Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged before the Yankees played the Reds in The Bronx that the No. 1 spot in the lineup is a “fluid situation.”
Anthony Volpe entered play mired in a deep slump that had turned his breakout season into what statistically had been a middling one.
Boone wants his leadoff hitter — who sets the table for two superstars in Juan Soto and Aaron Judge , who entered action as the best on-base machines in baseball — to reach often so he can be driven in.In his first 75 games atop the order, Volpe hit just .242 with a .294 OBP with four home runs. If not Volpe, who? In a struggling Yankees lineup, Boone does not like the idea of bumping up Soto to leadoff and hitting Judge second.
