Around the Empire: Yankees news - 8/6/21

New York Daily News | Kristie Ackert: Anthony Rizzo is the toast of New York — and will be featured in this post in a moment — after his first week with the Yankees saw him post an OPS north of 1.300. Meanwhile, the guy who led MLB in home runs just last year has struggled with injury all season, and even though Luke Voit homered on Wednesday night in a rehab start, it’s hard to see a role for him on the major league club. The Yankees will have to make a decision on him soon, whether that’s a creative MLB lineup or optioning him to Triple-A, but if Voit is healthy, we’ve seen that he can hit with the best.
