Anthony Volpe Steals His 11th Base Friday

New York Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe still hasn't been thrown out on the base paths in 2023. Volpe went 2-for-5 as the leadoff hitter in the team's 5-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays and stole his 11th base of the season.

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Jorge Mateo is batting leadoff on Friday against left-hander Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves, while outfielder Austin Hays (finger) misses another contest.
