Anthony Rizzo is no stranger to getting hit by a pitch, which is what made him jumping in pain and eventually leaving Saturday’s game a concern.

In the second-to-last game before the playoffs begin, the Yankees first baseman was drilled on the right hand with a slider in the bottom of the seventh inning and was replaced by the top of the eighth.

After taking the pitch from lefty Ryan Borucki flush on the hand, Rizzo was in immediate pain as he took a big leap out of the box and doubled over before taking first base.

Rizzo missed two and a half months earlier this season with a forearm fracture after a fall while running into a pitcher at first base.
