Two hits in return Bazzana went 2-for-4 for Double-A Akron on Friday.

Impact Bazzana, who was activated off the 7-day injured list Friday, started at second base and batted leadoff. He played nine innings in the field before being pinch hit for in the 10th and final frame. He missed the last two months with an oblique injury, which has naturally put a crimp in the development of the first-overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. Second base at the major-league level is an unsettled spot that Bazzana is expected to fill when he's ready.

The 22-year-old infielder posted a .795 OPS to go with four home runs and eight steals in 33 games for Akron before landing on the IL.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Bazzana has slashed .252/.362/.433 with four home runs and eight stolen bases over 33 contests with Akron this season.

Bazzana is hitting .252/.362/.433 with four home runs and eight stolen bases over 33 contests with Akron this season. He's homered twice and boasts a 1.013 OPS across his last 10 games.
