Yankees' Anthony Rizzo: Absent from Game 3 lineup

Rizzo is not in the lineup Thursday for Game 3 of the ALCS in Cleveland.

Rizzo returned from two fractured fingers to reach base twice in each of the first two games of the series, but with southpaw Matthew Boyd on the hill for the Guardians in Game 3, the left-handed-hitting Rizzo will begin the contest on the bench. Jon Berti is starting at first base and batting sixth.
