The Yankees are in a far better situation this spring training compared to their 2023 roster. With the outfield rejuvenated and the starting rotation healthy, the Yankees have far more positives to take away from the early stages ramping up into the regular season.
During Major League Baseball’s Winter Meetings in December 2023, New York Yankees Manager Aaron Boone named DJ LeMahieu as the starting everyday third baseman for 2024.
In a perfect world, Yankees‘ second-year shortstop Anthony Volpe would man the lead-off spot, given his capabilities on base.

The Yankees haven't missed the playoffs since 2016. With 22 games left, it would take a miracle for the streak to continue. Let's dream. Here's the three things the Yankees need to make it to the playoffs.
DJ LeMahieu hasn't missed a beat in his return to Coors Field after making himself at home at the ballpark for seven seasons early in his career. LeMahieu had two singles in the New York Yankees' 7-2 setback to the Colorado Rockies on Friday and recorded his second three-hit performance of the season in a 6-3 victory on Saturday.
The Yankees' offense could be getting an extra jolt this season, as infielder DJ LeMahieu is healthy and has been tearing it up in Spring Training. LeMahieu is coming off two down seasons in a row, in which he dealt with injuries down the stretch of the season.
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu says his right foot is "100 percent" entering spring training. He elected to follow a non-surgical plan in his recovery from a foot fracture that kept him out of the postseason.
Assuming LeMahieu is healthy and productive, the Yankees will pencil him into the lineup every day, whether at third, second or first base.
LeMahieu missed much of the final month of the regular season with what was described as a toe injury, and the three-time All-Star was left off the Yankees' ALDS roster despite returning for the final week of the season.
LeMahieu has battled the issue off and on for a few weeks, and he’s struggled mightily.
