Anthony Volpe Demoted to Minors Following Hitting Slump

The Yankees have demoted shortstop Anthony Volpe to the minor leagues after he struggled during his rehab assignment, hitting just .250 with one home run and six RBIs across 13 games. Currently mired in a 1-for-11 slide, Volpe must now earn back his starting role from José Caballero. The organization views the move as a necessary step to help Volpe regain his rhythm at the plate away from the intense major league spotlight in the Bronx.
