Overview

  • Anthony Volpe felt a 'pop' in his left shoulder diving for a grounder during Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays but remained in the game despite discomfort.
  • Subsequent X-rays and an MRI showed no structural damage, and Yankees manager Aaron Boone described the injury as 'sore' and 'day-to-day.'
  • Volpe sat out Sunday’s game, with Oswald Peraza stepping in at shortstop, but returned to the lineup on Monday under continued monitoring by the team.
  • The Yankees are managing a series of injuries to key players, including Jazz Chisholm Jr., Giancarlo Stanton, and Gerrit Cole, heightening the importance of Volpe’s availability.
  • If Volpe’s condition worsens, the Yankees may explore external infield reinforcements, with utility player Jon Berti mentioned as a potential trade target.
