Aaron Boone had to come to Anthony Volpe ‘s defense following his struggles in the New York Yankees’ 4-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night. Volpe stepped up to bat three times throughout the matchup, failing to land a hit. He even committed a fielding error as he made a mistake on a throw, which proved to be costly as Toronto scored all four of their runs in the fifth inning. Boone reflected on the team’s loss after the game. He deflected criticism regarding Volpe’s mistakes throughout the season, giving the shortstop high remarks. “He’s still a top shortstop,” Boone said. Aaron Boone says “a few plays” have created the negative narrative around Anthony Volpe’s defense this season
