Anthony Volpe Benched by Yankees Amidst Severe Slump and League-High Errors

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe was benched for Sunday's series finale against the Boston Red Sox, with Jose Caballero starting in his place. The decision by manager Aaron Boone stems from Volpe's significant offensive struggles, as he is mired in a 1-for-28 slump, batting just .153 since June 14, and leads the majors with 17 errors. Volpe, who is hitting .208 with 18 homers and 65 RBIs this season, had gone hitless in his last 10 at-bats against the Red Sox and had not started for only the fifth time all year.
