Yankees' Ben Rice: Sitting against lefty Sunday
Rice is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
The left-handed-hitting Rice will head to the bench for the second straight game while the Cubs send another lefty (Shota Imanaga) to the hill. Though Rice has maintained a .795 OPS through six games in July and owns a 134 wRC+ versus opposite-handed pitching this season, the Yankees have yet to commit to using the 26-year-old as a full-time player against righties. Rice was on the bench for three of the Yankees' previous five matchups versus righty starters, with Paul Goldschmidt occupying first base in each of the contests that Rice was out of the lineup.

Yankees' Ben Rice: Playing time trending down
Rice is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
Over his last eight games, Rice has gone just 4-for-27 with a .324 on-base percentage, and his lack of recent production is beginning to cost him some playing time. For the fourth time in five matchups with a right-handed starting pitcher (Logan Evans), the left-handed-hitting Rice will head to the bench while the Yankees go with Paul Goldschmidt at first base and Giancarlo Stanton at designated hitter.

Yankees' Ben Rice: Resting Sunday
Rice is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
Rice will head to the bench after starting three of the last four games and going 4-for-15 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and two runs. The Yankees will open Sunday's contest with Austin Wells behind the plate, Paul Goldschmidt at first base and Giancarlo Stanton as their designated hitter.

Yankees' Ben Rice: Taking seat Tuesday
Rice is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.
The lefty-hitting Rice had started in each of the Yankees' last seven matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he'll move to the bench Tuesday as Toronto sends righty Kevin Gausman to the hill. With a 143 wRC+ over 211 plate appearances versus righties this season, Rice has been far more productive in those matchups than the right-handed-hitting Paul Goldschmidt (73 wRC+ in 231 plate appearances), but Yankees manager Aaron Boone isn't yet ready to commit to a strict platoon between the two players at first base. Goldschmidt will get the nod at first base Tuesday, and he and Rice could both be occasionally included together in the lineup against righties if Rice is used at catcher or designated hitter.

Yankees' Ben Rice: Back on bench vs. lefty
Rice is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.
Rice came up big while making a pair of starts against Baltimore over the weekend, going 5-for-9 with three extra-base hits in the Yankees' series victory. Though he'll be back on the bench Monday as the Reds send southpaw Nick Lodolo to the mound, the left-handed-hitting Rice has made it increasingly difficult for manager Aaron Boone to take him out of the lineup when the Yankees face righties. In his 192 plate appearances versus righties this season, Rice has produced a robust .266/.354/.509 slash line (143 wRC+).

Yankees' Ben Rice: Snaps homerless skid
Rice went 2-for-5 with a home run, a triple and two total RBI in a 9-0 win against the Orioles on Saturday.
Rice was the only Yankee with multiple-extra base hits Saturday, as he swatted a solo homer in the second inning and added a run-scoring triple in the fifth. The long ball was his first in 14 games and just his second in June. Rice is batting .173 through 52 at-bats this month, but he's at least managed to keep strikeouts down with a 17.9 percent K rate during that span.

Yankees' Ben Rice: On bench against southpaw
Rice is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.
Though he'll take a seat with southpaw Tyler Anderson on the bump for the Angels, the left-handed-hitting Rice should still remain at least a semi-regular presence in the lineup against right-handed pitchers, even with the recent return of Giancarlo Stanton from the 60-day injured list closing off a potential path to playing time. Rice had been serving exclusively as a designated hitter or first baseman before making his first MLB start as a catcher in Wednesday's 3-2 loss. He went 0-for-1 with a walk Wednesday before being removed from the contest in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Yankees' Ben Rice: Drawing first start at catcher
Rice will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game versus the Angels.
Rice saw most of his playing time at catcher in the minors, but he'll be making his first-ever start and seventh career appearance behind the dish at the major-league level. While Rice's starts at catcher moving forward are expected to be few and far between, it offers an additional path to playing time and also gives him a chance to gain eligibility at the position for fantasy purposes.

Yankees' Ben Rice: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Rice is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone has some lineup juggling to do now that Giancarlo Stanton is back in the fold, and it will be Rice's turn to sit out Tuesday. Rice had started each of the previous six games.

Yankees' Ben Rice: Could get starts at catcher soon
Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated Wednesday that Rice could see starts at catcher after Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) returns from the 60-day injured list, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Rice caught two innings in Tuesday's win over the Royals, with Boone calling Rice's performance behind the plate "noticeably excellent." It's the fifth time this season that Rice has seen action at catcher this season, and while he has yet to make a start at catcher at the big-league level, it was his primary position in the minors. Rice is not going to overtake Austin Wells as the primary backstop for the Yankees, but mixing him in at the position will allow Boone to fit Stanton and others in the lineup. It would also greatly boost Rice's fantasy appeal if he's able to gain catcher eligibility.
