Latest timeline on Anthony Rizzo’s return to Yankees from broken forearm: ‘Shocked’
NY Post
Anthony Rizzo said he was “shocked” when he found out he had suffered a fractured right forearm after a collision at first base while trying to beat out a grounder Sunday in Boston.
The first baseman said he was fully confident he’d return this season and the Yankees announced it would be roughly eight weeks until he can play in games.
Rizzo added the injury would cause “probably at least four to five weeks with no activity.”
That timeline would bring Rizzo to roughly mid-August.
The injury is another blow to Rizzo, who turns 35 in August and has been hard-hit by injuries each of the last two seasons.
This year, though, he’d been relatively healthy — but unproductive.

Edwin Diaz explained his decision to leave the Mets for the Dodgers. The closer headed west for a three-year, $69 million contract with the two-time defending World Series Champions over the same terms and $3 million fewer with the Mets — who reportedly “had some wiggle room” on their initial offer.But it wasn’t just about the money, the 31-year-old said in his first Los Angeles press conference on Friday.
