Rizzo said his back had improved, but he wasn’t available as a pinch-hitter in the 12-9 loss to the Cardinals.
ST. LOUIS — Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo sat for a third consecutive game Sunday due to lower-back tightness. 12-9 loss to the CardinalsIf not, that would match the number of games Rizzo missed last month, when he experienced a similar issue with his back.
Hicks reached base four times in his second three-hit game of the season. He had an RBI single and scored in the second, hit an infield single in the third, walked and scored in the fifth and singled again in the sixth. Boone said he explained the situation to the right-hander. He told Marinaccio that there were no other alternatives because other pitchers, such as Clarke Schmidt, for instance, could not be sent down without first being put on waivers. “They also understand we’re not in a position right now to be getting rid of pitchers to make room [on the roster],’’ Boone said. “Unfortunately for them, it’s the point in their careers they have [minor league] options.
