The Yankees first baseman’s balky back has made its first disruption of the year.
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Anthony Rizzo’s balky back has made its first disruption of the year.
The Yankees first baseman was originally scheduled to make the two-game road trip here on Sunday, but his back was acting up so the Yankees had him stay in Tampa instead. “His back was a little cranky,” manager Aaron Boone said before taking on the Red Sox at JetBlue Park. “But he’s good. We just decided instead of having him drive down here for these [two games], we’d rather just hold off and play him when we get home. We got that stretch of games. But he’s doing fine.”
The 33-year-old Rizzo played on Thursday against the Red Sox at Steinbrenner Field, but he began feeling something in his back in that game.Boone said Rizzo did not need to undergo any testing, but that the Yankees were just trying to stay ahead of any further issues.
