New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe got off to a great start against the Boston Red Sox. The 24-year-old followed up Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s three-run home run in the first inning with a two-run shot of his own. New York jumped on Walker Buehler early , building a 7-0 lead in the first two innings. However, Volpe did not make it through his second at-bat before exiting the game.
Volpe was hit in his left arm by a pitch from Buehler in the second inning. After Yankees manager Aaron Boone came out to check on his shortstop, he made the decision to take him out of the game. Oswald Peraza replaced him at shortstop and Volpe went into the clubhouse to get checked out.
While the game continued without him, Volpe received X-rays and a CT scan from the Yankees' training staff, according
