The New York Yankees avoided an injury scare on Sunday, as first baseman Ben Rice exited the game with an apparent left-hand contusion.
In the third inning, Rice took a throw from left-hander Max Fried that clearly awkwardly hit Rice's glove. Luckily, X-rays came back negative.
âItâs a little sore,â Rice told reporters, including MLB.com's Bill Ladson, about the injury. âI thought the throw [from Fried] was going to be a little lower than it was. I went down and thought it would be in the dirt. Then it kind of stayed up in the end. I caught it poorly. It kind of hit in the palm.â
On Monday, the Yankees will play the series finale of their four-game set against the Baltimore Orioles.
