Notably, Volpe has improved his plate discipline, posting a career-best 10% walk rate and a 20.7% chase rate. His average exit velocity has climbed to 90.7 mph, with a hard-hit rate of 46.3%, reflecting a more consistent and powerful offensive approach.

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe was not in the lineup against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday after being hit in the left elbow by Walker Buehler's pitch.

Still, the team is playing it safe, with Oswald Peraza expected to cover shortstop duties for the foreseeable future. Oddly, Jazz Chisholm, who is coming off a great Friday night, was also out of the lineup Saturday with Pablo Reyes playing this base.
