Shortstop Anthony Volpe hopes to return to the New York Yankees’ starting lineup for Monday’s series opener against San Diego after missing a 7-5 loss to Tampa Bay Volpe hurt his left shoulder on a dive trying to get to a grounder in the eighth inning of Saturday’s 3-2 defeat to the Rays.

The veteran infielder would figure to get playing time at second base, given Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s oblique strain, which will keep the lefty-hitting second baseman out of the Yankees' lineup for the next four-to-six weeks.

Volpe, 24, enters Sunday hitting .233/.326/.442 (119 OPS+) with five home runs, 19 runs batted in, and four stolen bases (albeit on seven attempts). His contributions have been worth an estimated 1.5 Wins Above Replacement, according to Baseball Reference's calculations.
