The Yankees have optioned Will Warren to the minors to make room for Anthony Rizzo's return from the injured list, as they prepare for roster expansion.
Since Rizzo went on the IL, Warren has struggled at the plate, hitting just .175/.259/.356 over 175 plate appearances, with a particularly poor August.
The Yankees are optimistic about Rizzo's return; they hope he can regain his form, which historically includes a .238/.337/.446 line since joining New York.
Rizzo's prior performance before injury was concerning, as he managed only a .223/.289/.341 slash line in a career-worst season prior to going on the IL.
