SEATTLE -- Anthony Rizzo was held out of the New York Yankees' lineup Monday night for their series opener against the Seattle Mariners a day after injuring his neck.
The veteran first baseman was hurt in the sixth inning Sunday while making a catch at first base to successfully pick off San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. Rizzo later left the game for what the team dubbed precautionary reasons.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after the game that Rizzo was "fine" after going through some tests.
