Yankees Shut Down Anthony Rizzo For Remainder Of Season Due To Lingering Concussion Symptoms
- Rizzo collided with Fernando Tatis Jr. in May, suffering a concussion.
- His performance declined after the collision, batting just .172 with 1 home run in next 46 games.
- He has experienced mental fogginess and cognitive issues related to post-concussion syndrome.
- Despite recent cognitive improvements, doctors have not yet cleared him to return.
- The Yankees are now out of playoff contention, so the decision was made to shut Rizzo down and focus on next season.
