Ben Rice Sidelined With Hand Injury Amid Historic Power Surge

Yankees infielder Ben Rice was sidelined for Tuesday's game against the Rangers due to a hand injury, as confirmed by manager Aaron Boone. Prior to the setback, Rice had been in the spotlight for an impressive home run race with teammate Aaron Judge, with their power trajectory drawing comparisons to historic pinstriped performances. The team is monitoring the severity of the hand issue as they look to sustain their high-level offensive production and determine when Rice can return to action.
