    • Ben Rice sitting Tuesday against southpaw
      Ben Rice is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Mets.

      Advice: Rice takes a seat on New York’s bench with Mets southpaw David Peterson toeing the rubber. It’ll be newly-acquired veteran J.D. Davis drawing his first start at the cold corner on Tuesday night in his place. The 25-year-old prospect is batting .294 (5-for-17) with one RBI in 21 plate appearances over six games since getting the call to the majors last week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:32 pm
       
    • Idle against lefty
      Rice is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

      Advice: With J.D. Davis joining the Yankees roster, Rice is expected to enter the strong side of a platoon with Davis at first base. Rice will take a seat Tuesday for the first time since being called up June 18 as the Mets trot out southpaw David Peterson. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:11 pm
       
    • Logs first multi-hit game
      Rice went 2-for-3 in Sunday's loss to Atlanta.

      Advice: Rice was one of two Yankees with multiple hits in the contest, and it was the first multi-hit effort of his career. The 25-year-old started at first base for the fifth time in six contests since being called up, and three of those games have been against left-handed starters, against whom he's gone just 1-for-9. Rice has otherwise held his own overall in going 5-for-17 with a 3:3 BB:K, but he'll likely begin yielding some starts against southpaws to J.D. Davis, whom the Yankees acquired Sunday.

    • Ben Rice with two hits in loss
      Ben Rice went 2-for-3 on Sunday against the Braves.

      Advice: Rice has been totally fine in his first week of play with a .294 average and the same number of walks as strikeouts. He’s yet to find his first extra-base hit yet but does not seem over-matched by major league pitching. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:07 pm
       
    • Not in Thursday's lineup
      Rice is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Rice started at first base in each of his first two games after being promoted, going 2-for-7 with a walk. He'll begin this one on the bench, with DJ LeMahieu handling the cold corner and Oswaldo Cabrera the hot corner. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:15 am
       
    • Ben Rice records first career hit in pro debut
      Ben Rice went 1-for-4 with a single in Tuesday’s win over the Orioles.

      Advice: Rice hit an opposite-field fly ball to left in his first career at-bat but singled with runners on first and second to record his first career hit. Rice manned first base in place of Anthony Rizzo (hand) in his debut and overcame an early fielding gaffe to turn in a solid first outing as a pro. Rice was slashing .275/.393/.532 with 15 homers and 36 RBI in the minors this season. He’ll have ample opportunities to contribute to the Yankees’ lineup, with Rizzo set to miss an extended length of time. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:27 pm
       
    • Added to roster, batting sixth
      The Yankees selected Rice's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

      Advice: Rice earned a call-up after slashing .275/.393/.532 with 15 home runs, nine stolen bases and a 56:40 K:BB over 268 plate appearances between Double-A Trenton and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He's a catcher and a first baseman but is in line to be used mostly in the latter capacity while Anthony Rizzo (arm) is sidelined. Rice will start at first base and bat sixth in his major-league debut Tuesday versus the Orioles. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:38 pm
       
    • Yankees officially promote top prospect Ben Rice
      Yankees selected the contract of C/1B Ben Rice from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

      Advice: Rice ascends to the majors in the wake of Anthony Rizzo’s forearm fracture and is expected to receive the majority of the playing time at the cold corner moving forward. He’s at first base and batting sixth on Tuesday night against the Orioles in his big-league debut. The 25-year-old burgeoning slugger, who has recorded a sublime 925 OPS with 15 homers and nine steals across 60 games this season in the upper minors, is extremely appealing for fantasy managers since he’ll still have catcher eligibility moving forward. He doesn’t strike out a ton for a power-hitting backstop and also offers a little bit of speed as well for fantasy purposes. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy leagues until further notice. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:33 pm
       
    • Yankees to select contract of Ben Rice on Tuesday
      The Yankees will select the contract of catcher/infielder Ben Rice before Tuesday’s game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Rice will be called up with Anthony Rizzo heading to the injured list due to the fracture in Rizzo’s arm. The 25-year-old has hit well in his 60 minor-league games in 2024 with a .925 OPS, 15 homers and nine stolen bases. He’s made just 11 appearances above Double-A, but he’s slashed .333/.440/.619 in those chances with three homers in 42 at-bats. Rice has offensive upside, and he’s worth a look in most fantasy formats. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:55 am
