Anthony Rizzo Nears Return from IL

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo is set to be activated from the 60-day injured list as early as Sunday after recovering from a fractured right forearm. Rizzo has been out since mid-June and has recently completed a series of rehab games with Double-A Somerset, where he showed promising signs by going 2-for-8 and hitting a home run. Despite struggling before his injury, the Yankees hope Rizzo can provide a needed boost to their lineup, especially with replacements DJ LeMahieu and Ben Rice underperforming. Manager Aaron Boone expressed optimism about Rizzo's readiness both mentally and physically, stating that he's eager to return and contribute significantly. Rizzo's return is anticipated to stabilize the first base position and improve the team's offensive and defensive performance.
