Overview

• Ben Rice sustained a left elbow contusion on April 19 after being hit by an 88 mph slider during the Yankees' game against the Rays.
• X-rays and a CT scan conducted at St. Joseph’s Hospital confirmed no fractures, providing relief to Rice and the team.
• Rice remains day-to-day with lingering soreness and swelling, and his status for the Cleveland Guardians series is undecided.
• In Rice’s absence, the Yankees adjusted their lineup by moving Aaron Judge to designated hitter and starting Trent Grisham in center field.
• Rice has been a key contributor in Giancarlo Stanton’s absence, batting .292 with a 1.003 OPS over 19 games this season.
