"He's still under doctor's orders to rest" - New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone shares update on Anthony Rizzo as slugger heads to IL

The New York Yankees announced several roster moves this afternoon as the team continues a critical series against the Minnesota Twins. Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced that first baseman Anthony Rizzo is heading to the Injury List. Boone spoke about what Rizzo has been dealing with and the reasons to go on the IL.

"Aaron Boone says Anthony Rizzo's upcoming IL stint has more to do with headaches rather than his back: 'He's still under doctor's orders to rest'" - Yankees Videos

Rizzo has not played for the Yankees since August 31 as he has dealt with back problems from time to time this season.

Due to Rizzo going on the IL, the Yankees also announced the promotion of first baseman Ronald Guzman from Triple-A. In 90 games in Triple-A, Guzman has batted .260 with 12 home runs and a .823 OPS.

"Anthony Rizzo will be going on the IL, Aaron Boone says. Ronald Guzman will be added to the active roster tomorrow." - Lindsey Adler

The Yankees have several players that are currently on the Injury List that have been major contributors in 2022. These include Anthony Rizzo, Andrew Benintendi, Scott Effross, Albert Abreu, Nestor Cortes, Aroldis Chapman, Luis Severeno, and Matt Carpenter.

With the division lead in the AL East down to five games, getting these players back healthy will be critical.
