Anthony Rizzo Progressing, But Not Ready To Hit
9 months agoNew York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo (head) has been running and playing catch while he recovers from a concussion. The 34-year-old is aiming to ramp up baseball activities within the next week. While Rizzo is taking steps toward a return, he hasn't resumed hitting and remains in a week-to-week situation. The left-handed slugger was forced to the injured list on Aug. 3 with post-concussion syndrome and the Yankees remain hopeful he will return this year. Fantasy managers may have a hard time letting go, but Rizzo may not represent the strongest of stashes after slashing a feeble .172/.271/.225 with one home run, six doubles, and nine RBI in 192 plate appearances over 46 games since the calendar flipped to June.
