<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-rizzo">Anthony Rizzo</a> served as the Yankees’ first baseman in the World Series, bringing previous experience to the high-stakes stage — <strong>but it was his first time doing so in a Bronx Bombers jersey</strong>. After his team’s elimination in Game 5, Rizzo shared how meaningful it was to wear the iconic pinstripes.</p>



<p>Following the game, a reporter asked Rizzo how difficult it was to exit the World Series this way, knowing he’d had high hopes with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees">Yankees</a>. Rizzo began his response with, <strong><em>“It’s heartbreaking,”</em></strong> emphasizing that the feeling extended to the entire team.</p>



<p><em>“It’s heartbreaking for this group, just because of how close you have to come together, as one, as a brotherhood, to get to this point… <strong>to wear this jersey is something special that I wish every baseball player gets to feel because it’s a different feeling wearing this jersey</strong>. I’ve loved every second of it.”</em></p>



<p>Rizzo played a part in the errors that led to the Yankees’ Game 5 collapse. <strong>The misplay at first base involving him and Gerrit Cole in the fifth inning was seen as the start of the unraveling</strong>, which ultimately cost the Yankees their 5-0 lead.</p>

<h2>Rizzo Hopes to Return Next Year</h2>



<p>In his remarks after the Game 5 loss to the Dodgers, Rizzo hinted at his desire to play another season with the Yankees, saying, <strong><em>“I feel like I have a lot left to offer in this game in a lot of different ways. I don’t want to take this off.” </em></strong>However, he acknowledged that things would inevitably change, and the roster might not include the same faces next year.</p>

<p><em>“After every year, that’s it. That’s the last time you’ll ever be with that exact team, these exact people in this moment.”</em> Rizzo recognized that some of his Yankees teammates might leave unless they receive new contracts, <strong>including players like Alex Verdugo, Juan Soto, and Gleyber Torres.</strong></p>

<p>If there’s one player who came away with <strong>high spirits after the home loss that put the Yankees down 0-3 in the World Series, it was Rizzo</strong>. He wasted no time revealing the team’s mindset for Game 4 against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Dodgers</a>.</p>



<p><em>“I don’t see us just laying down tomorrow.<strong> I expect us to show up and be ready to go and just win one game</strong>; that’s our mentality.”</em> He added that it wouldn’t be easy to get a win but that they would find inspiration somewhere for the game.</p>



<p><em>“It’s not gonna be easy. We’ve got to pull some inspiration from somewhere.<strong> It’s happened before; teams have come back before.</strong> It’s gonna sting tonight, but tomorrow, when we show up, we’ll be ready to play.”</em></p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-rizzo">Anthony Rizzo</a> couldn’t score or collect a hit during Game 2 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, marking another unproductive game for him. Despite the loss, the New York Yankees first baseman <strong>didn’t hold back and clarified something about what could happen in Game 3 in the Bronx</strong>.</p>



<p>According to Rizzo’s latest comments following the 4-2 loss in the second game in L.A., <strong>he said the Yankees only need to win Game 3 to shift all the pressure onto the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Los Angeles Dodgers</a> </strong>and, in turn, extend the series.</p>



<p><em>“The biggest thing is if we win that game Monday, the pressure goes to the other side and you make this a series.”</em> In addition to what his team needs to do for Game 3, Rizzo expressed full confidence in his teammates, saying, <em><strong>“I have full confidence in us. We’ve just got to win on Monday.”</strong></em></p>



<p>Despite Rizzo’s faith, he has yet to be a key player for the Yankees in this World Series, managing just one hit in Game 1, with three strikeouts in five at-bats so far.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-rizzo">Anthony Rizzo</a> has been a pivotal player for the New York Yankees during the 2024 MLB regular season, playing a key role in the team’s push for the postseason. Unfortunately, <strong>the first baseman is sidelined due to injury, but he recently shared updates on his recovery process.</strong></p>



<p><em>“I mean overall… it’s an awful time, but it happened for a reason. I’m trying to process it,” </em>Rizzo stated, reflecting on how he’s coping with his hand fracture, which, according to manager Aaron Boone, isn’t a severe break—just a fracture in one of his fingers.</p>



<p>When asked if <strong>he envisions a possibility of playing in the playoffs,</strong> Rizzo replied, <em>“In my mind, yes, definitely. But in reality…”</em> things might be different regarding his situation with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees">New York Yankees</a> in the postseason.</p>



<p><em>“I’ve never been through this before,”</em> he admitted, highlighting the challenges the injury has posed. However, Rizzo revealed that he felt significantly better on the morning of September 29. He also confirmed to a reporter that he would require about 3 to 4 days of rest.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees">New York Yankees</a> have already secured the top seed for the 2024 MLB playoffs, entering the<strong> American League Division Series</strong> with a strong record. However, manager <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-boone">Aaron Boone</a> has shared some concerning details regarding Anthony Rizzo’s injury.</p>



<p>According to Boone, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-rizzo">Anthony Rizzo</a> has a fracture in one of his fingers. The manager explained that <strong>the team will monitor his progress over the week</strong>, and while it’s a setback, there is hope that Rizzo won’t be entirely ruled out.</p>



<p><em>“Yeah, he has a fracture in his finger. We’ll see what we have as the week moves forward. It doesn’t totally rule him out. It’s something that is a pain tolerance thing, so we’ll see as the days unfold here,” Boone said.</em></p>



<p>The Yankees’ manager added that Rizzo is dealing with some swelling in his hand, though not severe.<strong> Boone is understandably concerned about heading into the playoffs without a key player like Rizzo</strong>, who plays an essential role as the team’s first baseman.</p>

<p><em>“No question, he’s come back and done a really good job for us.

I don’t want to jump to any conclusions,” Boone said.</em></p>



<h2>Anthony Rizzo’s 2024 MLB Season</h2>
