The Yankees opted not to place Rizzo (fractured finger) on the injured list Sunday in order to keep the possibility alive that he could be an option for the ALDS, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Rizzo's availability will reportedly depend on pain tolerance. Ben Rice was recalled to start at first base Sunday in Rizzo's place, and the rookie could replace him on the postseason roster if the veteran first baseman can't give it a go.
