The Dodgers, Yankees rivalry goes back quite a ways, and what that means for baseball is not lost on Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Rizzo.

Here’s a look at the 26 players who made the New York Yankees’ roster for the American League Championship Series against the Cleveland Guardians.

Anthony Rizzo will forever be a fan-favorite in Chicago, and he’ll return to Wrigley Field for the first time since being traded by the Cubs when the New York Yankees come to town this weekend.

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo hasn’t appeared in an MLB game since mid-June, but he’s returned to the team just days before what’s sure to be an emotional scene at Chicago’s Wrigley Field.

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo famously had a really close bond with Chicago Cubs manager David Ross during their time together in the Windy City, but it was actually the Cubs’ skipper that may have helped Rizzo identify an ailment that had been plaguing him for months.

Rizzo, who’s been mired in a prolonged slump, said testing showed he was “moving a lot slower than the normal person’s reaction time would be.”

After splitting a wild four games in Milwaukee against the rival Brewers, the Cubs head the Big Apple for a high-profile interleague matchup, taking on the New York Yankees in the Bronx for three games.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ is now locked up through the 2026 season with the team, and he sought advice from one of his former teammates when making one of the biggest decisions of his life.

Cubs fans know how special Anthony Rizzo is to an organization. The Yankees have learned that now, too.

Former Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo is a cancer survivor, and reached out to White Sox closer Liam Hendriks after he revealed his diagnosis earlier this year.
