The New York Yankees have started the season with a promising record of 12-5, showing signs of success. However, infielder DJ LeMahieu has been placed on the injured list due to a bone bruise sustained from a foul ball during spring training. His absence has given Oswaldo Cabrera more playing time at third base, where he has performed well with a .292/.346/.521 slash line, three home runs, and 12 RBI.
Manager Aaron Boone confirmed that LeMahieu will be going to Somerset for his rehab work, but it remains to be seen if he will need more than five games to recover. Meanwhile, ace pitcher Gerrit Cole is making progress in his recovery from right elbow inflammation. Cole recently threw from 75 feet as part of his rehab and is aiming to be back on the mound by June 1.
