Yankees Call Up Ben Rice to Replace Injured Anthony Rizzo
News summary

The New York Yankees are calling up first base prospect Ben Rice to replace Anthony Rizzo, who is expected to miss four to six weeks with a fractured right arm sustained in a collision with Boston Red Sox pitcher Brennan Bernardino. Rice, a 25-year-old from Dartmouth, has impressed in the minors this season, hitting .275 with 15 home runs and a .925 OPS across Double-A and Triple-A levels. Rizzo has struggled this season, batting .223 with a .630 OPS. The Yankees are opting to give Rice a shot at first base, rather than moving DJ LeMahieu from third base. This move could influence the Yankees' strategy ahead of the trade deadline.
