Yankees activate Anthony Rizzo from 60-day injured list


The New York Yankees reinstated infielder Anthony Rizzo from the 60-day injured list on Sunday.

Batting seventh against the St. Louis Cardinals, Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in the 14-7 loss.

Rizzo had been working his way back after suffering a fractured right forearm in a collision with Boston Red Sox pitcher Brennan Bernardino on June 16.

Rizzo's return was one of a few moves the Yankees made Sunday, the first day teams are allowed to increase their rosters to 28 players.

New York also recalled outfielder Duke Ellis and right-handers Ron Marinaccio and Scott Effross from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and designated left-hander Josh Maciejewski for assignment.

The moves come a day after the Yankees optioned right-hander Will Warren and first baseman/catcher Ben Rice to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Ellis, 26, was 0 for 4 with one career in eight games with the Chicago White Sox earlier this season.

Marinaccio, 29, posted a 1-0 record with a 2.53 ERA in 14 relief appearances with the Yankees earlier this season. He is 6-5 with a 2.96 ERA in 99 career relief appearances with New York.

Effross, 30, is 3-5 with four saves and a 2.78 ERA in 74 career appearances (one start) with the Cubs (2021-22) and Yankees.
