Ben Rice Not Starting On Sunday
26 seconds agoNew York Yankees first baseman Ben Rice (elbow) is not in Sunday's lineup when the Yankees conclude a series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Rice was removed from Saturday's contest after being hit by a pitch in his elbow. After the contest, Rice underwent imaging, but the results were negative. Fantasy managers should continue to view Rice as day-to-day as he may be cleared to return on Monday when they start a series against the Cleveland Guardians. Rice has enjoyed an impressive start to the campaign, holding a .292/.403/.600 slash line with three doubles, one triple, and five long balls. He has tallied nine RBI and held an 18:10 K:BB. The 26-year-old has generated an impressive .477 xwOBA, .337 xBA, and a .696 xSLG, which are well above the average marks. On Sunday, Aaron Judge will shift to the DH spot. If Rice were to remain out on Monday, Judge will likely continue to operate as the team's designated hitter.
