2024 Fantasy Outlook
Given that he missed the final two months of the 2023 season due to post-concussion syndrome, Rizzo's draft-day cost is going to vary widely from league to league in 2024. The concussion happened during an awkward collision with Fernando Tatis in May -- three months before Rizzo was actually placed on the IL -- and he later acknowledged that he was having trouble seeing the ball for much of the summer. That shows in his game logs, as he slashed just .170/.271/.224 with one home run in 188 plate appearances between the beginning of June and the end of July. He suffered through a five-strikeout game July 30 at Baltimore, a few days before mercifully being shut down. While it was an ugly ordeal, durability is usually one of Rizzo's best skills and he can hopefully put last year in the rearview with a reinvigorating kind of opportunity to feast in the heart of the Yankees' beefed-up batting order. He won't be a consensus top-150 pick again but could certainly return that kind of value. Read Past Outlooks
Out of Sunday's lineup
Rizzo is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
ANALYSIS
Rizzo started the previous 10 games but will hit the bench Sunday after going 5-for-33 with one double and four walks during that span. Oswaldo Cabrera will take over at first base and bat eighth in the series finale versus Boston.

Likely by design to take advantage of the short right field porch in Yankee Stadium, Rizzo hit flyballs at a career high 49% clip. It worked as he pulled 16 of his 32 long balls into the right field seats in the Bronx, though Rizzo's 18.4% strikeout rate was its highest since 2014. More flyballs helped sink Rizzo's BABIP to .216, the lowest mark of his career, though the resulting power fueled a 132 wRC+, his best since 2019. Rizzo's contact and hard-hit rates remain solid, but he's approaching the age where skills start to decline. He re-upped with the Yankees on a two-year deal with a buyout/club option for a third year, so the short porch will once again be a bullseye. The elephant in the room is Rizzo has been one of the most shifted players and with the new rules, he could benefit. A buying opportunity exists if the room is ignoring this, but it's unwise to anticipate a huge difference.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Hopes to retire in pinstripes
RIzzo said last Friday that he "really hope[s] to retire as a Yankee," reports Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The veteran first baseman returned from the injured list at the start of September after being sidelined two and a half months due to a forearm fracture, but he's hitting .176 in 11 games since his activation and now has a .617 OPS for the season. Rizzo has a $17 million club option for 2025, but the Yankees are sure to instead pay the $6 million buyout. Rizzo may need to retire this offseason to have a realistic chance of actually finishing his career with the Yankees, though it's unclear if he'll consider hanging up his cleats after the worst season of his MLB career since his 49-game rookie campaign with the Padres in 2011.
