Overview

  • Manager Aaron Boone said Volpe is not expected to start any of the three games at Fenway after receiving a cortisone injection in his left shoulder this week.
  • Volpe re-aggravated a confirmed partial labrum tear on Sunday, and the Yankees will reassess with repeat imaging while keeping him available only in an emergency role for now.
  • José Caballero started at shortstop Friday and is slated to handle the position through the series, with Boone framing lineups as a day-to-day decision late in the season.
  • GM Brian Cashman said no surgery is recommended at this time and no IL stint is planned, though offseason surgery is not ruled out, and he still views Volpe as the shortstop of the future.
  • Volpe’s season line sits at .206/.268/.393 with an AL-leading 19 errors, a downturn that began after the May 3 injury, as New York and Boston enter the series separated by a half-game in the standings.
