It seems the New York Yankees might have been bit by the injury bug once again during spring training. According to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, Yankees manager Aaron Boone told the media after Saturday afternoon's 9-3 victory over the Houston Astros that veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu tweaked a calf muscle during his second at-bat of the game.

New York Yankees’ third baseman DJ LeMahieu injured his left calf in his spring training debut. Serving as designated hitter, LeMahieu was injured on his second at-bat in New York’s 9-3 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday.

Stanton's absence will give Boone a chance to shift his outfield. Former MLB outfielder Cameron Maybin has suggested moving Jasson Domínguez, who has struggled adjusting to left field, back to center to regain comfort. It's a good idea.

If the reigning AL Rookie of the Year misses time for the New York Yankees, they have a good pitcher to replace him.

The New York Yankees announced that slugger Giancarlo Stanton will begin the 2025 season on the injured list due to elbow issues, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Stanton left spring training to return to New York and received platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in both elbows.
