The New York Yankees are placing infielder DJ LeMahieu on the injured list because of a sports hernia, manager Aaron Boone said Sunday.

The news came hours before New York’s final game of the regular season against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees enter Sunday tied with the Boston Red Sox atop the wild-card standings and a game ahead of the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays.

LeMahieu, who has played in 150 games this season, is slashing .268/.349/.362 with 10 home runs and 57 RBIs. He has not played since Thursday.
