Oswaldo Cabrera looked like a seasoned pro at the spot in Saturday’s victory over Kansas City — thanks, in large part, to Anthony Rizzo.
When Anthony Rizzo returned Sept. 1 from the fractured forearm that cost him over two months, the Yankees hoped his glove and left-handed bat in the lineup would help, especially in the playoffs.So far, two fractured fingers have prevented Rizzo from playing in the playoffs, with the first baseman out until at least the next round if the Yankees advance.
Defensive metrics have typically not been kind to Rizzo over the years, but there’s no denying his knack for picking balls out of the dirt and making good decisions.That was very apparent upon his return after the inexperienced Rice, as well as DJ LeMahieu, were forced to play more of the position than they ever had during Rizzo’s absence.
Cabrera spent most of the first two months of the season at third before settling into more of his typical utility role, but he is ready to play first as much as necessary this time of year.
