Yankees: The Reason Behind Rizzo’s Injuries and the Status of His Rehabilitation
The New York Post’s Jon Heyman reports that Rizzo’s representative provided Yankees fans with an update, saying in brief:
Agent Ryan Gleichowski reports that Anthony Rizzo, who had a fantastic start to the season before slumping and then resting due to a concussion, is doing “great.”
During the Yankees’ game on May 28, the player collided with Fernando Tatis Jr., a star for the San Diego Padres, which resulted in the concussion. Rizzo was trying to tag Tatis Jr. out, but he was retreating back to first base. While Rizzo was crouching, Tatis Jr. struck his head, giving him serious whiplash.
Rizzo staggered toward second base before taking a knee and was shaken up by the injury for a considerable amount of time. He was shut down on Sept. 5 as grogginess resurfaced. Now, the good news from his agent gives promise that the star 1B will be ready for Spring training next year.

Rizzo was on pace for roughly 20 home runs and 67 RBIs had he played the full 162-game schedule. He did, however, post his highest strikeout percentage since his rookie season. He’ll look to return to All-Star caliber form in an upcoming year filled with pressure and expectations for the Yankees to return to championship contention.
