## Resource

Ben Rice is crushing it with the bat, but catching? Not so fast. Yankees manager Aaron Boone says Rice’s hand injury — though healed — has sidelined him from bullpen sessions and pre-game catching work, delaying any transition behind the plate. Boone’s focus remains on Rice’s offensive value, calling him a key hitter right now. While catching isn’t ruled out long-term, it’s clearly not in the immediate future. For now, the Yankees are letting him rake — and the catching bridge? They’ll cross it when they get to it. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
