Story summary
The New York Yankees are experimenting with rookie infielder Anthony Volpe at third base as they prepare for the postseason. Manager Aaron Boone announced that Volpe would play third base during the team's final games before facing either the Red Sox or an AL Central opponent in the wild-card series. On Friday, September 15th, Volpe made his major league debut at third base against the Baltimore Orioles, though he did not get much action with no balls hit to him until a routine play turned into an error when a ball bounced off the bag and over his head in the ninth inning. Despite limited opportunities, Boone views this experience as valuable for Volpe's development, even if it remains unlikely that he will start at third base during the playoffs.
