SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Won't return in 2023 Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Rizzo (concussion) will be shut down for the rest of the 2023 season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Impact The veteran first baseman continues to make cognitive improvements but won't be rushed back to game action this year with the Yankees eight games back of the final wild-card spot in the American League. Rizzo faced live pitching in late August for the first time since he landed on the injured list Aug. 3 with post-concussion syndrome, and he should continue working through his rehab program even though he won't be back in the lineup in 2023. The 34-year-old is under contract for 2024 at $17 million and will have over six months to prepare for the start of spring training.

Yankees' Anthony Rizzo's disclosure gives another major-leaguer hope First baseman's honesty and transparency is helping others
SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • NJ.COM
Faces live pitching Rizzo (concussion) took live at-bats at the Yankees' complex in Florida on Saturday, per MLB.com.
Impact This was Rizzo's first time stepping in against live pitching since he went on the injured list with post-concussion syndrome Aug. 3. The veteran first baseman had recently advanced to hitting drills, and he appears to be working toward a return to the Yankees before the end of the campaign. Manager Aaron Boone indicated that Rizzo came away from Saturday's session well and has said that the slugger's status is "week-to-week."
AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Advances to batting practice Rizzo (concussion) took batting practice on the field both Wednesday and Thursday, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact Rizzo reported Wednesday that he is feeling good about his progress after being diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome in early August. The veteran slugger is working toward a return, though his status is still considered week-to-week. The Yankees have lost 10 of 11 contests to fall 10 games out of a wild-card spot, but the organization appears willing to be patient with Rizzo and not rush his return.
AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Showing improvement Rizzo (concussion) has been feeling better and showing improved reaction times, and he hit in a batting cage Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Rizzo landed on the injured list Aug. 3 due to post-concussion syndrome, and an initial timeline for a return was uncertain. Though it's still not clear when the first baseman may return to the field, he's at least confident that he will be back this season. Rizzo said Thursday that recent tests have shown that he's improving, explaining that "all signs are pointing towards quicker, faster, sharper [reaction times]." The veteran added that he hopes to be playing within the next few weeks, stating, "it's about getting back as fast as possible -- obviously as healthy as possible -- but no, shutting down, for me, is not an option, and it hasn't been discussed."

Set for more tests Rizzo (concussion) will undergo tests Tuesday in New York, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
Impact It was reported Friday that Rizzo was close to resuming baseball activities, and the exams he is set to take could reveal whether or not he is ready to do so. Rizzo, per the report, "feels like he is progressing," but it was also noted that he has only done "some light agility in the outfield and walked at an incline on the treadmill."

Yankees' Anthony Rizzo showing signs of progress post-concussion MIAMI — Anthony Rizzo is showing signs of progress after the Yankees placed him on the injured list with post-concussion syndrome on Aug. 3.
AUGUST 12, 2023 • CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.COM
Nearing baseball activities Rizzo (head) said Friday that he is aiming to ramp up his baseball activities within the next week, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Rizzo was placed on the injured list last Thursday due to post-concussion syndrome, stemming from a collision with Fernando Tatis back in late May. He has already played some catch and said he's been performing better in his concussion protocol tests. There's no exact timetable for Rizzo's return to the Yankees' active roster, but the veteran first baseman seems to be moving in an encouraging direction.
