Boone Out of Touch: Still Clings to Volpe as Yankees Shortstop

Aaron Boone continues to stand by Anthony Volpe as the Yankees’ starting shortstop, despite his ongoing struggles at the plate and in the field. After giving Volpe a brief two-day reset, Boone confirmed that he still views him as the team’s everyday option. Critics argue this loyalty has hurt the Yankees’ momentum, pointing to cleaner play in Volpe’s absence and his continued struggles at the plate. With September call-ups looming, fans are questioning how long Boone’s stubborn defense of Volpe can last as the Yankees fight to stay in contention.
