Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe left their game against the Boston Red Sox in the fourth inning with a bruised left elbow, two innings after he was hit by an 88.2 mph Walker Buehler pitch.

Still, the team is playing it safe, with Oswald Peraza expected to cover shortstop duties for the foreseeable future. Oddly, Jazz Chisholm, who is coming off a great Friday night, was also out of the lineup Saturday with Pablo Reyes playing this base.

After the Yankees won their first 2025 game against the Red Sox, one that Volpe contributed a two-run homer in the five-run first in addition to his painful second-inning ribbie, he met with reporters to give an update on his elbow, which was still very swollen.
