Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Volpe will "probably" bat ninth in Thursday's season opener versus the Giants, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Even though Volpe pushed his way on to the Opening Day roster following a huge spring, it's no surprise that he'll begin his MLB career at the bottom of the batting order. He will have the potential to work his way up, of course, possibly even seeing time in the leadoff spot on days DJ LeMahieu is sitting. While the No. 9 assignment hurts Volpe's outlook from a run-scoring and run-producing perspective, he still has upside to be a fantasy difference-maker from the bottom of the lineup.
