Around the Empire: Yankees news - 9/7/22

MLB Trade Rumors | Darragh McDonald: The Yankees have been without Anthony Rizzo for a good bit now, and finally they’re at least going to get something out of his roster spot. As noted, they placed Rizzo on the IL on Tuesday with headaches stemming from a recent epidural he received for his persistent back problems. In his places comes Ronald Guzmán, the former long-time Texas Ranger who has been playing in the minors for the Yankees all season. Especially with DJ LeMahieu also ailing, another first baseman was really a necessity. Guzmán is out of options, so he can’t be easily sent back down once Rizzo returns.
