TAMPA. Fla. -- New York Yankees leadoff hitter DJ LeMahieu will start the season on the injured list because of a bruised right foot, the latest injury setback for the former batting champion.
The 35-year-old third baseman has been sidelined since fouling a ball off the foot on March 16. He is expected to miss at least the seven-game trip that starts Thursday at Houston.
"It's a little bit slow go on the recovery side," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Monday. "He banged it up pretty good."
An MRI and CT scan last week were both negative.
