DJ LeMahieu Shines as Yankees Beat Phillies

DJ LeMahieu, struggling with a season-long slump, had a breakout performance in the Yankees' 6-5 win over the Phillies, driving in all six of New York's runs with a grand slam and a two-run double. This was his first start in five games, and he had been limited primarily to a defensive role recently due to poor hitting and the arrival of Jazz Chisholm Jr. at third base. LeMahieu's offensive woes have been exacerbated by a non-displaced foot fracture earlier in the season, which has affected his performance at the plate. Despite his struggles, general manager Brian Cashman expressed confidence in LeMahieu's potential to regain his form. LeMahieu remains optimistic but acknowledges that it’s just one good game and he's still fighting through his challenges. His future role with the Yankees remains uncertain as he continues to work on improving his batting average and overall performance.
