NEW YORK — Yankees<\/a> first baseman Ben Rice<\/a> left Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles<\/a> with a bruised left hand after fielding a pickoff throw by Max Fried<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rice was replaced by Paul Goldschmidt<\/a> after the Yankees batted in the third. In the top half, Rice grimaced after taking a low pickoff toss from Fried with Leody Taveras<\/a> on first.<\/p>\n

The Yankees said X-rays were negative and Rice is day-to-day.<\/p>\n

Rice hit his 12th homer<\/a> in the first inning before doubling and scoring onAaron Judge<\/a>‘stwo-run homer in the third. Rice is hitting .343 with 12 homers and 27 RBIs in 33 games, including 25 starts at first base.<\/p>\n

The Yankees have been mostly healthy this season, though they put Giancarlo Stanton<\/a> on the injured list last week with a strained right calf.<\/p>\n
