Yankees Manager Makes Anthony Volpe Statement
Ahead of their series with the Red Sox, manager Aaron Boone met with the media (h/t YES Network).
He was asked about Anthony Volpe.
Reporter: “Aaron, how are you looking at second base right now? Is it strictly Jazz, or has Volpe done enough that he can make it a platoon?”
Boone: “Yeah, it’s one of those things I’m considering. Volpe is very much in play. The platoon stuff is in play there. Obviously Jazz is just coming back from the thumb. He was able to get a couple games in. Would have liked another one or two, but the weather didn’t really cooperate this weekend. So Anthony’s put himself very much in the mix to be a part of the equation.”
Looking At Volpe
Volpe was picked in the 1st round of the 2019 MLB Draft out of high school.
He is in the middle of his fourth season at the MLB level (all with the Yankees).
The 25-year-old finished the regular season batting .245 with 54 hits, two home runs, 28 RBIs, 24 runs and 12 stolen bases in 70 games.
The Red Sox are the third-place team in the American League East with an 87-75 record.
Last season, the Yankees beat the Red Sox in three games (in the Wild Card round).
