Anthony Volpe To Get The Day Off On Tuesday
4 weeks agoNew York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that infielder Oswaldo Cabrera will start at shortstop on Tuesday night against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Bryan Woo at T-Mobile Park, with shortstop Anthony Volpe getting the day off. Volpe could certainly use a mental break, as he's gone 8-for-49 (.163) with four RBI, one walk and 17 strikeouts in 14 games so far in the month of September. Since Sept. 8, he has just two hits in 27 plate appearances with nine strikeouts to drop his season line to .246/.294/.369 in 649 plate appearances. Cabrera will likely hit near the bottom of the Yankees' batting order, making him an unattractive DFS sleeper play on Tuesday in a tough matchup. The 25-year-old has hit .249 (70-for-281) on the year with eight homers and 35 RBI. Cabrera doesn't have a hit in either of his two career at-bats against Woo.
