NEW YORK -- Shortstop Anthony Volpe sat out Sunday for the New York Yankees' 7-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, a day after he injured his left shoulder on a dive while trying to get to a grounder.
"X-rays, MRI -- good news," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "He's sore today, but I feel like we're probably in a good spot. We'll see. Kind of day to day right now."
Volpe remained in the game after his unsuccessful attempt for a backhand stab on Christopher Morel's eighth-inning single, which sparked a two-run rally in Tampa Bay's 3-2 win Saturday.
Volpe said after the game he heard a pop in the shoulder.
"It's a little unclear in there. He's got some stuff that they feel like is older stuff, so hard to know exactly," Boone said. "He's definitely a little cranky in the shoulder today."
Volpe, 24, is hitting .233 with five homers, 19 RBIs and four stolen bases in his third season with the Yankees.
Oswald Peraza started at shortstop, batting ninth, and went 1-for-3 with a walk Sunday.
New York already is missing second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. (strained right oblique), third baseman DJ LeMahieu (strained left calf), ace Gerrit Cole (Tommy John surgery) and right-hander Luis Gil (right lat strain), the reigning AL Rookie of the Year.
