Yankees manager Aaron Boone revealed Saturday that LeMahieu has a non-displaced bone fracture in his right foot, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
LeMahieu was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday. He underwent an MRI on Friday, which revealed the bone fracture, and the veteran infielder will be re-imaged in two weeks. In LeMahieu's absence, Oswaldo Cabrera has drawn the starts at third base to start the season.

The Yankees placed LeMahieu (foot) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
LeMahieu's rehab from a bone bruise in his foot is coming along but hasn't advanced enough for him to play in the opener. The veteran infielder will undergo an MRI on Friday to check his progress. Oswaldo Cabrera and Jon Berti will handle third base while LeMahieu is out.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Monday that LeMahieu (foot) will begin the season on the injured list, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's confirmation of what manager Aaron Boone said Sunday was the likely result. Cashman added that LeMahieu is also dealing with inflammation in addition to a bone bruise in his right foot and will undergo another MRI later this week to see how the healing has come along. Because the IL move can be backdated, LeMahieu could return as soon as the Yankees' home opener on April 5, and Cashman didn't rule out the veteran infielder being ready by that date.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that LeMahieu (foot) is a "longshot" to be ready for Opening Day, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
LeMahieu has been taking part in some casual baseball activities, but it appears he may be opening the season on the injured list, If that's the case, Oswaldo Cabrera is the likely starter at the hot corner Opening Day in Houston.

LeMahieu (foot) did some light running and fielded some grounders Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said afterward that it was "a good sign" for LeMahieu but added that the infielder has "still got a ways to go" before he will be ready to play in games. It's going to be a close call for LeMahieu's Opening Day readiness as he works his way back from a bone bruise in his right foot.

LeMahieu (foot) did some light footwork exercises Thursday, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuty noted that LeMahieu was moving around "gingerly" and "definitely didn't push it." Any amount of activity is better than none, of course, after LeMahieu has been hobbling around the Yankees' spring training facility in recent days. The veteran infielder has expressed optimism that he can make it back from his right foot bone bruise in time for Opening Day, but it's definitely not a slam dunk.

LeMahieu (foot) on Wednesday didn't rule out being ready for Opening Day, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
LeMahieu is dealing with a bone bruise in his right foot which is causing plenty of discomfort. The Yankees have only five more Grapefruit League games after Wednesday's contest and it doesn't sound like LeMahieu is a given to play in any of them. However, the 35-year-old said that he's "had plenty of at-bats" and is "pretty much ready" for the start of the season. If the team opts to hold LeMahieu out for a bit, Oswaldo Cabrera would be in line for third base duties.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that he's not sure whether LeMahieu (foot) will be ready for Opening Day, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
X-rays on LeMahieu's right foot came back negative after he fouled a ball off the area in Saturday's Grapefruit League contest. However, LeMahieu is dealing with a "pretty significant bone bruise," per Boone, and remains in discomfort. The club doesn't want LeMahieu to have to play through anything early on in the season, so it will exercise caution. Oswaldo Cabrera would likely be the top candidate to fill in at third base if LeMahieu has to miss time to begin the season.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that LeMahieu's left foot injury could "cost him some days here," Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
LeMahieu fouled a ball off the foot during a Grapefruit League contest Saturday. X-rays came back negative, and while LeMahieu is feeling better, he still remains sore and will need a few days of rest. The Yankees will wait and see how the infielder responds over the next few days before having a better feel for his status.
