Anthony Volpe Back For Monday's Series Opener
Anthony Volpe (shoulder) is back at shortstop and is hitting sixth in Monday's series opener against the visiting San Diego Padres and right-hander Nick Pivetta in the Bronx. Volpe dove for a ball in the hole on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays and felt a pop in his left shoulder. He stayed down on the ground before being looked at by a trainer, but he eventually remained in the game. An MRI exam and X-rays showed no structural damage. The Yankees held the 24-year-old out as a precaution on Sunday, but he's back in there to begin the week against the Padres. While likely being less than 100 percent on Monday against a pitcher that has been pretty dominant early this year, fantasy managers may want to fade Volpe in this one. He enters Monday's game hitting .233/.326/.442 with five homers, 19 RBI, 16 runs and four steals in 120 at-bats.
