DJ LeMahieu set to return for Yankees, Anthony Volpe to maintain leadoff spot

The Yankees veteran infielder flew to the west on Sunday night after finishing his rehab. He will be back in the game on Tuesday against the Angels. At first, he was thought to have a bone bruise, but later tests showed he actually had a non-displaced foot fracture. His rehab had a setback on April 23 due to foot soreness, but he recovered and played six games without any issues. The manager said he will be the starting third baseman, replacing Cabrera and Berti. This will make the team stronger. He will also give Rizzo and Torres some rest when needed. Torres has been good but also made some errors. The team is looking forward to having the veteran player back. Anthony Volpe has been doing well as the leadoff hitter for the Yankees. He took over the position after LeMahieu got injured and Torres didn't perform well. Volpe has been hitting impressively, with a streak of 19 games. He has shown improvement from his rookie season and has been making adjustments to his game. His ability to adapt and make changes has made him a valuable player for the team. He is expected to keep his leadoff spot even after LeMahieu returns. His consistency and hunger to improve have been praised by the manager and teammates. Volpe's hitting streak has been crucial for the team's offense. He has shown maturity and growth as a player, making adjustments when needed. His performance has been outstanding, and he has become a key player in the lineup. Despite facing tough opponents, Volpe has maintained his focus and continued to deliver for the team. His hitting streak has been compared to legendary players like Joe DiMaggio, showing his potential and talent at a young age. His teammates appreciate his hard work and dedication to the game.
