ANTHONY VOLPE NEWS

Coming alive at plate Volpe went 4-for-8 with a triple, three runs and an RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against St. Louis.

Impact Volpe collected a pair of hits in each contest, and he's now logged five straight multi-hit performances. The rookie shortstop has increased his season batting average from .195 to .220 over that span while striking out just twice over 21 plate appearances. The Yankees have remained committed to giving Volpe near-everyday playing time even during his periods of struggle, and that commitment appears to be paying off given his recent surge.

Fans five times in twin bill Volpe went 0-for-7 with five strikeouts and a stolen base across both games of a doubleheader against Boston on Sunday.

Impact Volpe batted out of the No. 9 spot in each contest, and he saw his season average drop to .189 with the 0-for-7 line. The rookie shortstop had curtailed his strikeout rate a bit coming into Sunday, having fanned just four times over his previous 23 plate appearances, but his overall 30.9 percent strikeout rate on the campaign is a concern. Volpe did at least manage a steal in the nightcap, giving him 15 on the season, but even that category has dried up for him of late -- Sunday's theft was just his second in his past 31 contests.

Demotion not being considered Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in an interview on the Talkin' Yanks podcast Tuesday that demoting Volpe to the minor leagues is not something the team has talked about.

Impact "What I'm seeing is in my opinion a guy that is still helping us win games but I'm confident will continue to be in the middle of helping us win games," Boone said. The manager's statement isn't surprising, as you wouldn't really expect him to acknowledge that sending Volpe down was being considered even if it were the case. Hopefully, though, it serves as a much-needed vote of confidence for the rookie following a dreadful start to June which has dropped his season batting line down to .186/.260/.345. For what it's worth, Volpe's potential replacement, Oswald Peraza, is hitting .311/.384/.597 with 10 homers and seven steals in 28 games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
