New York Yankees leadoff hitter D.J. LeMahieu will start the season on the injured list because of a bruised right foot.
LaMahieu has been sidelined since fouling a ball off the foot on March 16. He is expected to miss at least the seven-game trip that starts Thursday at the Houston Astros.
\"It\'s a little bit slow go on the recovery side,\" Brian Cashman said. \"He banged it up pretty good.\"
An MRI and CT scan last week were both negative. Cashman said there will be a follow-up MRI this week.
