Yankees receive slightly worrying Anthony Volpe injury update at Triple-A originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The New York Yankees have been struggling to figure out their shortstop and third base position this season, as Jose Cabellero, Ryan McMahon, Anthony Volpe, and recently George Lombard Jr. have all been getting opportunities on the left side of the infield.Of those four, Volpe is the one down in Triple-A right now, working his way back, but not from injury, but rather from his struggles in the Majors this season, with a .647 OPS not being good enough.Unfortunately, according to Jorge Castillo of ESPN, the Yankees now do have to worry about Volpe because he sustained a forearm injury after getting hit by a pitch during Wednesday's Triple-A game.Anthony Volpe has a forearm injury after getting hit by a pitch"Anthony Volpe left last night's game in Triple-A with a right forearm contusion, a source tells ESPN," Castillo reports. "He was hit by a pitch in the fourth inning and initially stayed in the game, stealing a base and lining out in his next at-bat before he exited in the sixth inning."This update from Castillo on Volpe is a little bit worrying, as he's now dealing with a left forearm contusion following a hit-by-pitch.But, if there's one thing Yankees fans can breathe a sigh of relief over, it's that he stayed in the game initially. He would not have been able to stay in the game if it were a more severe injury.MORE:Yankees predicted to get Aaron Judge back soon, but with a catchIt wasn't just running the bases either, which is something a forearm injury wouldn't impact. He actually took another at-bat before leaving the game.There is still reason to worry, as any injury is always something that should be treated carefully. In Volpe's case, this forearm issue might not last a while, but it's going to impact him long enough to make a return to the big leagues a bit of a question mark.In 41 games in the minor leagues this season, he has an .803 OPS, which includes an impressive .856 OPS in 32 games at Triple-A.As the Yankees try to figure out their left side of the infield, they now have to factor in Volpe's left forearm contusion, which hopefully shouldn't be a long-lasting issue.More MLB news:Jose Berrios extremely unlikely to opt out of $48 million deal with Blue JaysBo Bichette likely not to opt out of Mets $42 million contractHow Reds' Sal Stewart has MLB history on his side for NL Rookie of the Year awardKevin McGonigle is runaway favorite to win AL Rookie of the Year for TigersPhillies' Jesus Luzardo on track to be best road pitcher in MLB history since 1913
