In the midst of a summer swoon, the Yankees made arguably their most stunning move of the season so far.

The club announced on July 9 that veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu is being designated for assignment, possibly ending his tenure in pinstripes. LeMahieu, 36, is in the fifth season of a six-year, $90 million contract he signed with the Yankees.

In his 15th MLB season, LeMahieu has struggled in the field and at the plate since returning from a spring training injury. He sports a .266 batting average and a .338 on-base percentage to go along with two home runs and 12 RBI in 45 appearances.
