NJ.com's Brendan Kuty wrote that Diaz would be the most sensible trade candidate for the Yankees if LeMahieu once again struggles. Diaz is only being paid $12 million as part of a team option, so it wouldn't be detrimental to the Yankees' thinning cap space.

The New York Yankees will be looking in-house in the immediate aftermath of a gruesome injury to their everyday third baseman.

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.
