Anthony Rizzo Set to Face Dodgers in World Series

Anthony Rizzo has been a standout performer for the New York Yankees in the postseason, despite playing with two fractured fingers on his right hand. The injury has hindered his participation earlier, but he returned for the American League Championship Series (ALCS) and hit an impressive .429, showcasing remarkable resilience and skill. The break between the ALCS and the World Series has been crucial in managing the swelling in his fingers, which flares up due to pressure, thanks to the time and treatment received. Rizzo is set to be a key player in the Yankees' lineup as they face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, drawing on his previous experience from the 2016 Cubs' championship run. His teammate Austin Wells has expressed awe at Rizzo's toughness and determination to contribute to the team's success despite his injuries.
