The 2023 season has proven to be challenging for the New York Yankees thus far. They managed to halt a four-game losing streak on Tuesday with a victory over the Cleveland Guardians. However, the reality is that they have struggled with depth issues and are currently at the bottom of the AL East standings with a 16-15 record.
First baseman Anthony Rizzo has played a significant role in many of those victories. He has been the best and most consistent position player on the Yankees this year, ranking as one of the most valuable players alongside ace Gerrit Cole.
