Aug 12, 2025; Bronx, New York, USA; New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (11) celebrates with teammates after hitting a three run home run during the second inning against the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe might be out of the doghouse, but he's not in the starting lineup against the Washington Nationals on Monday.
Volpe, who leads the American League with 17 errors, was on the bench for the second consecutive night with José Caballero making the start at shortstop for the Yankees on Monday. Voipe was also held out of Sunday's series finale against the Boston Red Sox.
Manager Aaron Boone said the move represents more of a "reset" than reprimand of Volpe, and endorsed him as New York's regular starter.
"I view Anthony as our shortstop," Boone said Monday.
Volpe has only one hit in the last three series, going 1-for-28 during that span. He carries a .208 batting average this season with 18 home runs and 65 RBIs.
