Ben Rice Remains Sidelined on Tuesday With Hand Injury
New York Yankees first baseman Ben Rice (hand) remains on the bench for Tuesday's contest in the Bronx against the visiting Texas Rangers, per MLB.com. Paul Goldschmidt is starting at first base for the Yankees and will bat sixth against Rangers veteran right-hander Jacob deGrom. Rice will miss a second straight game after suffering a hand contusion in Sunday's game. The injury doesn't appear to be very serious in nature, so fantasy managers should check back to see if the left-handed slugger is ready to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game against Texas. The 27-year-old former 12th-rounder in 2021 out of Dartmouth College is proving to be one of the best all-around hitters in the game after his breakout in 2025. Through 108 at-bats in 2026, Rice is hitting an impressive .343 with 12 long balls, 27 RBI, 30 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 33 games played. He leads the league in average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS (1.214), and rOBA (.508). Goldschmidt is an easy fade in DFS against a dominant right-hander whom he's hit .125 against with an RBI and a .347 OPS against in eight career at-bats.
