The official @Yankees account posted a highlight video of first baseman Ben Rice’s solo home run with the caption “Instant Rice 🍚,” marking his 40th homer of the 2026 season. The lighthearted post is trending because it captures a career milestone—Rice became one of only a handful of Yankees (and just the second Yankees draft pick after Aaron Judge) to reach 40 homers in a season.
