Rizzo will sit Saturday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Rizzo missed the last three games of May while dealing with a neck issue. He's since returned to start the first seven games of June but went 1-for-27 at the plate, a slump which could indicate that he's not yet back to full health. DJ LeMahieu starts at first base Saturday.

Rizzo (neck) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Mariners.

Rizzo (neck) took early batting practice and fielded grounders pregame Wednesday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees have not yet released their lineup for Wednesday's tilt in Seattle, but it would seem as though Rizzo has a good chance to be in there as long as he comes out of his pregame workout with no issues. He's missed the last two games with a stiff neck.

Rizzo (neck) will remain out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in an interview on the Talkin' Yanks podcast.

EDGE Analysis

The team had initially expressed confidence Rizzo wouldn't miss any starts after he exited Sunday's game versus the Padres with a neck injury, but he'll now be out of the lineup for a second straight day. Boone didn't reveal what his full lineup would be, so it's not yet clear who will be playing first base in Rizzo's place.

Rizzo (neck) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rizzo exited Sunday's win over the Padres with a neck injury he suffered in a collision with Fernando Tatis at first base on a pickoff attempt. While he had been expected to start Monday, the Yankees have ultimately elected to sit him. DJ LeMahieu will play first base and Oswaldo Cabrera will be at third.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after Sunday's 10-7 win over the Padres that he anticipates Rizzo (neck) being able to play Monday in Seattle, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rizzo hurt his neck after colliding with Fernando Tatis on a pickoff attempt at first base in the top of the sixth inning, but the former was initially able to stay in the game before exiting the contest when the Yankees returned to the field in the top of the seventh. Boone indicated that initial tests on Rizzo revealed nothing concerning, supporting the notion that the 33-year-old's removal from the contest was precautionary. Rizzo went 1-for-3 with a run scored prior to his exit.

Rizzo was removed ahead of the seventh inning of Sunday's game against the Padres after he injured his neck when he was involved in a collision with Fernando Tatis on a pickoff attempt at first base in the top of the sixth, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. He went 1-for-3 with a run scored before departing.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees are labeling Rizzo's removal from the contest as "precautionary," but fantasy managers may still want to see him included in the starting nine for Monday's game in Seattle before feeling comfortable with activating him as New York heads into a six-game week. DJ LeMahieu moved across the diamond to replace Rizzo and would likely serve as the Yankees' primary first baseman if Rizzo misses any time beyond Sunday.

Rizzo went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI in Tuesday's extra-inning victory against Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

He's on pace for one of his best campaigns at the plate, slashing .310/.388/.533 with 11 long balls, 29 RBI and 30 runs through 209 plate appearances.
