Anthony Rizzo ‘in some pain’ with lower-arm injury after collision in Yankees injury scare

BOSTON — The Yankees left Fenway Park on Sunday night holding their breath for Anthony Rizzo.

The veteran left the 9-3 loss to the Red Sox in the seventh inning after a collision at first base that resulted in what the Yankees termed as a “right lower-arm injury.”

An initial fluoroscope, which manager Aaron Boone described as a low-grade X-ray, was negative, but Rizzo is set to undergo more testing on Monday in New York.

“He’s in some pain, that kind of lower arm, in a number of places,” Boone said.

Rizzo was hustling down the line to beat out a ground ball when he collided with Red Sox reliever Brennan Bernardino, who was covering first base and dropped the flip from Dominic Smith in the process.

Bernardino was backing into the bag and his left elbow made contact with Rizzo’s left hip, sending Rizzo into a tumble on which he appeared to jam and/or land on his right wrist.
