The New York Yankees face a lineup decision for Game 1, with manager Aaron Boone considering whether to start Anthony Volpe at second base. Yahoo Sports and the New York Post both report that Volpe is in the mix for a Game 1 start against the opponent’s southpaw, Payton Tolle.
Both outlets frame the decision in terms of handedness and lineup history, suggesting that Boone may again sit Jazz Chisholm. Chisholm is described as a left-handed hitter, while Volpe is described as a right-handed hitter, creating a matchup consideration against a left-handed pitcher.
While neither source provides additional game details beyond the matchup and the benching consideration, they agree on the core point: Game 1 includes a choice at second base, and the expectation is that Volpe could start while Chisholm could be left out again depending on Boone’s determination for the matchup.
