Yankees have put Anthony Rizzo on the disabled list

Due to post-concussion symptoms, the Yankees have put Anthony Rizzo on the disabled list.

More than two months after hurting 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.

Pickoff attempt collision with San Diego Padres’ Fernando Tatis Jr. on May 28 at Yankee Stadium, according to Rizzo and Yankees manager Aaron Boone.

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

According to Boone, Rizzo recently complained to the Yankees’ medical team about having brain fog. Subsequent neurological evaluations confirmed his dementia symptoms.

‘Obviously, the struggles have been real documented, and in this game, you want to figure out what’s going on whenever you’re struggling,’ Rizzo said before the Yankees’ first game of a four-game series against the Houston Astros.

“I guess at this point we can put two and two together, but over the past several weeks, you start going to the various checklists of mechanics, timing, and continuously being late.

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

According to Boone, Rizzo’s status is week to week. After taking three supplements for concussions, Rizzo can resume his normal physical activities.

According to what Rizzo was told, “it could be a week, it could be two weeks.” They have no idea. But I think it removes the anxiety of guessing altogether now. You now have information on a therapy option. Past experiences have shown that my body responds positively to that.
