Yankees' Anthony Volpe sits out against Tigers due to matchup

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced that shortstop Anthony Volpe will not play against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday evening. Despite an impressive hitting streak of eight games, Volpe will be on the bench as the Yankees seek to rebound from a 5-3 loss in the series opener. Boone cited the matchup against Tigers' starting pitcher Casey Mize as a factor in the decision. Volpe has shown improvement this season, batting.269 with one home run and six stolen bases, and appears to be recovering well from offseason labrum surgery.
