ANTHONY RIZZO NEWS

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.

Starting at first base in Game 1 Rizzo will start at first base and bat eighth Monday in Game 1 of the ALCS versus the Guardians.

Impact Rizzo missed the ALDS after fracturing two fingers on his right hand when he was hit by a pitch in the penultimate game of the regular season. It's fair to assume he's operating at less than 100 percent given the incident occurred just over two weeks ago, but he's feeling well enough to give it a shot as the Yankees' regular first baseman.

Included on ALCS roster Rizzo (fingers) is on the Yankees' roster for the ALCS against the Guardians.

Impact Rizzo suffered two fractured fingers on his right hand during the second-to-last game of the regular season, but he has been cleared for game action barely more than two weeks after the incident. The 35-year-old will regain his starting job at first base, shifting Oswaldo Cabrera and Jon Berti to bench roles.

Could return for ALCS Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Rizzo (finger) could be on New York's ALCS roster, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Impact Rizzo fractured two fingers on his right hand late in the regular season and wasn't part of the Yankees' roster for their ALDS victory versus Kansas City. He resumed baseball activities in early October and is set to ramp up further Sunday, per Boone, but his inclusion on the ALCS roster is far from a certainty. If he does return for the series against the Guardians, he would likely take over the starting role at first base, which was handled twice each by Oswaldo Cabrera and Jon Berti during the ALDS.

Not part of ALDS roster Rizzo (finger) will not be on the Yankees' ALDS roster against the Royals, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rizzo admitted Friday that he hadn't progressed far enough in his recovery program to contribute at a high level, though he did express optimism that he could return should the Yankees make it to the ALCS, per Meredith Marakovits of YES Network. Two of Rizzo's fingers on his right hand were fractured after being hit by a pitch in the penultimate game of the regular season, and he has yet to resume baseball activities, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Ben Rice will serve as the Yankees' first baseman for the ALDS.

Yet to resume baseball activities Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Thursday that Rizzo (fingers) has yet to resume baseball activities, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rizzo suffered two fractured fingers on his right hand when he was hit by a pitch in the penultimate game of the regular season. He remains a long shot to be included on the ALDS roster, but the ALCS would seemingly be more realistic if the Yankees are able to advance. Ben Rice and Oswaldo Cabrera are likely to handle first base for the ALDS, with DJ LeMahieu (hip) potentially in the mix if he can get cleared.

Unlikely to play in ALDS Rizzon (fractured finger) is not expected to be available for the ALDS, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Rizzo is viewed as a "long shot" to be available for the Yankees' first series of the postseason according to manager Aaron Boone. The first baseman suffered a fractured finger in Saturday's 9-4 loss to Pittsburgh and if he's unavailable, Ben Rice will likely remain with the team to open the postseason.

Impact Rizzo suffered the injury after getting hit in the hand by a pitch during the seventh inning. Manager Aaron Boone said after the game that Rizzo's injury doesn't necessarily rule him out for the start of New York's playoff run, and the first baseman's availability will depend on pain tolerance. That being said, it's likely he sits out Sunday's season finale.
