Homers, steals base in win Volpe went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Athletics.

Impact Volpe slugged a leadoff homer in his first at-bat to increase New York's lead to three runs and drew a free pass his second time around before swiping his 27th bag of the campaign. The shortstop has now tallied two RBI in back-to-back contests while also hitting safely in three straight. The long ball was his 12th of the campaign and his first since Aug. 3 against the Blue Jays.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Three hits, two RBI in win Volpe went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Athletics.

Impact Volpe had gone just 5-for-44 (.114) while striking out 15 times over a 13-game span between multi-hit efforts. Two of his singles Friday plated a run, including an insurance run in the 10th inning. His September slump has taken a toll on his overall numbers, which are now at a 2.48/.295/.369 slash line with 11 home runs, 57 RBI, 88 runs scored and 26 stolen bases through 152 contests. Still, he's not at risk of losing his near-everyday role at shortstop.

Impact Volpe's two-run single in the eighth inning gave the Yankees a 4-1 lead, but the bullpen faltered over the last two innings. This was Volpe's fourth multi-hit effort over his last eight games, and he's batting .414 (12-for-29) with seven RBI in that span. The shortstop is up to 26 steals on 31 attempts this year while adding 11 home runs, 54 RBI, 84 runs scored and a .255/.305/.387 slash line through 138 contests.

Notches 25th steal Volpe went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Nationals on Wednesday.

Impact The Yankees were mostly quieted by MacKenzie Gore and a trio of Washington relievers, but Volpe did well in collecting a pair of hits. The shortstop also recorded a stolen base, giving him 25 on the season -- one more than he recorded as a rookie last year. In additional to the theft total, Volpe has improved his batting average from .209 to .252 and reduced his strikeout rate from 27.8 percent to 22.0 percent, though he's also displayed less power, as he has just 11 homers through 133 games after going deep 21 times in 159 contests in 2023.

Volpe's 24th stolen base tied his total from last season, doing it in 28 fewer games this season.

During the streak, he's gone 6-for-18 and has belted a double in each of his past three contests. Volpe also has three thefts in his past three games and is up to 23 stolen bases on the season, one shy of his total as a rookie last year.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes two bags Tuesday Volpe went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's extra-innings loss to Cleveland.
