Anthony Rizzo Cleared From Concussion
11 months agoNew York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that first baseman Anthony Rizzo (concussion) is currently cleared from the concussion he suffered last year and that doctors aren't concerned about symptoms returning. Rizzo was probably fine to play in games at the end of the regular season, but the Yankees weren't going to put him in harm's way with their chance at the playoffs already over. The left-handed slugger was limited to 99 games because of his head injury last year, and he didn't play after August. The 34-year-old veteran played through the concussion before eventually being shut down, too, and he finished with a .244 average (91-for-373) with only 12 home runs and 41 RBI. If Rizzo's concussion issues are truly behind him, he could be a decent late-round value pick in a Yankees lineup that should be stronger in 2024.
