Volpe went 2-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Tuesday's 11-4 win over the Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series. Volpe's third-inning grand slam turned the tide for the Yankees and helped prevent a World Series sweep. Gleyber Torres and Austin Wells added additional home runs as the Yankees cruised to a big win. New York will attempt to stay alive and force a return to Los Angeles with a win in Game 5.

Volpe went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Athletics. Volpe slugged a leadoff homer in his first at-bat to increase New York's lead to three runs and drew a free pass his second time around before swiping his 27th bag of the campaign. The shortstop has now tallied two RBI in back-to-back contests while also hitting safely in three straight. The long ball was his 12th of the campaign and his first since Aug. 3 against the Blue Jays.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Volpe will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Seattle. Oswaldo Cabrera will draw the start at shortstop while Volpe gets a break. Volpe is slashing a woeful .163/.177/.163 with a 17:1 K:BB over 14 contests so far in September.

Volpe went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Nationals on Wednesday. The Yankees were mostly quieted by MacKenzie Gore and a trio of Washington relievers, but Volpe did well in collecting a pair of hits. The shortstop also recorded a stolen base, giving him 25 on the season -- one more than he recorded as a rookie last year. In additional to the theft total, Volpe has improved his batting average from .209 to .252 and reduced his strikeout rate from 27.8 percent to 22.0 percent, though he's also displayed less power, as he has just 11 homers through 133 games after going deep 21 times in 159 contests in 2023.
