Anthony Volpe Injures Shoulder, X-rays Negative Despite Yankees Loss

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe injured his left shoulder during a diving play in the eighth inning of Saturday’s 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Volpe described feeling a 'pop' in his shoulder, an experience he called 'scary' and unlike anything he's felt before. After being attended to by trainers and supported by teammates on the field, Volpe remained in the game, and subsequent X-rays were negative, though he may still undergo further testing such as an MRI. Despite the injury scare, Volpe reported feeling good following in-game evaluations, though his status remains day-to-day. The Yankees, already dealing with multiple key injuries, may need to rely on backups if Volpe is sidelined. Manager Aaron Boone said Volpe seemed to regain strength and was cleared to play after being checked on the field.
