DJ LeMahieu Scratched from Yankees Lineup After Injury in Pre-Game Warmups
Yankees Infielder Struck in the Face by Ball
Status Unclear for Friday's Game
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Rockies due to an injury sustained during pre-game warmups.
LeMahieu was hit in the face by a ball while taking grounders at first base and is currently being evaluated.
His status for Friday's game remains unclear several hours before the scheduled start time.
The Yankees are hoping that LeMahieu will be able to play in the series opener against the Rockies, which begins at 7:05 p.m. ET.
LeMahieu has been a key player for the Yankees this season hitting .261 with four home runs and 15 RBIs in 56 games.
He is expected to miss at least one game, and his absence could force the Yankees to make a lineup change.
The Yankees are currently 26-30 on the season and are in fourth place in the AL East.
They will need to win more games in order to contend for a playoff spot, and they will need LeMahieu to be a key part of their lineup.
