Anthony Rizzo contributed notably in the Yankees' 7-3 win over the Athletics, delivering a solid performance at the plate.
Fantasy Impact: Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a home run, one run scored, and one RBI. This outing was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat sluggish season for Rizzo, who's batting just .242 through 25 games. His home run today, only his third of the season, might hint at a potential uptick in power.
