D.J. LeMahieu is expected to take over as the Rockies' starting second baseman following the demotion of Josh Rutledge.
Rutledge's recent slump and LeMahieu's .412/.444/.529 batting line early on, along with his solid defense, has convinced the Rockies to make a change. LeMahieu is a .294 career hitter over 125 games, but he offers next to nothing in the power and speed departments, making him worthy of picking up only in NL-only formats. May 22 - 9:38 PM

D.J. LeMahieu - 2B - Rockies

D.J. LeMahieu went 4-for-4 with a couple RBI in Monday's win over the Brewers.

LeMahieu picked up his first major league home run over the weekend, and now he has his first four-hit game. The 24-year-old is hitting .302/.333/.395 over 86 at-bats this season and should continue to see regular time at second base, making him a worthy NL-only addition.

D.J. LeMahieu - 2B - Rockies

D.J. LaMahieu went 2-for-4 and hit his first MLB home run in Saturday’s loss to the Giants.

The 24-year-old is now hitting .266 with six RBI in 78 at-bats this season. He could begin to earn more starts at second base.

He was sent down to make room for Jonathan Herrera on the active roster. LeMahieu, 23, is hitting .205 (8-for-39) with a double and two RBI in 19 games with the Rockies this season. He should be back at some point this summer.

D.J. LeMahieu - 2B - Rockies

Rockies recalled INF D.J. LeMahieu from Triple-A Colorado Springs.

LeMahieu was acquired this offseason from the Cubs in a four-player trade involving third baseman Ian Stewart, but he failed to make the Opening Day roster. He was hitting .315/.354/.398 with a homer and 11 steals at Colorado Springs and will give the Rox some infield depth.

D.J. LeMahieu - 2B - Rockies

Rockies reassigned INF D.J. LeMahieu and LHP Christian Friedrich to minor league camp.

LeMahieu was acquired this offseason from the Cubs in a four-player trade involving third baseman Ian Stewart. He was expected to get a crack at the Rockies' starting second base gig at the time of the swap, but Colorado later acquired Marco Scutaro from Boston to fill that role. LeMahieu was 3-for-14 with two RBI this spring in the Cactus League.

D.J. LeMahieu - 2B - Rockies

New acquisition D.J. LeMahieu is expected to compete for the Rockies' second base job in 2012.

A career .317/.353/.399 hitter in the minors, LeMahieu has yet to really find a position, as he's played second and third base, as well as shortstop. His long-term role is likely as a utility player, but the Rockies will give him a shot to earn regular time at second base. He'd have to carry a high average to help fantasy owners, as he doesn't have power or speed.

D.J. LeMahieu - 2B - Rockies

Rockies acquired INF D.J. LeMahieu and OF Tyler Colvin from the Cubs for 3B Ian Stewart and RHP Casey Weathers.

LeMahieu, a .317 career batter in the minors, made his major league debut in 2011 at the age of 23. He doesn't have much power and is doubtful to become anything close to a star, but the Rockies can use him comfortably as a utility infielder in 2012 and hope that he develops into something greater.

Cubs recalled INF D.J. LeMahieu from Triple-A Iowa.

LeMahieu, 23, went 9-for-37 (.243) with one double, one RBI and a 9/0 K/BB in his first taste of the big leagues earlier this season. He will function as a backup infielder down the stretch and is unlikely to carry any fantasy value.
