yankees volpe benched.

Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe was benched Sunday night for the finale of a critical four-game series against the rival Boston Red Sox. Following a 7-2 victory that prevented a four-game sweep, Volpe said he won’t start Monday night against Washington, either, but he expects to return to the lineup “after that.” Volpe is mired in a 1-for-28 slump and leads the American League with 17 errors. New York started recently acquired utlityman José Caballero at shortstop Sunday night. Volpe entered on defense in the eighth inning, and Caballero moved to right field. Volpe is hitting .208 with 18 homers and 65 RBIs in 129 games this season. He has started 125 at shortstop and was not in the starting lineup for only the fifth time all year.
