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.

Shortstop Anthony Volpe wasn’t in the New York Yankees’ starting lineup against Tampa Bay, a day after he injured his left shoulder on a dive while trying to get to a grounder

The shortstop felt a pop in his shoulder as he dove to his right in the eighth inning of Saturday’s loss to the Rays. He was in quite a bit of pain, but eventually stayed in the game after a lengthy visit with manager Aaron Boone and head athletic trainer Tim Lentych.
