Overview

  • Anthony Volpe did not start Sunday against Boston or Monday against Washington, with José Caballero opening at shortstop both games.
  • Aaron Boone said, “I view Anthony as our shortstop,” and confirmed Volpe will be back in the lineup Tuesday and used regularly.
  • Volpe is in a 1-for-28 skid and has 17 errors, drawing boos at Yankee Stadium during a prolonged downturn on both sides of the ball.
  • He is batting .208/.274/.400 with 18 home runs, 65 RBIs and 15 steals this season across 129 games.
  • New York sits in the second AL wild-card spot, adding urgency to Boone’s short-term lineup decisions.
