appearances last season.
Operating under the assumption that LeMahieu plays on Thursday, numberFire's models expect him to score 13.8 FanDuel points. For the season, LeMahieu is projected for a .295 batting average and .805 OPS with 7 homers, 29 RBI, 36 runs scored, and 3 steals over 213 plate appearances.
