Yankees’ 3rd baseman DJ LeMahieu makes season debut batting 9th

Associated Press  

ANAHEIM, Calif. — DJ LeMahieu made his season debut for the New York Yankees on Tuesday night. With leadoff hitter Anthony Volpe on the longest hitting streak by a Yankees’ batter in 12 years, manager Aaron Boone decided to have LeMahieu at the bottom of the lineup. “This is a guy who already has had an amazing career with the Yankees and the unselfishness to completely not make it about him wasn’t surprising.” LeMahieu came into Tuesday’s game with a.312 batting average in the 29 games he batted ninth during his major league career. LeMahieu returns to a Yankees’ offense that lead the majors in home runs, on-base percentage and OPS along with being third with a.257 batting average. “I would have rather been playing, but obviously it has been a special start to the season so looking forward to being a part of it.” Boone said he plans on LeMahieu being in the lineup for all three games of the Angels’ series and Friday’s series opener in San Francisco before giving him a couple days off.
