Ahead of today’s series finale in Milwaukee, the Yankees announced that they had activated Anthony Rizzo off the injured list. In a corresponding move, they sent Estevan Florial to Triple-A Scranton.
Rizzo had originally hit the IL with a lower back injury, and saw his return delayed by migraines related to an epidural he received earlier this month. Though Rizzo was only placed on the IL early in September, the back ailment had caused him to miss a handful of games in July and August, and likely was impacting him at least partially throughout much of the summer.
