4 days agoNew York Yankees infielder
Anthony Volpe joined in on the fun during Saturday's blowout win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Volpe was quiet at the plate outside of his three-run home run in the second inning. It was an ugly day on the mound for the Brewers pitchers who gave up 20 runs. Volpe finished the game 1-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI on that homer. The Yankees are hopeful that Volpe can take a step forward at the plate this season. The young shortstop has plenty of pop in that bat and should be rostered in most fantasy formats.

7 months agoNew York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that infielder
Oswaldo Cabrera will start at shortstop on Tuesday night against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander
Bryan Woo at T-Mobile Park, with shortstop
Anthony Volpe getting the day off. Volpe could certainly use a mental break, as he's gone 8-for-49 (.163) with four RBI, one walk and 17 strikeouts in 14 games so far in the month of September. Since Sept. 8, he has just two hits in 27 plate appearances with nine strikeouts to drop his season line to .246/.294/.369 in 649 plate appearances. Cabrera will likely hit near the bottom of the Yankees' batting order, making him an unattractive DFS sleeper play on Tuesday in a tough matchup. The 25-year-old has hit .249 (70-for-281) on the year with eight homers and 35 RBI. Cabrera doesn't have a hit in either of his two career at-bats against Woo.

7 months agoNew York Yankees shortstop
Anthony Volpe is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This appears to be a routine rest day for Volpe who has started in three straight games. The 23-year-old is in a bit of a slump as he's 2-for-15 over his last four games. In his place,
Oswaldo Cabrera will cover shortstop and bat eighth versus right-hander
Brady Singer. Cabrera has been quiet with the bat lately and won't be an ideal streaming option against a tough pitcher on Monday. Fantasy managers should expect Volpe to be back in the lineup after this game.

7 months agoNew York Yankees shortstop
Anthony Volpe went 2-for-4 with a single, double and two stolen bases in Tuesday's victory versus the Cleveland Guardians. Volpe has been ice-cold of late with just five hits over his previous 46 at-bats with no stolen bases entering the contest, but he was able to show what he was capable with a strong performance Tuesday evening. The young shortstop has been a rollercoaster on the season, as at times showing his ability to help across the board and other times, being in long slumps that make him frustrating to start. Overall, Volpe is now hitting .249 with 11 homers, 47 RBI and 22 stolen bases and the hope is Tuesday's big game can help him turn things around down the stretch.
