WASHINGTON — Anthony Rizzo advanced to playing first base earlier than expected Tuesday night, starting in the field for the first time in the third game of his rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset
.
But he was a late switch from DH on Tuesday after apparently proving he was ready for the field, playing four innings at first base and going 2-for-2 with a home run.Manager Aaron Boone had said Friday that Rizzo wouldn’t need “that much time playing the field,” but his rehab assignment was more about getting regular at-bats after being out since mid-June.
“ playing against lefties,” Boone said. “But the other guy’s really good, too. Trevy’s an All-Star-level catcher. He’s going to play some, too. I feel like we’re just in great hands with the position.” If he comes out of it well, he could be in line to make a rehab start this weekend before potentially returning next week.Anthony Volpe catches the ball in front of James Wood at second base during the first inning of the Yankees’ 4-2 loss to Nationals on Aug. 27, 2024.After taking a knee to the head Monday night while diving into second base, Anthony Volpe was back in the lineup Tuesday, as was Alex Verdugo, who slammed into the wall to make a catch.
