The New York Yankees released two-time MLB batting champion DJ LeMahieu, ending his seven-year tenure with the team, they announced Thursday.

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.

On Wednesday, The Athletic's Tim Britton, Chad Jennings, and Aaron Gleeman linked the Yankees to a potential shutdown closer--Jhoan Durán of the Minnesota Twins.

So, yes, it's pretty rare for the Bronx Bombers to be completely blanked in the hit department; in recent years, with such a powerful offense, it feels even less likely for a pitcher (or pitchers) to no-hit the Yanks. A small ballpark plus power being so emphasized in today's game is not a recipe for no-hitters.

Seattle Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo lost his no-hit bid against the New York Yankees when Jazz Chisholm Jr. singled to right field leading off the eighth inning Thursday night.

Per MLB.com's Bryan Hoch, Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced Clarke Schmidt will undergo Tommy John surgery on Friday. Schmidt has been on the 15-day injured list because of a forearm injury.

The Yankees opened the year looking like a juggernaut. The offense was clubbing teams into submission, the rotation was holding strong, and the bullpen looked deep enough to survive a long summer. But over the last few weeks, all of that has frayed.

NEW YORK — Mariners reliever Casey Legumina started his outing on Tuesday night with a first-pitch sweeper to Yankees catcher Austin Wells, a surprise to try and get ahead.
