Anthony Rizzo has yet to resume baseball activities, per Brian Cashman, meaning the New York Yankees will have to sort through other options at first base at the start of their postseason run.
With the Game 1 of the ALDS two days away, New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo is still a way's off from returning to the lineup.
"He's gonna be trying to beat the turnaround time, typically, for that," Cashman said. "But as I said, you treat the patient, not necessarily the MRI or the X-ray.

Let's talk further about this down the line as we get closer to having to make the final decision.
Still, Rizzo is one of just two players on the Yankees' roster with a World Series ring, helping to take the Chicago Cubs all the way in 2016. In 49 career postseason appearances, Rizzo is a .218 hitter with nine home runs, 27 RBI and a .724 OPS, totaling a 31.4% Championship Win Probability Added in those games.
