Dj LaMahieu says he is 100% percent after avoiding foot surgery

New York Yankees all star, DJ LeMahieu returns to Spring training and says that he is 100% after choosing not to have surgery on his right foot during the off season.
Instead of having surgery , LeMahieu opted for a non-surgical recovery plan on the foot fracture that he had suffered last season. This foot fracture caused LeMahieu to miss the postseason, which is one of the most important times of the season. I'm certain this was a big let-down for the Yankee fans. However, since returning to Spring training in Tampa Bay, FL, DJ LeMahieu has stated that he feels 100% after avoiding surgery this past off season. With this being said, avoiding surgery may not have been a bad decision by LeMahieu and is something positive that has come out of this.
Hopefully, things remain good for LeMahieu’s physical health now and in the future. A healthy DJ LeMahieu is a scary DJ LeMahieu, and the Yankees need him. Also, I feel like ESPN covered this story very well. They did a good job with the sources as they used dialogue from an interview with DJ LeMahieu himself and from Aaron Boone, the Yankees Manager.
