Overview

  • Volpe was benched for Sunday’s series finale against the Red Sox after a 1-for-28 slide and a rough August at the plate.
  • The shortstop said he will also sit Monday against the Nationals and expects to return after that.
  • Asked if Volpe would be back immediately, Boone said “We’ll see,” indicating his playing time is a day-to-day decision.
  • Volpe’s defense has slipped, with an AL-leading 17 errors and a -7 Outs Above Average this season.
  • Caballero started at shortstop and has provided a utility option, hitting .320/.433/.600 over his first 14 games with New York.
