The 2016 legend got a huge ovation on Friday afternoon ahead of the first […]

The New York Yankees currently lead the AL East by a game and a half over the Baltimore Orioles. As the team heads into their Sunday matchup with the St. Louis Cardinals at home, a slew of roster moves were executed in order to improve the major league roster. The biggest one? Activating first baseman […]

The New York Yankees are fine-tuning their roster with about four weeks remaining on their schedule. They sent emergency catcher and reserve first basemen Ben Rice and back-of-the-rotation RHP Will Warren down to the minors. It’s expected that Aaron Boone and the Yankees will call up Anthony Rizzo, who’s been rehabbing a return from the 60-day IL. These […]

The New York Yankees want to keep a hold on their first-place American League East standing in September, and they will be tested against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. The Yankees have dealt with their fair share of injury woes during the 2024 season, including an absence from first baseman Anthony Rizzo. However, New […]

The New York Yankees are slowly backsliding and might get beat to the top spot of the AL East. Aaron Boone’s squad is now just one game ahead of the Baltimore Orioles and has only won five out of their last 10 matchups. Despite big performances from Aaron Judge, they still need some more juice […]

The New York Yankees’ lineup could use a boost. Aaron Judge and Juan Soto have continued to impress, but New York’s offense has not been reliable overall in 2024. Anthony Rizzo is not the same All-Star hitter he once was, but he could help the Yankees once he returns from injury. Rizzo, 35, is battling […]

The New York Yankees lost starting first baseman Anthony Rizzo to a fractured arm in mid June. The three-time All-Star has been out of action for over a month as he recovers from the injury.

Via Bryan Hoch: “Yankees injury updates: RHP Ian Hamilton to throw ‘high-intensity’ bullpen […]

The New York Yankees were relatively quiet at the MLB trade deadline. While the Yankees upgraded their offense and bullpen, New York did not address first base via trade.

The New York Yankees have consistently been the best team in all of baseball this season. They currently stand with the best record in the MLB at 51-26, with a half-game lead over the Baltimore Orioles, who have been nipping at their heels all season long. So how could this team improve themselves by the […]

The New York Yankees are still the best team in baseball, at least according to their impressive 50-24 record.

However, first baseman Anthony Rizzo doesn’t quite fall into that category. There […]

The New York Yankees are making some changes following an injury to Anthony Rizzo. The Bronx Bombers are bringing up Ben Rice from their farm system to replace Rizzo, per the New York Post.

Aaron Boone and the New York Yankees may still be at the top of the AL East standings but their recent slump might be a point of concern. They have split their last five games and just came off a big 9-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Now, the Aaron Judge-led squad has a […]

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo left Sunday’s game against the Boston Red Sox after colliding with pitcher Brennan Bernadino at first base, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.

Earlier this week, the New York Yankees made a drastic lineup decision by benching Anthony Rizzo. The veteran first baseman is getting some time off after a brutal stretch in the hopes that he can shake off his struggles and bounce back. He took a big step toward doing so on Thursday, when he hit […]

The New York Yankees have been the best team in the American League to start the 2024 campaign, and their 48-21 record is only behind the Philadelphia Phillies in terms of winning percentage. Even more impressive for the Yankees is the fact that they have managed to do this without one of their expected top […]

The New York Yankees made a pretty drastic lineup decision by benching Anthony Rizzo. The veteran first baseman is getting some time off after a brutal stretch in the hopes that he can shake off his struggles and go back to being a top-notch starter. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Rizzo could get Monday […]

The New York Yankees are tied for the best record in baseball and have looked fairly unbeatable over the first couple of months of the 2024 MLB season, but that doesn’t mean that all of their players are making fans happy. While Aaron Judge and Juan Soto are two of the top candidates for AL […]

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo is mired in a miserable slump, and manager Aaron Boone provided his thoughts on the situation this week. Some have wondered if Rizzo’s struggles are a result of any lingering concussion issues from last year, but Boone immediately shot that notion down. “I don’t think so because he […]

DJ LeMahieu was seemingly on the verge of returning to the New York Yankees heading into his most recent rehab game. Barring any setbacks, New York was hopeful that the veteran infielder would re-join the big league ball club as soon as possible. LeMahieu, however, exited Tuesday’s rehab game early after feeling soreness in his […]

Opening Day is right around the corner and the New York Yankees are finalizing its active roster. However, there are some concerns at first base as both Anthony Rizzo and DJ LeMahieu are dealing with injuries. The latest update on both veteran first basemen isn’t looking great for New York. Especially for Rizzo, as he […]

Anthony Rizzo dealt with concussion concerns in 2023, which led to him missing a significant amount of time. The New York Yankees first baseman recently addressed returning in 2024 after his injury-plagued ’23 campaign, via Greg Joyce of the New York Post. “You’re just up to speed,” Rizzo said. “When you’re not up to speed, […]

The New York Yankees will have to add some talent to bounce back from an 82-80 season, but Anthony Rizzo’s performance coming back from a concussion that derailed his 2023 season will be a huge component as well. Anthony Rizzo was off to a great start in 2023 before he and Fernando Tatis Jr. of […]

Anthony Rizzo knows the New York Yankees struggled in 2023. The first baseman wants an answer though. He recently issued a straight-forward message after the Yankees were eliminated from playoff contention. “You can’t just sit here and say that what we did this year is good enough to go into next year,” Rizzo said, via […]

Although the New York Yankees are fully committed to giving their younger players plenty of opportunities for the rest of 2023, it would also be advantageous for some of the slumping veterans to find their rhythm at the plate. Unfortunately, the organization has no choice but to shut one of them down. Amid growing concerns, […]

The latest Anthony Rizzo and Josh Donaldson injury updates indicate that both players could return for the New York Yankees in 2023. Aaron Bone told reporters that the players took live at-bats at the Yankees’ complex Saturday. Josh Donaldson could start a minor-league rehab assignment at some point in the near future, Boone said. The […]

New York Yankees star Anthony Rizzo is not blaming anyone for the late diagnosis of his concussion that is likely linked to the May 28 incident against the San Diego Padres.

Interestingly enough, former Yankee Luke Voit opted out of his minor league contract with the New York Mets just hours before this move was […]

The New York Yankees have placed Anthony Rizzo on the 10-day injured list. Rizzo’s IL stint is due to “post-concussion syndrome,” which the Yankees believe likely is connected to a collision he had with San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. on May 28. Oswaldo Cabrera was called up to replace Rizzo on the Yankees’ […]

The New York Yankees received updates on SP Nestor Cortes and 1B Anthony Rizzo. The good news for New York is that Cortes is expected to return from injury and start on Saturday versus the Houston Astros, per Yankees beat writer Greg Joyce.

It appears that New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo has finally broken out of his slump (thanks in part to Taylor Swift). His hitting malaise has seemingly been cured after snapping a seven-game hitless streak and going 5-for-8 over the final two games of the recently concluded series against the Kansas City Royals. In […]

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo had a big day on Sunday against the Kansas City Royals, going 4-for-4 with a home run and two RBI, and he apparently changed his walk-up song to a Taylor Swift song to shake things up. “Taylor Swift, it’s her summer, really,” Anthony Rizzo said, via Awful Announcing. […]

The entire New York Yankees lineup seemingly began to slump after Aaron Judge suffered an injury in early June. With Judge still out, the lineup hasn’t found much consistency.
