Yankees First Baseman Ben Rice Exits vs. Orioles with Bruised Left Hand

Rice left after a third-inning pickoff play, and the Yankees said X-rays were negative as he was listed day-to-day.

  • New York Yankees first baseman Ben Rice exited Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles after hitting his 12th home run and sustaining a hand injury in the third inning.
  • During a third-inning pickoff attempt by Max Fried, pitcher, Rice sustained the injury while fielding; he grimaced but remained in the game to double and score.
  • Rice has 27 RBIs in 33 games this season, including 25 starts at first base, establishing himself as a force in the Yankees lineup.
  • The Yankees announced Rice sustained a "left hand contusion" and is "day-to-day" after negative X-rays; Paul Goldschmidt, first baseman, replaced him in the field.
  • Losing Rice would challenge the Yankees, who placed Giancarlo Stanton on the injured list last week; the team remains hopeful for a quick recovery.
