NEW YORK -- Shortstop Anthony Volpe was back in the Yankees' starting lineup Monday night, two days after he injured his left shoulder on a dive while trying to get to a grounder.
Volpe did not play in Sunday's 7-5 loss to Tampa Bay but was down to hit sixth in Monday's rain-threatened series opener against San Diego.
Volpe remained in the game after his unsuccessful attempt for a backhand stab on Christopher Morel's eighth-inning single Saturday, which sparked a two-run rally in Tampa Bay's 3-2 win. An X-ray and MRI were negative.
