DJ LeMahieu

After a beatdown by the Mets, the Yankees manager and players sounded off about the team's struggles, and our writers provide perspective.

Plus notes on Nestor Cortes, who struggled against the Rays but thinks the Yankees' front office will help them at the trade deadline.

With LeMahieu struggling, the Yankees could look to add a third baseman at the trade deadline.

The Yankees have lost 15 of their last 20 games. Nestor Cortes said he doesn’t think anyone is panicking inside the clubhouse.

The underlying metrics aren't impressive, so why do the Yankees think better days are ahead for the veteran third baseman?

In the next seven weeks, the Yankees have a rare opportunity to improve from a mere World Series contender to a legitimate favorite.

The Yankees' lineup, which has the highest wRC+ in MLB, should get even deeper with LeMahieu's return.

Cashman pre-emptively addressed Soto's future and discussed the infield conundrum, LeMahieu's injury and Judge's slow start.

Initially, LeMahieu was diagnosed with a "pretty significant" bone bruise. He could return to the team in April.

The third baseman's status for Opening Day and beyond is now in doubt after fouling a pitch off his right foot on Saturday.

“I’m feeling a big year out of DJ again,” Aaron Judge said. “Just the work he’s put in and the laser focus he has.”

As one player put it, “What could go wrong, went wrong.”

The Yankees built a team with high-priced and often injured veterans. They can't keep pointing to injuries for their woes.

There are a couple of weeks until the trade deadline, but the Yankees can try some things now to add a jolt to their struggling offense.

Stanton's three-run homer was the difference in Saturday's 6-3 win against the Rockies.

A 14-1 loss to Baltimore featured another bad outing by Luis Severino, poor fielding in left and struggles at third.

It was an ugly loss in all phases for the Yankees, who allowed four home runs and committed three errors.

Over the last 15 days, the Yankees have MLB's lowest OPS at .599. They also have the lowest on-base percentage and batting average.
