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.

Designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (elbows), starting pitcher Luis Gil (lat), and swingman Marcus Stroman (knee) remain out indefinitely. Former All-Star third baseman DJ LeMahieu (calf and hip) is on a rehab assignment at Double-A Somerset.
