More than two months after injuring his neck on a pickoff play, New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo was placed on the injured list on Thursday with post-concussion syndrome.

Both Rizzo and Yankees manager Aaron Boone have speculated that Rizzo’s collision with Fernando Tatis Jr. of the San Diego Padres on a pickoff attempt on May 28 at Yankee Stadium is to blame for the ιnjury.

Rizzo has batted just.172 with one home run in 169 at-bats since the incident, despite passing MLB’s concussion tests. Rizzo was batting.304 with 11 home runs in 204 at-bats after the game against the Padres.

Recently, Rizzo complained to the Yankees’ medical team about feeling hazy, according to Boone. Cognitive impairment was later discovered through neurological testing.

When asked about the Yankees’ recent troubles, Rizzo replied, “Obviously, the struggles have been real documented, and in this game, you try to figure out what is going on whenever you’re struggling.” The Yankees and the Houston Astros are set to begin a four-game series on Monday.

Now that the pieces are in place, it’s easy to see how over the past few weeks, you’ve been referring to various checklists on mechanics, timing, and chronic tardiness.

“Why do I keep getting late?” This is a change I’ve made many times in my career; I didn’t suddenly forget how.

According to Boone, Rizzo’s status is “week to week.” Rizzo is permitted to engage in physical exercise so long as he takes three supplements intended to treat concussions.

According to Rizzo, “they said it could be a week, it could be two weeks.” They’re in the dark. However, I no longer feel the need to obsess over the unknown. You now have information on a therapy option. Past experiences have shown that my body responds positively to that.
