The Yankees are expected to activate veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu prior to Tuesday's game. If Cabrera's injury is as serious as it appears, LeMahieu will be able to slot into third base without much friction -- either from a starting lineup or active roster perspective. LeMahieu had missed the first month-plus of the season with a calf injury.

When lefty Gabe Speier took off for Castillo to start the seventh, manager Aaron Boone went to his bench and sent up the righty-swinging Goldschmidt for rookie catcher J.C. Escarra, a left-handed hitter.
