Rice (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Rice will be on the bench for the third game in a row after suffering a left hand contusion while attempting to a field a low pickoff throw during Sunday's 11-3 win over the Orioles. Per MLB.com, Rice had been slated to attempt to hit Tuesday as a test for his injured hand, but the Yankees haven't revealed how he fared during that workout. At this stage, Rice is seemingly being treated as day-to-day, with manager Aaron Boone telling Bryan Hoch of MLB.com that "it doesn't look like an IL" situation for the 27-year-old first baseman.
