Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that he doesn't think Volpe (shoulder) will be able to start any of the Yankees' games against Boston this weekend, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Volpe received a cortisone shot in his shoulder Wednesday, and while he could be available off the bench at some point over the weekend, he isn't expected to be part of the starting nine until Monday at the earliest. Jose Caballero should serve as the Yankees' primary option at shortstop during the series.

Pena is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

Pena will get the night off after making 24 consecutive starts at shortstop. He went 24-for-101 (.238) with two home runs, seven doubles and three stolen bases during that stretch. Mauricio Dubon will bat ninth and play shortstop Friday.

Volpe (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in Boston.

Volpe received a cortisone shot Wednesday for a nagging left shoulder injury and will miss a third straight start. It's unclear whether he'll be available off the bench, but he's not expected to need a stint on the 10-day injured list. Jose Caballero will again play shortstop for the Yankees on Friday.

Arias (wrist) will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Friday's game versus the White Sox.

Arias was forced to miss the last three contests with right wrist inflammation, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Friday's series opener. With Arias at shortstop, Brayan Rocchio will shift back to second base for the Guardians.

Brito will be sidelined for 8-to-12 weeks after undergoing surgery to repair his left hamstring, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Brito came into spring training with a chance to win the Guardians' second-base job, but he spent all season in the minors and was limited to only 24 games at Triple-A Columbus due to thumb and now hamstring surgeries. The 23-year-old should be ready to report to spring training without any restrictions.

Winokur slashed .226/.304/.388 with 17 home runs, 26 steals, an 8.3 percent walk rate and a 24.8 percent strikeout rate in 122 games for High-A Cedar Rapids.

Winokur split his age-20 season between shortstop and center field, which highlights his athleticism and upside. His slash line doesn't jump off the page, but he was almost a league average hitter (97 wRC+) despite being young for the level and getting bad luck on balls in play (.275 BABIP). The 6-foot-6, 210-pound Winokur cut his strikeout rate from 28 percent at Single-A in 2024 while producing an identical walk rate against better competition. Winokur is still a free swinger and refinement will be needed in the coming years, but he retains monster power potential and has stolen 49 bases over the past two years. Even after a full year in the Midwest League, Winokur will head to the Arizona Fall League to cap his 2025 season.

Montgomery went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Thursday against the Rays.

Montgomery got the White Sox on the board with a two-run single in the first inning, bringing his total to 21 RBI in his last 20 starts. He's continued to exhibit an all-or-nothing approach at the plate, as he's struck out 29.5 percent of the time with only a .218 average in that same 20-game span.

Meidroth went 2-for-2 with two walks and a run scored Thursday against the Rays.

Meidroth extended his hitting streak to seven games with the performance, four of which have been multi-hit efforts. He's also hit well over a more extended sample. Since returning from the injured list Aug. 15, Meidroth is hitting .333 with seven RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases across 23 games.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Thursday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Angels.

This was Crawford's third multi-hit effort in his last five games. The shortstop opened the scoring with a two-run double in the second inning and added an RBI single in the 11th to tie it at 5-5, keeping the game alive before the Mariners walked it off in the 12th. Prior to Thursday, Crawford had logged just one RBI and no extra-base hits over his previous 14 games and hadn't recorded a steal since Aug. 9 versus the Rays. On the season, he has a .263/.353/.355 slash line with nine home runs, eight steals, 50 RBI and 63 runs scored over 143 contests.

Arias (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Kansas City.

Arias is expected to play through his wrist injury to help the Guardians push for a spot in the postseason, but not before he misses a third consecutive start Thursday. Brayan Rocchio will fill in at shortstop in Arias' absence, putting Daniel Schneemann at second base and opening a spot in the lineup for George Valera to serve as Cleveland's designated hitter.
