New York Yankees Don't Seem to Want Anthony Volpe Back
The New York Yankees are sending a pretty clear message on Anthony Volpe.
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe could have returned for the team's four-game series against the Baltimore Orioles, but instead, the Yankees are allowing him to finish his minor-league rehab stint, which ends Monday. Manager Aaron Boone is trying to be coy when it comes to Volpe, but his comments on the situation are pretty easy to read. "We'll kind of reevaluate where we are after Sunday," Boone said .
"I don't think it hurts to have some more runway for him. Caby's (Jose Caballero) obviously playing very well for us. So I just want it to be a situation where we're giving Anthony every chance to come in and be successful but also taking note of what's going on with our club, as well.
" Translation: "We don't want Volpe to mess up the chemistry of this team right now. " Caballero has certainly been playing well in recent weeks after an absolutely horrific start. Not only does he lead all shortstops in defensive runs saved at the moment, but he has also been hitting the ball incredibly well.
Meanwhile, Volpe was last seen slashing . 212/. 272/.
