Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe exits with elbow contusion on the pitch "optimistic" outlook for a quick return

Shortstop Anthony Volpe, who has been the most durable player for the New York Yankees for more than two seasons, showed signs of anomalous condition in the Yankees' 9-6 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday morning Beijing time (Friday night local time in New York) when he twisted in severe pain after being hit in his left elbow by a touching ball.

The Yankees officially announced that Volpe had been diagnosed with a contusion, and hours later the player reported "pain and stiffness" in his left elbow. Late-night X-rays and CT scans were unremarkable, and head coach Aaron Boone said he hoped he wouldn't be out for too long.

"I'm absolutely optimistic that I'm absolutely optimistic that I'm just going to get rid of the swelling after confirming that my bone structure is intact," Volp said, "and expect to be back tomorrow (Saturday)." "

At full base in the second inning, Volpe was hit in the elbow by an 88.8mph pitcher from Walker Buehler to earn a hard-fought point to give the Yankees a 7-0 lead.

After being checked by lead athletic trainer Tim Lentych from the sidelines, Volpe continued to run the bases and was involved in the third inning. In the fourth inning, Oswald Peraza took his place as a shortstop.

"I used to get elbow touches like this in the Little League," Boone said, "and he's a little stiff and sore at the moment, but he shouldn't be out for long." "

Volpu hit a two-point home run in the first game of the game, tying the season record with 3 RBIs in a single game. The 3-game statistics for 61 games this season are 0.241/0.321/0.445, with a total of 17 second base hits, 2 triple base hits, 8 home runs and 37 RBIs.

"You have to keep playing for the team," Walp stressed, "and that's what the best team-mates do. It's not just me, everyone is working hard every day to be able to play and fight for the team. "
