Yankees Announce Volpe Change
For Saturday’s game, the Yankees have announced their starting lineup.
Via Underdog MLB: “Yankees 7/25 A. Rosario 3B B. Rice DH P. Goldschmidt 1B C. Bellinger LF T. Grisham CF J. Domínguez RF J. Chisholm Jr. 2B J. Caballero SS A. Wells C R. Weathers SP”
A. Rosario 3B B. Rice DH P. Goldschmidt 1B C. Bellinger LF T. Grisham CF J. Domínguez RF J. Chisholm Jr. 2B J. Caballero SS A. Wells C
R. Weathers SP
Volpe has been removed from the lineup on Saturday.
The 25-year-old shortstop is batting .242 with 36 hits, one home run, 15 RBIs, 18 runs and seven stolen bases in 49 games this year.
He is in his fourth season in the MLB (all with the Yankees).
Despite being a former top prospect, Volpe’s future with the Yankees has remained a constant debate.
He won a Gold Glove as a rookie (and helped the franchise reach the World Series in 2024).
Brandon Tierney wrote (on Saturday): “Once Lombard is summoned to the Bronx, he’s the SS. Cabby can bounce around to 5 positions in a pinch. Volpe is limited to 1 position. More and more, feeling like the Yanks will trade Volpe.”
