After deciding to send infielder DJ LeMahieu to the bench earlier this week, the New York Yankees announced on Wednesday that they have designated him for assignment. The shocking move puts an end to his seven-season tenure in the Bronx.

The soon-to-be 37-year-old, whose last few years as a Yankee were plagued by injuries, was batting .266 with a .674 OPS through 142 plate appearances this season.
