Anthony Volpe Jumps Up To Leadoff Spot Wednesday
7 months agoNew York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe is starting at the 6 and is in the leadoff spot on Wednesday versus left-hander Ryan Weathers and the visiting Miami Marlins. Volpe hasn't hit higher than sixth or seventh in the batting order to this point in 2024, but he'll flip with second baseman Gleyber Torres in this one (Torres is hitting sixth). The 22-year-old youngster held his own in his rookie campaign in 2023 and has been even better so far in his sophomore season, going 15-for-40 (.375) with three doubles, two home runs, six RBI, three stolen bases and 10 runs scored in the first 11 games of the year to earn a move up to the leadoff spot. Volpe will probably see more time atop the Yankees' batting order if he continues to rake, which would be music to fantasy managers' ears in all formats.
