One year after a Bronx bummer, the New York Yankees are relishing a 6-1 start

One year after a rare mediocre season tested patience in the Bronx, the New York Yankees are relishing a fast start
APRIL 4, 2024 • Associated Press
Returns to lineup Monday Rizzo (lat) is starting at designated hitter and batting cleanup for the Yankees in Monday's game against the Mets, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Rizzo had to be scratched from the lineup Friday due to some lat tightness, but he's feeling well enough to hit Monday and should be fine to play first base in Thursday's opener. The 34-year-old has looked sharp at the dish this spring, sporting a 1.189 OPS with two home runs.

Should be ready for Opening Day Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday he expects Rizzo (lat) to be available for Thursday's Opening Day matchup with the Astros, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.
Impact The veteran first baseman recently expressed confidence that he'd be available for the season opener, and Boone is now reinforcing that idea. Rizzo was scratched from Friday's spring lineup due to lat tightness, and it's not surprising the Yankees are exercising caution in the lead up to Opening Day.

Says he'll be ready Opening Day Rizzo (lat) said Friday that he's "fully confident" he'll be ready for Opening Day, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
Impact Rizzo was a late scratch from Friday's lineup with some lat tightness, which is something he said he deals with from time to time during the regular season. However, the move was made out of an abundance of caution and he's expected to be fine. Fantasy managers who draft this weekend shouldn't have trepidation about picking Rizzo.
MARCH 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Lat issue considered minor Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on the YES Network broadcast Friday that Rizzo "didn't seem too concerned" about his lat tightness, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.
Impact Rizzo was a late scratch from Friday's lineup due to the injury. Boone added that Rizzo said it's an issue which pops up on him occasionally during the season, so he just wanted to be cautious in asking out of the lineup. It would appear to be a day-to-day situation that shouldn't affect the first baseman's Opening Day availability.

Scratched Friday with tight lat Rizzo was a late scratch from the Yankees' Grapefruit League lineup Friday due to a tight lat, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Impact More specifics on the injury are not yet available, but the Yankees should have additional information on Rizzo's status after the game. The veteran first baseman has had a fantastic spring, putting up a 1.189 OPS with two home runs.

Healthy and thriving this spring Rizzo went 2-for-2 with a walk, two home runs and five RBI in Friday's Grapefruit League win over Toronto.
Impact Rizzo ended last season on the 60-day IL due to a concussion, but Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in early December that the veteran first baseman was expected to be fine for spring training. That has proven to be the case, as Rizzo has played in four Grapefruit League contests so far and is slashing .429/.600/1.429 with the pair of homers and six RBI over 10 plate appearances. Rizzo will be looking to bounce back in 2024 after playing in just 99 contests last year and posting a .706 OPS, his lowest mark since his 49-game stint as a rookie with the Padres in 2011.

Impact This tracks with what Rizzo told reporters in late September. The veteran first baseman wound up being limited to just 99 games during the 2023 season and didn't play after early August due to a concussion which he initially suffered back in late May. It sounds like Rizzo has put the issue in the rearview mirror, though, and will look to bounce back in 2024.

Expects normal offseason Rizzo (concussion) said Monday that he is feeling significantly better and expects to have a normal offseason, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Rizzo's 2023 season officially ended Sept. 12 when he was moved to the 60-day IL. He had been diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome in early August and has shown gradual improvement since then, though it wasn't enough for him to return during the current campaign. Nonetheless, Rizzo said Monday that he is feeling "a lot clearer and pretty strong," adding that he's continued to stay active during his time on the injured list. The veteran first baseman indicated that he may start his offseason training program earlier than usual due to his shortened campaign and stated that he expects to be a full-go for spring training next year.

Transferred to 60-day IL Rizzo (concussion) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Zach McAllister. Rizzo had already been ruled out for the season as he continues to recover from concussion symptoms.
