Anthony Rizzo: Club option declined
The Yankees declined Anthony Rizzo's $17 million club option for 2025 on Saturday.Rizzo slashed just .228/.301/.335 with 35 RBI across 375 plate appearances in 2024 -- his worst season at the plate since his rookie year with the Padres in 2011. Despite his significant drop in production, the 35-year-old first baseman should still be able to attract some attention in the open market, though he likely won't receive anything close to the $17 million average annual salary he'd been getting from New York.

Yankees' Anthony Rizzo: Downtime helping injured fingers
Anthony Rizzo said Wednesday that the time off between the ALCS and World Series has allowed swelling in his fractured fingers to subside, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.The two fractured fingers on Rizzo's right hand have not yet fully healed, which led to the digits swelling up between ALCS contests. However, the five days off between the ALCS and World Series has, unsurprisingly, been beneficial for the first baseman. Rizzo will likely still have to play through some discomfort against the Dodgers, but he'll be the New York Yankees' primary first baseman during the Fall Classic.

Yankees' Anthony Rizzo: Should start again in Game 2
Anthony Rizzo fared well in Game 1 of the ALCS against the Guardians and is expected to be in the starting lineup Tuesday for Game 2, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.Rizzo picked up a single and drew a walk in Monday's series opener, and skipper Aaron Boone noted after the game that he pulled the veteran first baseman after he seemed emotionally drained, per Hoch. Rizzo suffered two fractured fingers on his right hand during the penultimate game of the regular season. The training staff will likely check on Rizzo again Tuesday morning, but all signs point to him being back in the starting nine for Tuesday's clash.

Yankees' Anthony Rizzo: Starting at first base in Game 1
Anthony Rizzo will start at first base and bat eighth Monday in Game 1 of the ALCS versus the Guardians.Rizzo missed the ALDS after fracturing two fingers on his right hand when he was hit by a pitch in the penultimate game of the regular season. It's fair to assume he's operating at less than 100 percent given the incident occurred just over two weeks ago, but he's feeling well enough to give it a shot as the New York Yankees' regular first baseman.

Yankees' Anthony Rizzo: Could return for ALCS
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Anthony Rizzo (finger) could be on New York's ALCS roster, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.Rizzo fractured two fingers on his right hand late in the regular season and wasn't part of the Yankees' roster for their ALDS victory versus Kansas City. He resumed baseball activities in early October and is set to ramp up further Sunday, per Boone, but his inclusion on the ALCS roster is far from a certainty. If he does return for the series against the Guardians, he would likely take over the starting role at first base, which was handled twice each by Oswaldo Cabrera and Jon Berti during the ALDS.

Yankees' Anthony Rizzo: Unlikely to play in ALDS
Rizzon (fractured finger) is not expected to be available for the ALDS, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.Anthony Rizzo is viewed as a "long shot" to be available for the New York Yankees' first series of the postseason according to manager Aaron Boone.
