Overview

  • Manager Aaron Boone said Volpe has a small tear in the labrum of his left shoulder dating to a May 3 dive, and the shortstop received a cortisone injection this week after a recent aggravation.
  • Volpe was held out of the lineup for a second consecutive game on Thursday with José Caballero starting at shortstop, and Boone indicated Volpe was unlikely to be available off the bench and could also miss Friday in Boston.
  • Boone noted Volpe also received a cortisone shot at the All-Star break and may undergo an MRI after the season, adding he does not currently expect an injured-list stint.
  • The 24-year-old is batting .206 with a .661 OPS and an American League-high 19 errors, with production sliding from a .233/.326/.442 line through May 3 to .197/.248/.378 since.
  • The Yankees are taking day-to-day lineup decisions at shortstop as they navigate a tight division and wild-card race, with Caballero drawing more starts in recent days.
