Yankees Welcome Back Anthony Rizzo: A Timely Return
Another Infielder's Return Remains Uncertain
The New York Yankees are set to welcome back Anthony Rizzo from the 10-day injured list on Friday, providing a much-needed boost to their lineup. Rizzo, who has been sidelined with back tightness, has been hitting well in his rehab assignment and is expected to slot right back into the middle of the Yankees' order.
The return of Rizzo is a big one for the Yankees, who have struggled to score runs in his absence. The team is averaging just 3.8 runs per game without Rizzo in the lineup, and they have lost six of their last nine games.
While Rizzo's return is a positive sign, the Yankees are still waiting for another infielder to come off the injured list. DJ LeMahieu, who has been out with a foot injury, is not expected to return until after the All-Star break. LeMahieu is a key piece of the Yankees' offense, and his return will be a big boost to the team.
