Rizzo (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset during the weekend, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Rizzo will serve as a designated hitter for the first several games of his assignment before eventually moving back to first base. The Yankees haven't said how long the 35-year-old will remain in the minors, though he figures to return to New York sometime in early September.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that the team has discussed sending Rizzo (forearm) out on a rehab assignment, though no decision has been reached as to when it would begin, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Rizzo would serve as a designated hitter initially on the rehab assignment before eventually playing time first base. The 35-year-old has been on the injured list since mid-June with a fractured right forearm and is likely trending toward an early September return.

Guerrero will start at third base and bat third in Wednesday's contest versus the Reds.

Guerrero will pick up a second start in a row and the eighth start this season at the hot corner, despite having not previously made any starts at the position since his 2019 rookie campaign. The 25-year-old has already picked up third-base eligibility on some fantasy platforms, and getting to the 20-game threshold before the end of this season would mean he would have eligibility at the position in just about every format heading into 2025.

Rizzo (forearm) batted in a simulated game against Yankees reliever Ian Hamilton on Tuesday, but the first baseman's return timeline is still undetermined, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

That Rizzo was able to take swings against Hamilton -- who threw his full arsenal of pitches -- is a positive sign that his forearm fracture is healing well, but manager Aaron Boone indicated that the team still wants Rizzo to heal further before sending him off on a rehab assignment. The veteran slugger has been out since mid-June and isn't likely to return to New York's lineup until some time in September.

Dezenzo is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Red Sox, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

It's the third straight game on the bench for Dezenzo, who has started just three of the last nine games and just one of the last seven against right-handed pitching. Yainer Diaz will play first base in Wednesday's series finale, while Victor Caratini will do the catching.

Singleton went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Red Sox.

Singleton's blast helped the Astros erase a three-run deficit in the first inning. That was his lone successful moment Tuesday, as he struck out in his other three at-bats. The first baseman has gone 9-for-32 (.281) in August, but he's been losing playing time to a combination of Zach Dezenzo and Yainer Diaz over the last week. Once Alex Bregman (elbow) returns, Shay Whitcomb may also enter the mix at first base, further impacting Singleton's role. For the season, Singleton is slashing .235/.315/.371 with 11 homers, 33 RBI, 40 runs scored and seven doubles over 96 contests.

Casas went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and two walks in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Astros.

Casas has logged multiple hits in three of his five games since returning from what was nearly a four-month absence due to a cartilage tear in his ribcage. He's gone 7-for-20 (.350) since his return, with his homer Tuesday being his first extra-base hit in that span. For the year, the first baseman is at a .265/.363/.510 slash line with seven homers, 13 RBI, 16 runs scored and three doubles across 113 plate appearances.

Torkelson went 4-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Cubs.

It's a small sample, but Torkelson is now 6-for-10 since getting recalled from Triple-A Toledo over the weekend. Encouragingly, he's also only struck out twice in three games. Making consistent contact has been an issue at times for Torkelson, but the 24-year-old has tremendous power, as evidenced by his 31 home runs last season. He could make a decent fantasy impact down the stretch if he stays locked in at the plate.

Kavadas isn't in the Angels' lineup for Tuesday's game versus Kansas City, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

The lefty-hitting Kavadas will take a seat Tuesday while the Royals send left-hander Cole Ragans to the mound. Brandon Drury will instead serve as Los Angeles' designated hitter, allowing Jack Lopez to start at second base and bat ninth.

Dezenzo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Dezenzo has a .161/.212/.290 slash line and 33.3 percent strikeout rate in his first nine big-league games and will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Yordan Alvarez is serving as the designated hitter while Mauricio Dubon receives a start in left field.
