Slumping Rookie Sensation Anthony Volpe Sits Out Key Matchup Amid Batting Woes

Aaron Boone, manager of the New York Yankees, benched Volpe for a game against their rival Boston Red Sox due to his poor hitting as of late.
Volpe has just one hit in his last 14 at-bats and his batting average has dropped to .186, its lowest point since April.
With star players Aaron Judge and Harrison Bader injured and Anthony Rizzo also struggling at the plate, the Yankees lineup needs its remaining players to perform well.
Boone says he remains confident Volpe can overcome this slump given his strong season overall, including nine home runs and clutch hits to win games.
If Volpe continues to struggle, the Yankees could call up prospect Oswald Peraza to replace him at shortstop, though Peraza has also hit poorly recently.
