Anthony Volpe Receives Cortisone Injection in his Shoulder
Anthony Volpe (shoulder) received a cortisone injection in his left shoulder for an injury that he initially suffered in early May when he dove for a ball and heard a pop, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Volpe did not have structural damage in his shoulder and never went on the injured list, but he has had "discomfort on occasion in the area since." Given the 24-year-old's struggles at the plate, manager Aaron Boone hinted that the shortstop position could be up for grabs going forward, and Jose Caballero made the start at the 6 in Wednesday's loss to the Detroit Tigers. Volpe does have 19 home runs in his third year in the big leagues for the Yankees, but he's hitting a career-low .206 (103-for-501) with 140 strikeouts and 41 walks in 141 games. Fantasy managers may not be able to count on him from here on out.
