Rizzo was ejected from Thursday's game against the Orioles in the top of the eighth inning for arguing balls and strikes, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs and a strikeout to begin Thursday's matchup, but he was tossed after striking out in the eighth inning. The 32-year-old has now recorded hits in seven of his last eight games and will likely be available for Friday's series opener against the White Sox.

Rizzo went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 6-2 victory against Baltimore. Rizzo scored the game's first run after reaching on a fielder's choice in the third inning, and he gave New York some extra cushion with a ninth-inning solo shot to left field. The long ball was Rizzo's first since April 29. The veteran got off to a hot start with a .284 average and nine homers over his first 20 games, but he has cooled off with a .146/.241/.271 slash line, one homer and three RBI over 13 contests in May.

He's slashing .233/.350/.526 across 137 plate appearances overall.

He's impressed in his first full season as a Yankee, hitting .232/.353/.536 with nine homers, though he's slipped to a .493 OPS over his last 11 games. DJ LeMahieu will handle first base Friday.

Two low calls in the at-bat that Anthony Rizzo certainly did not like from Manny Gonzalez. https://t.co/kIV3Yccb2p
