Anthony Volpe's Struggles Lead to Consideration for Time Off

Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe is facing significant struggles both at the plate and in the field, prompting manager Aaron Boone to consider giving him a day off soon. Volpe's batting average remains at .209, matching his rookie season, and he has recently slashed .127/.179/.254 over his last 18 games. Additionally, his defense has regressed with 16 errors this season and a recent mental error in Friday's game, though he still ranks eighth among qualified shortstops in defensive runs saved.
