Here’s what people have been saying about Volpe recently:
@RobTheYankee: “If Volpe has respectable numbers at the end of the season, I’d be down keeping him but probably at 2B.”
@Barishn22: “Volpe has been the best option at SS for the last two weeks. But I expect he sits tonight. He hasn’t hit LHP well recently and it’s a good chance for Cabby to get a game. I also want Cabrera at 3B tonight.”
Joe Randazzo: “Anthony Volpe didn’t have much room for failure but has played well since returning. He has a 112 wRC+ in 31 games. As the Yankees get closer to the deadline and guys start coming back from the IL, he’ll need to keep playing well.”
