“I’AM LEAVING” DJ LeMahieu has announced that he is leaving the New York Yankees due to…..

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Add DJ LeMahieu to the Yankees’ list of potential health concerns as spring training enters its final week.
LeMahieu underwent X-rays on his right foot that came back negative Saturday after fouling a ball off himself in the Yankees’ win over the Blue Jays.
The veteran third baseman was clearly in pain but remained in the game to hit a single and ran the bases before being removed for a pinch hitter the next inning while the rest of the Yankees’ regulars each got one more at-bat.
On Sunday morning, LeMahieu was “still sore” when he reported to the Yankees’ facility, manager Aaron Boone said.
Hopefully it’s just a day-to-day thing,” Boone said before the Yankees’ 12-6 loss to the Red Sox at JetBlue Park. “But he got it pretty good.”
LeMahieu was getting treatment when the Yankees left for Fort Myers, a trip LeMahieu was not scheduled to make anyway.
The right foot is the same one LeMahieu has had issues with in recent seasons after breaking a bone in his big toe and sustaining ligament damage in his second toe late in 2022.
Aaron Judge also stayed back in Tampa, where he was scheduled to hit inside again for a third straight day.
Sunday’s work was expected to include facing high velocity off a machine in his latest step back from an abdominal issue.
