Anthony Rizzo was trying to work through a brutal slump but now he has landed on the injured list.
The New York Yankees ’ veteran first baseman could be sidelined between four and six weeks after suffering a fractured right arm, as first reported by. Rizzo suffered the injury during the seventh inning of Sunday night’s 9-3 loss at Fenway Park when he tried to evade Boston Red Sox pitcher Brennan Bernardino, who was trying to cover first base while receiving a throw that sailed behind him from Dominic Smith.
He immediately exited the game showing severe discomfort, though initial tests at Fenway Park came up negative. However, Rizzo received further testing on Monday in New York that revealed the extent of the injury. “You don’t see that from Rizz,” Yankees slugger Aaron Judge said of his teammate showing that he was hurt, indicating the severity of things. “Usually he leads Major League Baseball in hit-by-pitches, so he’s good with dealing with pain. He’s tough.”His toughness, both physically and mentally, has been put to the test over the past year. The Yankees misdiagnosed a concussion that he suffered last season in May after he collided with San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr.
