US EditionYankees SS Anthony Volpe Avoids Serious Elbow Injury
- During Friday's matchup at Yankee Stadium, Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe exited the game in the fourth inning after being struck on the left elbow by a pitch, contributing to the team's 9-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
- With runners on every base in the second inning, Volpe was struck by an 88.2 mph changeup from Red Sox starter Walker Buehler, resulting in a contusion and driving in a run.
- Volpe remained in the game until the fourth inning when swelling forced the Yankees to replace him defensively with Oswald Peraza before he underwent X-rays and a CT scan.
- Volpe, 24, hit his eighth homer earlier in the game and said, "It was painful" and "We'll see how it responds," while hoping to play Saturday if swelling subsides.
- Volpe's injury marks his second scare this season, but he has played 378 of 386 games over three seasons, highlighting his durability and suggesting no serious damage so far.
