\n Luke Voit and others believed it wouldn\u2019t take DJ LeMahieu long to get ready for the upcoming 60-game<\/a> regular season that opens Thursday.<\/p>\n

LeMahieu reported to the Yankees on Friday after testing negative twice for COVID-19 and the smooth-swinging second baseman was in Aaron Boone\u2019s lineup Sunday night against the Mets at Yankee Stadium in a 6-0 exhibition win.<\/p>\n

While the Mets played Saturday night, LeMahieu worked out at the Stadium and did well enough for Boone to start the Yankees\u2019 most complete hitter at second base and lead him off.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew after [Saturday\u2019s] workout he was leaning towards wanting to be in there,\u2019\u2019 Boone said during a Zoom call Sunday afternoon. \u201cWhen he woke up [Sunday] morning he texted me that he was feeling good.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

That led to a huddle with Michael Schuk, the Yankees\u2019 director of sports medicine and rehabilitation, LeMahieu and Boone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe kind of went through and kind of mapp<\/a>ed out a little bit of a plan moving forward and [Sunday] seemed to make some sense,\u2019\u2019 Boone said.<\/p>\n

Boone was impressed with LeMahieu, who went 0-for-2 and was replaced by Thairo Estrada at the start of the top of the fourth.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe looked good, smoked the ball his first time, kind of the typical DJ back up the middle and caught the pitcher and got to 3-2 his next at-bat,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cOpportunity to get out there and see pitches. For not having any live at-bats yet he just looked like DJ. You had that feeling that when he was in the box he was going to lay the barrel on it. I thought a positive step for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bigger issue is will LeMahieu, 32, be built up enough to be in the Opening Day lineup against Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a possibility, I don\u2019t know if it is realistic or not,\u2019\u2019 LeMahieu said Saturday about being ready for the first game. \u201cIt\u2019s up to the trainers and [Boone]. I think it will be pretty close. If not Opening Day, the first few games. For me, it is going to be live at-bats.\u2019\u2019\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
