NEW YORK (AP) — Anthony Volpe didn’t start at shortstop for the New York Yankees for a second straight game Monday night, but manager Aaron Boone said Volpe will return to the lineup Tuesday and remains the team’s starter at the position.

“Just hopefully a little blow in the grind of the season is something that serves him well down the stretch,” Boone said.

José Caballero started again at shortstop Monday for the Yankees, who hosted the Washington Nationals in the opener of a three-game series. Boone said he expected Volpe, who entered as a defensive replacement in the eighth inning of Sunday’s 7-2 win over Boston, to get into the game in some capacity Monday.

“I view Cappy getting a lot of run in a lot of different spots,” Boone said. “I view Anthony as our shortstop.”
