The New York Yankees reinstated first baseman Anthony Rizzo from the injured list Sunday and optioned outfielder Estevan Florial to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
He is batting second behind leadoff hitter and American League MVP candidate Aaron Judge in Sunday's series finale at the Milwaukee Brewers.
Rizzo said last week that he was close to returning after no longer suffering from migraines that were a side effect from an epidural injection to treat his ailing lower back.
The slugging first baseman was not placed on the injured list until Sept.
