NEW YORK — The reeling Yankees need Anthony Volpe to break out and live up to his lofty expectations, but the shortstop is busy having a disappointing third summer in pinstripes. With his 0-for-3 in Friday’s 6-5 loss to the Mets at Citi Field, the shortstop is now hitting .121 (8-for-66) in his last 19 games with 18 strikeouts.

New York Yankees fans have been clamoring for struggling shortstop Anthony Volpe to get benched amid the team's recent skid, but manager Aaron Boone was right to point out that he doesn't have a ton of other options right now.
