Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe may have avoided the worst during Saturday's game against the Rays -- at least that's the initial diagnosis.
With the Yankees up 2-1 in the eighth, Volpe ranged to his right on a grounder hit in the hole between short and third base. Volpe dove for the grounder, but his left shoulder slammed into the ground on the attempt. The third-year Yankee stayed on the ground for a noticeably long time as manager Aaron Boone and the trainers came out to tend to their infielder.
Aaron Judge and other members of the Yankees surrounded Volpe as the trainer put him through a series of tests on the field.
