6 months agoJoel Sherman of the New York Post has reported that the New York Yankees will promote catcher/first baseman Ben Rice to replace first baseman Anthony Rizzo (arm). Rizzo was diagnosed with a fractured right arm following Sunday's game and is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks. Per MLB Pipeline, Rice is the Yankees No. 12 prospect. Rice is traditionally a catcher, but can also play first base, which will likely be where he plays for now. The 25-year-old opened the season in Double-A Somerset before being promoted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Between both stops, Rice hit a combined .275 with 15 homers, 36 RBI and 9 nine stolen bases. It is unknown how much playing time Rice will get right away, but he is worth a speculative add in deeper leagues with his ability to offer pop and speed in a favorable home ballpark for the left-handed hitter.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
