New York Yankees first baseman Ben Rice and outfielder Cody Bellinger have been named finalists for the 2026 Silver Slugger Award, recognizing the best offensive players at each position in Major League Baseball.
The announcement came Thursday from SNY, with both players earning recognition for their offensive contributions during the 2026 season. Rice, a rising talent for the Yankees, and Bellinger, the former National League MVP who joined New York, represent the club among the league's top hitters.
The Silver Slugger Awards are voted on by MLB managers and coaches, with winners typically announced later in November. Both Yankees players will compete against other finalists at their respective positions for the prestigious honor.
