With the Yankees leading the Red Sox, 7-0, Anthony Volpe exited Friday’s game in the top of the fourth inning. The Bombers’ shortstop took a hit-by-pitch to his left elbow in the bottom of the third when Walker Buehler misfired an 88.8-mph changeup. The inside pitch came with the bases loaded and forced a runner in. It also left Volpe in some pain.
