He had a cortisone shot last week, his second this season, and returned to action as a defensive replacement in the eighth inning of New York&#8217;s 7-0 loss Monday. In Tuesday&#8217;s 10-9 win, he was in the lineup at shortstop and batted eighth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like he&#8217;s in a good place physically,&#8221; New York manager Aaron Boone said before the game. &#8220;With that being said, that&#8217;s been the case most of the year. So, he&#8217;s just got to focus on what he does up at the plate and put himself in position to make good swing decisions, and hopefully click for him right away.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Volpe aggravated the injury on Sept. 7 when he made a diving stop in a game against AL East-leading Toronto. He originally injured the shoulder in May and had a cortisone shot during the All-Star break.<\/p>\n<p>The Associated Press contributed to this report. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MINNEAPOLIS &#8212; Anthony Volpe returned to the New York Yankees&#8216; starting lineup on Tuesday, finishing 2-for-4 with a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":148884,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-148883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
