The New York Yankees may be winning their game against the San Diego Padres, but they may have lost Anthony Rizzo. Fernando Tatis Jr was caught out too far off the bag after a strikeout and Kyle Higashioka fired it to Rizzo at first, who applied the tag to a non-sliding Tatis.The collision injured the star first baseman, who is having a career year. He was shaken up after the play and appeared very upset with Tatis, shoving him out of the way as he stumbled forward.Rizzo was removed from the game for recently acquired Greg Allen. This could be precautionary as the Yankees held an 8-3 lead in the sixth at that point, but it could be a serious injury.Talkin’ Baseball@TalkinBaseball_Anthony Rizzo appeared to be in a lot of pain after getting tangled up with Fernando Tatis Jr. on this strike em out throw em out double play74834Anthony Rizzo appeared to be in a lot of pain after getting tangled up with Fernando Tatis Jr. on this strike em out throw em out double play https://t.co/dHpj8kh2e0Tatis, who has an unfortunate reputation following him, was blamed by the Yankees fan base and MLB fans at large.
