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.

DJ LeMahieu has been cut by the New York Yankees with almost $22 million remaining on his contract, one day after the two-time batting champion got demoted to the bench.

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.

In LeMahieu’s first four years as a Yankee, he hit .296 with an .806 OPS in 470 games. Over his past three, as his body betrayed him, he hit .237 with a .665 OPS in 248 games.

The New York Yankees have officially parted ways with infielder DJ LeMahieu. The move was announced this afternoon; the team is designating him for assignment (DFA) after a long stretch of disappointing baseball.

The New York Yankees could soon cut ties with their infield veteran after a demotion solicited a "not great" reaction.

The Yankees moved on from DJ LeMahieu Wednesday when the veteran infielder was designated for assignement with about $22 million left on a six-year contract.
