The New York Yankees announced news that Anthony Volpe will be benched tonight.
The New York Yankees have revealed lineup news regarding shortstop Anthony Volpe before a matchup against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, June 23.
Manager Aaron Boone told the Talkin’ Yanks show that Volpe will be on the bench for tonight’s game. The infielder had been in the lineup for four straight games. He picked up five hits in that stretch, including two knocks in yesterday’s 5-3 loss to Detroit.
The Volpe benching likely means Jose Caballero will man shortstop. New York will face off against right-hander Casey Mize. The club has dropped three straight and four of the past five games. Carlos Rodon will take the ball for the Yankees, looking to end the skid.
