Yankees make an interesting change at the top of their lineup
The New York Yankees will look to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds this afternoon, and in doing so they’ve made a lineup change. Instead of running Anthony Volpe back out as the leadoff hitter following a nasty slump in June, it’ll be newcomer Ben Rice setting the table for the Bronx Bombers. Volpe, who has taken a massive step forward with his glove, has crashed hard at the plate, dipping below the league average in wRC+ (99) for the first time in 2024. He could use a demotion in the lineup, but the main storyline here is how Ben Rice will adjust to being the leadoff hitter.
Today on Pinstripe Alley - 7/4/24
The Yankees haven’t gotten off to the start they were hoping for in July, dropping the first two games of their series with the Reds to open up this homestand. They’ve lost hold of first place in the division as a product of this, as the Orioles have finally gotten their act together and gained a small lead of their own. There’s still a whole second half of the season to battle it out, but the Yankees would be hard-pressed to flip things back over to the win column sooner rather than later.

Yankees giving Luis Gil another start to sort struggles out
In the span of three starts, Luis Gil went from being in the conversation to start the All-Star Game for the American League to wondering if he would stay in the Yankees’ rotation. Though he obviously won’t be an All-Star starter this month in Texas, Aaron Boone confirmed Wednesday the 26-year-old will make his next start on regular rest when the Yankees finish their homestand against the Red Sox on Sunday. Regardless of how much rest Gil gets, the Yankees have to figure out how things have gone so wrong so fast. Pitching coach Matt Blake said Wednesday that Gil is healthy, and...

Aaron Boone is turning to a surprising leadoff option for Yankees
Aaron Boone is grasping for straws to help the Yankees snap out of their recent slump. That's why he's making a seismic shift at the top of the team's batting order. Anthony Volpe is being dropped in favor of rookie Ben Rice for the team's July 4 matchup against the Reds.
Around the Empire: Yankees news - 7/4/24
New York Post | Dan Martin: Not long ago, Luis Gil was being discussed as a potential All-Star, and possibly even as the starter. However, things have taken a very bad turn over his last three starts. Gil’s going to get at least one more start to sort things out, but if he’s still struggling the Yankees will look at options to get creative, potentially even yanking him from the rotation. The bigger problem with that is that there isn’t exactly another option waiting for an opportunity. The team claims Gil is healthy and only experiencing a “normal amount” of fatigue, but Matt Blake seems to think there may be some inconsistencies in his delivery.

Anthony Volpe’s slump has Yankees in a leadoff quagmire
Anthony Volpe is in a slump that has turned his breakout season into a statistically middling one. He also is in a lineup spot that has become customary, but his hold on batting leadoff appears to be slipping. Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged before the Yankees lost to the Reds, 3-2, in The Bronx on Wednesday that the No. 1 spot in the lineup is a “fluid situation.” Volpe has owned that slot since a quick first few weeks of the season helped him claim the leadoff spot beginning on April 10. The righty-hitting Volpe was atop a righty-heavy lineup (that featured J.D. Davis...
