Yankees’ DJ LeMahieu takes batting practice for first time since foot injury
NY Post
DJ LeMahieu is making progress in his comeback from the right foot contusion that’s sidelined him since the spring.
LeMahieu took on-field batting practice Friday for the first time since the injury and said he “felt really good.”
He still has to add to his list of baseball activities before he’s able to begin rehab games, since LeMahieu said he hasn’t begun moving side-to-side either in the field or running.
“Now it’s the bounceback,” Aaron Boone said before the Yankees’ 9-8 win over the Blue Jays at the Stadium. “He’s a little [more] sore [Saturday]. The biggest test is side-to-side motion [and] not where you’re just running straight ahead.”
Boone added LeMahieu is running “about 90 percent” straight ahead.
“It’s about how he’s healing up,’’ the manager said. “We’ve just got to keep moving that needle.”
