Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Volpe will play second base in addition to shortstop at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Volpe was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Monday's loss to the Cardinals. The 25-year-old has not seen any action at a position other than shortstop since he played three games at third base and two at second base in A-ball in 2021, but Volpe increasing his versatility could be his best chance to contribute in the majors later this season.
