The Yankees announced today the recall of first baseman Ben Rice from Triple-A, following Anthony Rizzo's injury, suggesting Rice may start in the playoffs.
After struggling after his initial success, Ben Rice found his rhythm again in the minors, showcasing prowess at the plate that makes him a key playoff option.
Rice's prior performance included a notable three-homer game against the Red Sox, leading to an impressive start before his recent slump.
With Rizzo's status uncertain, Rice's strong minor league display over September has positioned him as the frontrunner for the playoff first base role.
