It’s been a roller-coaster season for the second-year shortstop, who got off to a stellar start at the plate.
Anthony Volpe has looked like a different hitter for the last month — the month since he was bumped from the leadoff spot.
Not surprisingly, Aaron Boone said Sunday he’d prefer not to move Volpe again, which is why Volpe was seventh in the lineup against the Blue Jays.For now, though, Volpe remains elsewhere in the lineup, with Gleyber Torres back at leadoff Sunday after being benched Friday for a lack of hustle. With the season less than two weeks old, Volpe was shifted to the top of the lineup, to shaky results.
“It’s a result of him being in a stronger position more consistently so he can fire that swing, along with better swing decisions,’’ Boone said.
