Yankees' Anthony Rizzo Suffers Fractured Fingers, Playoff Status Uncertain

Rizzo's injury complicates Yankees' postseason plans as they prepare for the ALDS starting October 5.

Anthony Rizzo fractured the fourth and fifth fingers on his right hand after being hit by a pitch during Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The injury occurred in the seventh inning, and Rizzo was replaced by Oswaldo Cabrera in the eighth inning.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated that Rizzo's availability for the playoffs will depend on his pain tolerance.
Potential replacements for Rizzo include Oswaldo Cabrera, rookie Ben Rice, and possibly DJ LeMahieu, who is currently on the injured list.
Rizzo's absence could be significant as he has been a key defensive player and contributor at the bottom of the Yankees' batting order.
