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 sustaining a right forearm fracture in a collision with Boston Red Sox pitcher Brennan Bernardino on June 16.
The return of Rizzo was one of a few moves made by the Yankees on Sunday, the first day that teams are allowed to increase their rosters to 28 players.
