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.

LeMahieu was clogging up second base in New York, which needed to be opened up for Jazz Chisholm Jr. to return to his natural position. The Yankees didn't think LeMahieu could handle third, so they cut him loose and ate the last $22 million on his contract.

The New York Yankees released two-time MLB batting champion DJ LeMahieu, ending his seven-year tenure with the team, they announced Thursday.

The New York Yankees designated DJ LeMahieu for assignment, cutting him loose with nearly two years left on his deal.

The New York Yankees are moving on from DJ LeMahieu after nearly seven years with the team. According to the New York Post's Jon Heyman, the Yankees have designated LeMahieu for assignment with $22 million left on his contract.

Aaron Boone announced that LeMahieu is no longer viewed as an everyday player. The veteran was not pleased about the change.
