Volpe Injured as Yankees Beat Red Sox 9-6

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe exited Friday's 9-6 win over the Boston Red Sox after being hit on the left elbow by an 88-mph pitch from Walker Buehler, sustaining a contusion but no structural damage according to X-rays and CT scans. Volpe initially remained in the game but departed before the fourth inning due to swelling and pain. Manager Aaron Boone indicated optimism that Volpe would not require a stint on the injured list, as the team monitors his recovery. Volpe has posted a .241 average with eight home runs this season, solidifying his position at the top of the lineup. Oswald Peraza is expected to fill in at shortstop during Volpe's absence, while Paul Goldschmidt, Jazz Chisholm Jr., and Aaron Judge contributed to the Yankees’ offensive dominance. The Yankees remain atop the AL East following this victory.
