Club option declined The Yankees declined Rizzo's $17 million club option for 2025 on Saturday.
Impact Rizzo slashed just .228/.301/.335 with 35 RBI across 375 plate appearances in 2024 -- his worst season at the plate since his rookie year with the Padres in 2011. Despite his significant drop in production, the 35-year-old first baseman should still be able to attract some attention in the open market, though he likely won't receive anything close to the $17 million average annual salary he'd been getting from New York.

Still playing with two broken fingers, Yankees 1B Anthony Rizzo excited for World Series return
Anthony Rizzo is still playing with two broken fingers on his right hand, although the swelling is gradually reducingOCTOBER 23 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Down time helping injured fingers Rizzo said Wednesday that the time off between the ALCS and World Series has allowed swelling in his fractured fingers to subside, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Impact The two fractured fingers on Rizzo's right hand have not yet fully healed, which led to the digits swelling up in between ALCS contests. However, the five days off between the ALCS and World Series has, unsurprisingly, been beneficial for the first baseman. Rizzo will likely still have to play through some discomfort against the Dodgers, but he'll be the Yankees' primary first baseman during the Fall Classic.

Absent from Game 3 lineup Rizzo is not in the lineup Thursday for Game 3 of the ALCS in Cleveland.
Impact Rizzo returned from two fractured fingers to reach base twice in each of the first two games of the series, but with southpaw Matthew Boyd on the hill for the Guardians in Game 3, the left-handed-hitting Rizzo will begin the contest on the bench. Jon Berti is starting at first base and batting sixth.

Should start again in Game 2 Rizzo fared well in Game 1 of the ALCS against the Guardians and is expected to be in the starting lineup Tuesday for Game 2, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Impact Rizzo picked up a single and drew a walk in Monday's series opener, and skipper Aaron Boone noted after the game that he pulled the veteran first baseman after he seemed emotionally drained, per Hoch. The training staff will likely check on Rizzo again Tuesday morning, but all signs point to Rizzo being back in the starting nine for Tuesday's clash.
