Yankees Shut Down Anthony Rizzo For Remainder Of Season Due To Lingering Concussion Symptoms

  • Rizzo collided with Fernando Tatis Jr. in May, suffering a concussion.
  • His performance declined after the collision, batting just .172 with 1 home run in next 46 games.
  • He has experienced mental fogginess and cognitive issues related to post-concussion syndrome.
  • Despite recent cognitive improvements, doctors have not yet cleared him to return.
  • The Yankees are now out of playoff contention, so the decision was made to shut Rizzo down and focus on next season.
