Here are the latest updates I can share based on recent reporting:
Paul DeJong has been in the news due to a nose injury he suffered early in the season with the Washington Nationals, with reports indicating surgery and an expected return around the All-Star break if healing progresses as hoped. This line of reporting was highlighted by MLB outlets in March 2026.
Earlier in January 2026, DeJong signed a minor-league contract with the New York Yankees, with an invitation to Major League Spring Training. He was competing for a potential major-league role, depending on roster needs and his performance in spring.
As of late April 2026, Fox Sports noted discussions around whether DeJong would opt out of his minor-league deal if not promoted, though MLB reporting suggested he planned to stay with the Yankees through spring training in hopes of earning a big-league spot.
