New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo suffered a fractured finger on his right hand during his team's eventual 9-4 Saturday loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Manager Aaron Boone, however, told reporters that the injury doesn't necessarily mean Rizzo will be sidelined: Rizzo suffered the injury when he was struck on the hand by a Ryan Borucki slider in the seventh inning: Rizzo remained in the game to run the bases.

While this isn’t the worst news for the Yankees, it’s possible that Rizzo’s hand injury isn’t as severe as initially feared, based on Boone’s comments following the team’s second-to-last game of the regular season.
