Let’s take a few Yankees developments and get to a question: Just how much do they need to add a righty hitter from outside the organization?

Development 1: DJ LeMahieu produced four hits on Sunday in a win over the Dodgers. He had three hits on May 24. In between, he went 0-for-15 with seven strikeouts.

Development 2: Jasson Dominguez suffered what the Yankees called a left thumb contusion, also on Sunday.

Development 3: Jazz Chisholm Jr., who last played in the majors April 30, is due to be activated off the injured list (oblique) as early as Tuesday — to play third base.
