Anthony Rizzo Shut Down For Remainder Of The Year

The New York Yankees are shutting down first baseman Anthony Rizzo (concussion) for the rest of the year, according to manager Aaron Boone. It shouldn't come as a huge surprise with the Yankees eight games out of the final wild-card spot in the American League entering play on Tuesday. The 34-year-old left-handed slugger had been making progress from his concussion issues, so he should be fine for the start of spring training in 2024. He's been out since landing on the concussion injured list on Aug. 3 with post-concussion syndrome. DJ LeMahieu will likely continue to serve as the team's primary first baseman the rest of the way. Rizzo will finish his 2023 campaign with a disappointing .244/.328/.378 slash line with 12 home runs, 41 RBI and 45 runs scored in 99 games.

Anthony Rizzo Taking Batting Practice

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo (concussion) was seen hitting home runs in batting practice at Yankee Stadium on Thursday. Rizzo said he was encouraged about his progress from post-concussion syndrome, and the expectation is he'll be back before the end of the season. However, the Yankees are taking his recovery week-to-week. The 34-year-old left-handed slugger has been out since Aug. 1 and probably won't be back in the Yankees lineup until sometime in September, but it remains to be seen if he'll require a minor-league rehab assignment before returning. The three-time All-Star has hit .244/.328/.378 this year with 12 home runs, 14 doubles, 41 RBI and 45 runs scored in 99 games before suffering a head injury. DJ LeMahieu is seeing most of the playing time at first base with Rizzo sidelined.

Anthony Rizzo Feeling Better

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo (concussion) has been feeling better and also hit in the batting cage on Friday. There's still no specific timetable for Rizzo's return to the Yankees lineup after he was placed on the injured list on Aug. 3 with post-concussion syndrome, but it at least sounds like he's making progress now. As long as the 34-year-old veteran doesn't have any setbacks, he should be able to return before the end of the 2023 season. Rizzo hopes to resume playing in games in a few weeks, so he could return to the big leagues in early September. Before going on the injured list, Rizzo was hitting .244/.328/.378 with 12 home runs, 41 RBI and 45 runs scored in 421 plate appearances and 99 games. The three-time All-Star will probably be eased back in at first base in the Bronx when he comes back.

Anthony Rizzo To Have More Testing Tuesday

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo (concussion) will head back to New York for more testing on Tuesday, but he said he feels like he's progressing from concussion issues. Rizzo did some light agility work in the outfield on Monday and walked at an incline on a treadmill. If the 34-year-old left-handed slugger gets good results from his tests on Tuesday, he could begin real baseball activities as he attempts to make his way back to the Yankees lineup. Rizzo has been out since Aug. 1. Before suffering a concussion, he had provided his fantasy managers with 12 home runs, 41 RBI, 45 runs scored and a .244/.328/.378 slash line in 421 trips to the plate and 99 games. Once he gets past his concussion, Rizzo should return to everyday duties at first base in the Bronx.

Anthony Rizzo Progressing, But Not Ready To Hit

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo (head) has been running and playing catch while he recovers from a concussion. The 34-year-old is aiming to ramp up baseball activities within the next week. While Rizzo is taking steps toward a return, he hasn't resumed hitting and remains in a week-to-week situation. The left-handed slugger was forced to the injured list on Aug. 3 with post-concussion syndrome and the Yankees remain hopeful he will return this year. Fantasy managers may have a hard time letting go, but Rizzo may not represent the strongest of stashes after slashing a feeble .172/.271/.225 with one home run, six doubles, and nine RBI in 192 plate appearances over 46 games since the calendar flipped to June.

Anthony Rizzo Goes On Concussion Injured List

The New York Yankees placed first baseman Anthony Rizzo (head) on the concussion injured list on Thursday. Rizzo has been dealing with issues with his head since all the way back in late May after a collision with Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr., and it helps explain why he's been cold offensively over most of the summer. The 33-year-old left-hander could be out for an extended period of time, so fantasy managers need to be prepared for that possibility. Until Rizzo is feeling better, Jake Bauers should be New York's primary first baseman. Rizzo has been a disappointment for fantasy managers with only 12 home runs and 41 RBI in 373 at-bats with a slash line of .244/.328/.378 and a .706 OPS.

Anthony Rizzo Sitting Again Against Houston

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo will start the game on the bench on Thursday against the visiting Houston Astros. Rizzo also sat out of Wednesday's game, but the Yankees are also facing a righty on the mound on Thursday in Cristian Javier. The 33-year-old veteran left-handed slugger is in a funk at the plate of late and homered just once in all of July. In his last seven games, Rizzo has gone 4-for-29 (.138) with no homers or RBI, 10 strikeouts and one run scored since July 25. The cold stretch has dropped his season line to .244/.328/.378, and he's added 12 homers, 41 RBI and 45 runs scored in 373 at-bats on the year. With Rizzo getting right mentally, Jake Bauers will start at first base and bat leadoff for the Yanks against Javier.

Anthony Rizzo Hitting Leadoff Tuesday

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo is playing first base and is serving as the team's leadoff hitter for a tilt on Tuesday against the visiting Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Kyle Gibson. Rizzo dealt with an elbow injury late last week but played in both games of Saturday's doubleheader before getting a rest day on Sunday. Tuesday's game will be the first time that the 33-year-old left-handed slugger will hit leadoff in 2023, as the Yankees look to kick-start their struggling offense. Rizzo hasn't homered since all the way back on May 20, but he's been hitting well in his last 10 games, going 8-for-29 (.276) with a double, 10 walks and six runs scored. In five career at-bats against Gibson, Rizzo has a homer and is batting .400.
