Rice went 2-for-3 with a walk and two solo home runs during Game 2 of the ALDS against the Rays on Monday. The 27-year-old slugger launched solo shots during the fourth and eighth innings, but the rest of the Yankees offense stayed dormant in Tampa Bay. It's already Rice's second two-homer game of the playoffs, which matches the number of times he achieved that feat across 154 contests during the regular season. After scoring nine runs in both wild-card games last week, Rice's two solo shots are the only offense New York has managed in the first two games of the ALDS.

Rice went 4-for-5 with a double, two home runs and six RBI in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series against the Red Sox on Tuesday. The 27-year-old posted a 1.055 OPS over 22 games in September and carried his hot bat into the postseason with a fifth-inning solo homer and an eighth-inning grand slam in Tuesday's blowout victory. Rice clubbed 41 homers with 97 RBI, 105 runs and a .264/.363/.534 slash line in 154 regular-season games this year, with his breakout helping to cover the absence of Aaron Judge (calf).

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 will get a chance to rest his legs Saturday after going 3-for-4 with a home run and two additional runs scored Friday. Paul Goldschmidt will start at first place in Rice's stead, and Aaron Judge will serve as New York's DH.

Rice went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored during Friday's 6-4 win over the Mets. Rice crossed home in the first and second innings before belting a solo homer off Nolan McLean in the fifth to give the Yankees a 5-1 lead. 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 also ranks sixth in slugging percentage (.523) and 13th in RBI (89) across 608 plate appearances.
