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.
