Anthony Volpe To Get The Day Off On Tuesday

Volpe Has Been Sent Back Down To Triple-A

The New York Yankees have optioned shortstop Anthony Volpe back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the team announced on Tuesday. Volpe, 21, has struggled at the plate since being called up to the majors in August, batting just .111 with 13 strikeouts in 36 at-bats. The Yankees are hoping that a stint in the minors will help Volpe get his swing back on track.

Peraza To Start At Shortstop

With Volpe being sent down, Oswald Peraza will take over as the Yankees' starting shortstop again. Peraza, 22, has been one of the Yankees' most impressive rookies this season, batting .305 with four home runs and 19 RBIs in 66 games. He is also a strong defender at shortstop.

Volpe Still A Top Prospect

Despite his struggles at the plate, Volpe is still considered one of the top prospects in baseball. He was ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the Yankees' system by MLB Pipeline before the season began. Volpe is a five-tool player with a great all-around skill set. The Yankees are confident that he will eventually develop into a star at the major league level.

Yankees Hopeful For Volpe's Future

The Yankees are hopeful that Volpe will be able to use his time in the minors to make some adjustments and come back to the majors as a better player. He is still young and has a lot of potential. The Yankees believe that he can be a key part of their future.
