New York Yankees fans react to Anthony Rizzo being scratched from lineup due to back issues: "Can't believe we re-signed him" "Make it stop please"

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo didn't make the trip with the team to Fort Myers to play against the Boston Red Sox. The veteran stayed back as he was dealing with some back issues.Rizzo's back has given him some problems in the past. He missed 20 games last season because of it, and needed an epidural shot to be ready for the postseason.Bryan Hoch@BryanHochAnthony Rizzo (back) was scratched from the Fort Myers trip.

Aaron Boone said that Rizzo’s back is “cranky” but expects him to play Tuesday. Said it’s “something we wanted to stay ahead of.”Despite that, Rizzo and the Yankees signed a two-year, $40 million deal over the winter. As such, it makes sense not to push him this early. They need him to be in the lineup more often than not if they want to have a successful 2023 season.Staying ahead of these little injuries is going to be vital. When he's on the field, he's a force. Last season, Rizzo hit .224/.338/.480 with 32 home runs (tied for a career-high in home runs) and 75 RBIs.New York Yankees fans, however, are tired of their team putting their faith in players with an injury history. The team knew Anthony Rizzo would be dealing with back issues again this season and still signed him to a two-year deal.&quot;Can't believe we re-signed him.
