NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe hopes to return to the starting lineup for Monday’s series opener against San Diego after missing a 7-5 loss to Tampa Bay.
Volpe hurt his left shoulder on a dive trying to get to a grounder in the eighth inning of Saturday’s 3-2 loss to the Rays.
“I don’t know yet if it’s a yes or a no, but I think it’s in play and we’ll talk about it,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “I think in Anthony’s mind it’s yes.”
Volpe remained in Saturday’s game after his unsuccessful attempt for a backhand stab on Christopher Morel’s eighth-inning single, which sparked a two-run rally in Tampa Bay’s win.
“X-rays, MRI — good news,” Boone said before Sunday’s game. “He’s sore today, but I feel like we’re probably in a good spot. We’ll see. Kind of day to day right now.”
Volpe said after Saturday’s game he heard a pop in the shoulder.
“It’s a little unclear in there. He’s got some stuff that they feel like is older stuff, so hard to know exactly,” Boone said. “He’s definitely a little cranky in the shoulder today.”
Volpe took dry swings in the trainer’s room Sunday but Boone decided not to use him as a pinch hitter.
Volpe, who turned 24 on Monday, is hitting .233 with five homers, 19 RBIs and four stolen bases in his third season with the Yankees.
Oswald Peraza played shortstop Sunday and was 1 for 3. His error contributed to an unearned run.
New York already was missing second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. (strained right oblique), third baseman DJ LeMahieu (strained left calf), ace Gerrit Cole (Tommy John surgery) and right-hander Luis Gil (right lat strain), the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year.
