Yankees' lineup takes hit with LeMahieu to IL

The New York Yankees placed infielder DJ LeMahieu on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a sports hernia.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters that the decision was made after LeMahieu worked out on the field and took some swings before Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

"In the end, he's too compromised to play right now,'' Boone said.

The manager said it's possible LeMahieu would be available for the American League Championship Series if the Yankees reach that round of the playoffs.

New York also transferred slugger Luke Voit to the 60-day injured list, ending the 2020 home run champion's season.

LeMahieu was pulled from New York's game Thursday at Toronto after six innings and hasn't played since. He has been day-to-day, trying to work his way back into the lineup.

Rougned Odor started at third base in LeMahieu's place Sunday, and Tyler Wade and Andrew Velazquez could also see time at the hot corner with LeMahieu out.

Right-hander Luis Gil will be recalled to replace LeMahieu on the roster, Boone said.

LeMahieu is hitting .268 with 10 home runs and 57 RBIs this season and leads the Yankees with 160 hits.

Voit went on the injured list Thursday with inflammation in the same left knee he had surgically repaired in the spring. He batted .239 with 11 homers and a .764 OPS in 68 games a year after leading baseball with 22 homers during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

The Yankees enter Sunday's final regular-season game tied for the first wild-card spot with the Boston Red Sox. The Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners trail both teams by just one game.
