Aaron Boone finally seems resigned to Yankees’ brutal Anthony Volpe reality
NY Post
For the better part of five-plus months this season, Aaron Boone has been Anthony Volpe’s staunchest defender, often to a fault.
On Wednesday, as he started José Caballero at shortstop in place of the struggling Volpe, the Yankees manager finally sounded a bit more resigned to reality.
Boone described the shortstop situation as “day to day.” He said the Yankees would decide who would start Thursday’s series finale after Wednesday’s game. He admitted he was surprised that Volpe had not yet found more sustained success offensively in his third year as a big leaguer.
And a day after saying he still viewed Volpe as the Yankees shortstop, he hedged more when asked if that was still the case.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
