The New York Yankees designated DJ LeMahieu for assignment Wednesday, presumably ending the veteran infielder\'s tenure with the organization despite being owed $22 million through next season.
The move came a day after manager Aaron Boone announced that LeMahieu would move from New York\'s starting second baseman to a bench role. Boone said LeMahieu did not take the demotion well but emphasized that LeMahieu didn\'t ask for his release.
