Hal Steinbrenner isn’t worried about Anthony Volpe’s struggles at the plate.
The Yankees owner said Tuesday the team has not considered sending the rookie shortstop to the minors amid a dreadful stretch that has seen his slash line fall to .189/.260/.345 over 67 games, with nine home runs and 14 stolen bases.
“I’ve had zero conversations about that,” Steinbrenner said at the owners’ meeting Tuesday in Manhattan. “I think defensively he’s been pretty solid. Pitchers have adjusted to him, now he’s going to have some adjustments to make himself. I don’t think any of this is out of the ordinary.”
