Twins' Trevor Larnach: Hits injured list
The Twins placed Larnach on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left hamstring strain.
Larnach's injury and move to the IL will take him out for the final two games of the Twins' season. He'll close the book on 2024 with a .259/.338/.434 slash line alongside 15 homers and 52 RBI, and the Twins will call up DaShawn Keirsey to make up for the lost depth in their outfield.

Yankees' Anthony Rizzo: Suffers fractured finger
Rizzo was diagnosed with a fractured finger after leaving Saturday's game against the Pirates, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Rizzo suffered the injury after getting hit in the hand by a pitch during the seventh inning. Manager Aaron Boone said after the game that Rizzo's injury doesn't necessarily rule him out for the start of New York's playoff run, and the first baseman's availability will depend on pain tolerance. That being said, it's likely he sits out Sunday's regular-season finale.

Yankees' Anthony Rizzo: Leaves game after HBP
Rizzo was removed from Saturday's game against the Pirates after getting hit in the hand by a pitch, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Rizzo took an 88-mph slider off his right hand during the seventh inning. He initially remained in the game to run the bases but was replaced on defense once New York took the field to begin the eighth. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but if he ends up having to miss Sunday's season finale, Oswaldo Cabrera would likely be the next man up to start at first base for the Yankees.
