Rizzo was removed from Saturday's game against the Pirates after getting hit in the hand by a pitch, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Rizzo took an 88-mph slider off his right hand during the seventh inning. He initially remained in the game to run the bases but was replaced on defense once New York took the field to begin the eighth. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but if he ends up having to miss Sunday's season finale, Oswaldo Cabrera would likely be the next man up to start at first base for the Yankees.
