Yankees: Anthony Rizzo is back on the Yankees’ injured list, this time because of a broken right forearm that will sideline him until August, and pitchers Ian Hamilton and Cody Poteet also are hurt. The Yankees put the 34-year-old first baseman on the 10-day IL on Tuesday, two days after he collided with Red Sox pitcher Brennan Bernardino at Fenway Park. Bernardino was covering the bag to take the throw from first baseman Dominic Smith on Rizzo’s grounder. Rizzo tumbled to the ground in foul territory after crossing the bag safely and fell on his right arm. Rizzo said he won’t participate in baseball activities for four to five weeks, and the Yankees estimated eight weeks for a return to the major league roster. The Yankees selected the contract of first baseman/catcher Ben Rice from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Hamilton has a moderate right lat strain and won’t throw for three to four weeks. The right-hander, who turned 29 on Sunday, was to receive a PRP injection Tuesday night. Poteet, a 29-year-old right-hander, has a strained right triceps. Left-handers Clayton Andrews and Anthony Misiewicz were also called up from Triple-A. Misiewicz and Rice were both added to the 40-man roster, and the Yankees said corresponding moves would be announced later. A three-time All-Star, Rizzo is hitting .223 with eight homers, 28 RBIs and a .630 OPS. He began June in a 1-for-34 slide before going 4 for 14 with a home run and three RBIs in his last five games. Rizzo’s 2023 season was wrecked on May 28 when he collided with the Padres’ Fernando Tatis Jr. while trying to apply a tag on a pickoff attempt. Rizzo sustained a concussion and hit .174 with 10 RBIs in 47 games after the collision, leaving him with a .244 average, 12 homers and 41 RBIs. A World Series champion with the 2016 Cubs, Rizzo has a .262 career average with 303 home runs, 958 RBIs and four Gold Gloves. Rizzo has a $17 million salary in the second season of a two-year, $40 million contract. The Yankees have a $17 million option for 2025 with a $6 million buyout. Rice was hitting .275 with 15 homers and 26 RBIs in 49 games this year with Double-A Somerset and Scranton. Promoted to Triple-A on June 5, he batted .333 with three homers, 10 RBIs and a 1.059 OPS in 11 games with the RailRiders. Rice was a 12th-round pick from Dartmouth in the 2021 amateur draft.

Astros: Three-time Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander was placed on the 15-day IL due to neck discomfort. The 41-year-old RHP was scratched from Saturday’s scheduled start against the Tigers. Verlander, 41, hasn’t pitched since June 9, when he allowed four runs in a 9-7 loss to the Angels. The nine-time All-Star is 3-2 with a 3.95 ERA in 10 starts this season. He leads all active pitchers with 260 career wins and 3,393 strikeouts. The Astros recalled RHP Nick Hernandez from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move. He has a 1.93 ERA and no decisions in two relief appearances (4 2/3 innings) this season for the Astros.

Blue Jays: SS Bo Bichette was placed on the 10-day IL because of a strained right calf. The move is retroactive to Saturday. A two-time AL hits leader, the 26-year-old Bichette has struggled this season. He’s batting .237 with four HRs and 28 RBIs.
