Volpe is the starting shortstop because the Yankees lack viable alternatives, with only Oswald Peraza and Jorbit Vivas available. Currently, Volpe's offense is below average with a 98 wRC+, and both his defense and baserunning have significantly declined. The team faces difficulties, needing to improve its infield while keeping an eye on prospect costs. Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been performing well at second, and the struggles of DJ LeMahieu and Stanton further complicate the roster situation, making a turn-around from Volpe essential.
Volpe remains the starting shortstop due to a lack of competition, despite struggles in offensive performance and declining defensive and baserunning metrics.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. is performing well at second base while the team faces challenges needing to remodel the infield without risking prospect capital.
