Rice has three homers during his seven-game hitting streak, including Friday's solo shot. The slugger has also shown a little speed at times -- he's up to four triples on the year after his three-bagger. On the year, Rice is batting .264 with an .897 OPS, 39 homers, 94 RBI, 100 runs scored, 22 doubles and three stolen bases over 146 contests, building upon his breakout from 2025.

Rice went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in a 2-0 victory over the Mets on Sunday.

It looked like the Yankees could be in for a big game on offense when Rice went deep to right field leading off their half of the first inning, but only one additional run was scored by either team for the rest of the contest. The long ball continued a nice September for Rice, as he's slashing .368/.467/.605 with three home runs, 10 runs and four RBI through 10 games this month. He's been one of the best hitters in the league this year, ranking ninth among qualified hitters in OPS (.884) and 13th in RBI (90) while tying for fifth in homers (38).

Rice isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Rice is up to 37 home runs on the season, which leads the Yankees and is tied with Hunter Goodman for sixth-most in the majors.

Rice was impactful out of the cleanup spot, reaching base in all five of his plate appearances and scoring two of the Yankees' five runs. The All-Star slugger has been swinging a hot bat of late, notching multiple hits in seven of his past 12 contests and batting .388 with two homers, 10 runs and eight RBI over that span. Rice has been a breakout performer for the Yankees this year, leading the team in homers (36), runs (89) and RBI (88) with Aaron Judge (ribs) playing in just 59 games so far.
