Ben Rice News: Taking seat in Game 1

Published on September 30, 2025

Rice is not in the lineup Tuesday for Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series against the Yankees.

With tough southpaw Garrett Crochet toeing the rubber for the Red Sox, the left-handed-hitting Rice will begin the contest on the bench. It will be Paul Goldschmidt at first base and Austin Wells doing the catching for the Yankees.
