DJ LeMahieu is set to be activated from the injured list before Tuesday’s game and will return to the Yankees’ lineup for Wednesday’s finale against the Mariners, according to manager Aaron Boone. LeMahieu, who has missed the first 40 games of the season due to a left calf strain, has shown strong progress in his rehab, going 12-for-27 with two extra-base hits in minor league appearances. Boone emphasized the importance of LeMahieu’s health as he is expected to play primarily at second base until Jazz Chisholm returns, with a potential sharing of duties at third base with Oswaldo Cabrera thereafter.
