Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Resumes baseball activities
DJ LeMahieu (hip) has been doing some baseball activities, including hitting off a tee, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.LeMahieu landed on the injured list Sept. 9 due to a right hip impingement. The veteran infielder hasn't been ruled out from returning before the end of the regular season, though it's unclear how close he may be to being ready to play in games. LeMahieu will likely take on a bench role if he's able to play again this season, as the New York Yankees are set across the infield and have Giancarlo Stanton locked in as the everyday DH.

Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Powers Yankees to win
DJ LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a two-run double in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Phillies.Making his first start in five games, LeMahieu would ultimately drive in all six of New York's runs in the winning effort -- he launched a grand slam off Cristopher Sanchez in the second inning to give the New York Yankees an early 4-0 cushion before extending the lead to 6-3 in the sixth with a two-out, RBI double off Jose Ruiz. It was a much-needed performance for LeMahieu, whose last multi-hit game came on July 9. He'd gone just 2-for-32 (.068) in his subsequent 14 contests. Despite his effort Wednesday, LeMahieu is still likely stuck on the short side of a platoon with Ben Rice at first base, with Jazz Chisholm taking over at third. LeMahieu's still slashing just .182/.270/.252 through 164 plate appearances this year with two homers, 19 RBI and 13 runs scored.

LeMahieu looks like he'll have to settle for a short-side platoon role moving forward while he's slashed just .194/.279/.255 against right-handed pitching so far this season.
