New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe went 3-for-4 in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Blue Jays, smacking a double and his 10th home run of the season, which extended his current hit streak to seven games. The 23-year-old has heated up since mid-July, hitting safely in 13 of his last 14 games, going 21-for-59 (.356) over that stretch including seven multi-hit efforts along with five doubles, four home runs, nine RBI. 10 runs scored, and four stolen bases. On the season, the former first-round draft pick has authored a .259-10-41-71-19 line, putting him comfortably in the top 10 at the position for fantasy.
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe went 2-for-5 Friday night with a solo home run and a single with an additional run scored in a 9-7 see-saw loss to the Boston Red Sox. 2024 looked like a promising sophomore season for the 23-year-old, but Volpe got ice-cold once the weather started to get hot. His batting average has plummeted from .282 to .252, and he's only been able to muster up two home runs since then, both being of the solo variety in the last four games. His quick success this season had him in the lead-off spot, spraying the ball to all fields, showing off some patience, and taking walks. All those qualities are in the rearview mirror at the end of July. Despite his up-and-down season, Volpe has fantasy upside and is slashing .252/.305/.384 with eight home runs, 37 RBI, 66 runs, and 18 stolen bases over 468 plate appearances.
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe extended his hitting streak in Monday afternoon's win over the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays in the Bronx, belting his seventh home run of the year. Volpe crushed a solo homer to left field to give the Yankees a 2-0 lead in the second inning, tagging Rays right-hander Zack Littell for the round-tripper. It's been a rollercoaster ride of a season for the 23-year-old former top prospect, but he's gotten back on track a bit with a current five-game hitting streak, during which he has gone 7-for-18 (.389) with four RBI and two stolen bases. Volpe should eventually work his way back into the leadoff spot for the Yankees with more performances like Monday's.
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe is being dropped to sixth in the batting order on Fourth of July on Thursday against the visiting Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Frankie Montas. First baseman Ben Rice jumps up into the leadoff spot for the matinee affair. This will be the first time since April 9 that Volpe has hit anywhere other than leadoff for the Bronx Bombers. The 23-year-old was hot to start the season but has hit a rough patch of late and has hit .211 (28-for-133) with no home runs, six doubles, three triples, six RBI, three walks, 33 strikeouts and four stolen bases in 29 games since June 1. It has dropped his season slash line to .256/.310/.384 with a .694 OPS. Volpe has only six stolen bases, but he's also scored 58 runs and 15 stolen bases to keep him relevant in all fantasy leagues. If he can get going again, Volpe should get another shot to return to leadoff duties.
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe hit his sixth home run of the season and swiped his ninth base of the season on Thursday. The 23-year-old wasted no time as he launched a lead-off home run, which ended up being the game-winning run. Then, in the second inning, he hit a single and stole second base. After struggling in his rookie season last year, the former top prospect is clearly beginning to find his footing at the major league level. Across 44 games this season, he has posted a .273/.348/.432 slash line, which is significantly higher than his .209/.283/.383 line last year. Volpe was a 20/20 player last season and is on pace to repeat that feat this season. He has also consistently batted in the leadoff spot of a great Yankees lineup behind Juan Soto and Aaron Judge, which has done wonders for his counting stats. Volpe should continue to be a mainstay in your fantasy lineup all summer and is a solid choice in DFS in any matchup.
