Luke Voit still expects to get playing time when Anthony Rizzo comes off the COVID-19 list for the New York Yankees.
\"I was top-10 MVP last year and I\'ve been a great player for this organization for the last three years,\" Voit said Tuesday night.
\"I\'m not going down. I want to play. Obviously, I know it will be tough with Rizzo, but I deserve to play just as much as he does. I led the league in home runs last year. I feel really good again.\"
Voit was on the injured list with knee inflammation when the Yankees acquired Rizzo from the Chicago Cubs at the trade deadline. Rizzo has been out since Aug. 7, while Voit returned to the lineup on Aug. 8.
