Overview

  • Anthony Volpe felt a 'pop' in his left shoulder during a diving play against the Rays on May 3 but remained in the game despite visible discomfort.
  • X-rays and an MRI revealed no structural damage, leading the Yankees to list him as day-to-day rather than placing him on the injured list.
  • Volpe missed Sunday's game but returned to the lineup on May 5 against the Padres, with manager Aaron Boone confirming his full strength and continued monitoring.
  • The Yankees are grappling with multiple infield injuries, including Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s extended absence, heightening the importance of Volpe's availability.
  • Prior to the injury, Volpe had started all 33 games this season, showcasing his durability and defensive value as a Gold Glove-winning shortstop.
