DJ LeMahieu has been cut by the New York Yankees with almost $22 million remaining on his contract, one day after the two-time batting champion got demoted to the bench.
NEW YORK — Aaron Judge walked into the Yankees ’ clubhouse on Thursday afternoon and it was business as usual. He changed into his Yankees gear, getting ready for his pregame routine, a process that starts with the team’s daily hitters meeting.
The Yankees moved on from DJ LeMahieu Wednesday when the veteran infielder was designated for assignement with about $22 million left on a six-year contract.
The New York Yankees could soon cut ties with their infield veteran after a demotion solicited a "not great" reaction.
Rookie Cam Schlittler was crowned the Yankees’ fastball king, overpowering the Mariners over 5.2 innings in a 9-6 victory. The 22-year-old righthander topped out at 100-mph in his major league debut. No Yankee has thrown a triple-digit fastball since Aroldis Chapman in 2022.
The New York Yankees moved Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to second base and, as a result, DJ LeMahieu to the bench. He is not pleased with the move.
