The New York Yankees find themselves in a precarious situation with their first base after their starting player, Anthony Rizzo, was put on the injured list due to a concussion he sustained earlier this season. Initially attributing his symptoms of fatigue and fogginess to the grueling regular-season schedule, the severity of his symptoms prompted the Yankees’ medical team to take note and mandate rest in hopes of their dissipation.
As Rizzo takes time off, DJ LeMahieu and Jake Bauers step up to the plate to hold down the fort. However, speculation arises whether the Yankees might look to an old friend to reinforce the first base for the rest of the season.
