Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo will miss the remainder of the season with post-concussion syndrome.
New York initially said Rizzo had a stiff neck. He sat out a three-game series in Seattle before returning to the lineup June 2 at Dodger Stadium, but the three-time All-Star then went into an extended tailspin at the plate.
Prior to the game against the Padres, he was hitting .304 with 11 home runs in 204 at-bats for a Yankees team that’s fallen out of the playoff race since and into last place in the AL East. “I think he’s in a good place and I think the doctors and he have seen the progress they wanted to see. So I feel like he’s encouraged by where’s at,” Boone said. “We’ll probably throttle back on some of the baseball activity just because there’s no need now. But I was in the gym with him earlier and he’s getting after it. He’s doing well.”
