After that win, Boone declined to say whether he thought Volpe might benefit mentally from a few days off. Oswald Peraza, who has struggled offensively, and Amed Rosario, who has totaled 15 appearances at shortstop since 2024, are the Yankees’ other options.

Tuesday’s game started with Rays leadoff hitter Yandy Diaz lacing a single to right off Yankees lefthander Max Fried, then Jonathan Aranda hit a grounder right to shortstop Anthony Volpe, who was positioned just on the shortstop side of second base.
