Anthony Volpe sustained a left elbow contusion during Friday's game but expressed optimism about his recovery after negative X-rays and a CT scan. Although he initially planned to play Saturday, coach Aaron Boone opted to give him an extra day off due to swelling. Volpe showed resilience by staying in the game after being hit by a pitch, contributing to the Yankees' early lead. Boone, drawing from personal experience, emphasized the importance of not risking injury by playing through discomfort.
I expect to be in there [Saturday]," the third-year shortstop said.
Had him in there up until a couple of hours ago when he got here," Boone said before Saturday night's game.
