NEW YORK (AP) — Anthony Volpe was not in the New York Yankees' lineup Saturday against the Boston Red Sox, a day after getting hit in the left elbow by Walker Buehler's pitch.

The durable shortstop missed just his second game of the season.

“Just kind of talking with the trainers, they’re like, I think it would do him well to try and get one more day and just get a lot of treatment in there and hopefully he’ll be back in there tomorrow."
