Rice is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
Rice has slumped to a .152/.255/.348 slash line since the All-Star break and will give way Sunday to DJ LeMahieu, who will draw another start at first base after breaking out of his season-long swoon at the plate by going 2-for-4 with a home run and six RBI while filling in for Rice in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Phillies. Though the lefty-hitting Rice is on the bench against a right-hander (Yariel Rodriguez) on Sunday, Rodriguez sports reverse splits for the season, which likely factored into the Yankees' decision to hold Rice out of the lineup.
