It's an odd ending, spurred in part by the Yankees' choice to move Jazz Chisholm back to his preferred spot at second base. LeMahieu ended up playing in seven seasons with the Yankees and batting .278 in pinstripes.

DJ LeMahieu won three Gold Gloves with the Colorado Rockies and another with the New York Yankees. But his range has been diminished by injuries in recent years.

NEW YORK – One day after being designated for assignment by the Yankees, veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu was officially released from the roster Thursday morning. That followed “a tough couple of days’’ said manager Aaron Boone of conversations with LeMahieu that included GM Brian Cashman about how the organization viewed its infield alignment.

NEW YORK — Moving Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to second base doesn’t just disrupt DJ LeMahieu’s playing time routine. It effectively makes him a bench bat and nothing more moving forward for the Yankees. Yankees manager Aaron Boone revealed on Tuesday afternoon that there are no plans for LeMahieu to play third base.

The New York Yankees need Jazz Chisholm reinforcements, and may have to battle the Dodgers to do so. Eugenio Suarez would be a perfect fit in the Bronx.

The New York Yankees made perhaps the most dramatic roster move of their season on Wednesday when they designated veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu for assignment. On the one hand, the move wasn't much of a surprise as LeMahieu has struggled to effectively man an infield position this year.
