Anthony Rizzo Has Tightness In His Back
4 years agoChicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) didn't take part in Tuesday night's intrasquad game because of tightness in his lower back. Rizzo's back has been a problem before for short periods of time at this time of the year, but the Cubs are just being cautious here with their All-Star first baseman. Consider him day-to-day for now. Rizzo does a lot of things really well as a first baseman and contributes across the board for fantasy owners, but he has never hit 40 home runs in a single season and hasn't hit the 30-homer mark since 2017. The three-time All-Star remains a safe selection as a top-10 first baseman, but he just doesn't have that power upside that many were chasing in years past.
