NEW YORK (AP) — New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe left Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Angels due to bruised left foot.
Volpe fouled a ball off his foot in the second inning before fouling out. He played five more innings in rainy conditions before being replaced by Oswaldo Cabrera in the eighth after the Angels opened a 9-1 lead. Los Angeles went on to win 9-4.
The Yankees said Volpe was examined by head team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad and that X-rays were negative.
“I think he's going to be fine,” manager Aaron Boone said after the game.
In his second season after batting .209 as a rookie, Volpe is hitting .257 with 11 homers and 45 RBIs.
Volpe batted .245 before the All-Star break and is hitting .320 (24 for 75) in 18 games since the break.

FIORANO MODENESE, Italy (AP) — Lewis Hamilton waved to a crowd of waiting fans on Wednesday as he drove a Ferrari Formula 1 car for the first time since joining the Italian team for the 2025 season.
Hamilton was behind the wheel of a 2023-specification Ferrari SF-23 bearing his racing number, 44, at the team's Fiorano test track, and wore a new helmet design in yellow with a prominent Prancing Horse logo.
Hamilton has shaken up F1 with his move to Ferrari after 12 years with Mercedes, where he won six of his seven world titles. The 40-year-old British driver has said he's fulfilling a childhood dream.
“I’ve been lucky enough to have achieved things in my career I never thought possible, but part of me has always held on to that dream of racing in red. I couldn’t be happier to realize that dream today," he said Monday after arriving at Ferrari's Maranello headquarters for his first day at work with the new team.
F1 tightly restricts teams from testing current-specification cars but the rules are more loose for older cars like the SF-23 that Hamilton drove Wednesday.
