The New York Yankees finally found a reason for Anthony Rizzo's struggles the past two months. The team placed Rizzo on the Injured List on Thursday due to a concussion he may have sustained at the end of May.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Rizzo complained about being"foggy" in recent days, prompting the team to send him for additional testing. Those tests showed"some cognitive impairment," leading to Rizzo's stint on the Injured List.
Anthony Rizzo is going on the IL with a "likely" concussion that can be traced back to his collision with Fernando Tatis Jr. back in May "He went through MLB, all the testing immediately [after the Tatis collision]. Of late, started to complain [about] being foggy"
