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.

Volpe went through a battery of on-field strength tests before staying in the game, then underwent an X-ray at Yankee Stadium that he said came back clean.

New York Yankees starting shortstop Anthony Volpe received a major update after suffering a recent injury scare. While the reigning Pennant winners are off to an uneven start, they are still in first place in the AL East.
