Volpe and Chisholm Jr. back for Yankees in series finale
Volpe and Chisholm Jr. back for Yankees in series finale originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Yankees will welcome back two key players as they prepare for Sunday night's series finale against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm Jr. are set to be back in the lineup after limited roles in Saturday's game. Advertisement Volpe, who missed most of Friday's game after being hit in the elbow by a pitch, was used late in Saturday's game. His return to the starting lineup is a relief after he gave Yankees fans a big scare. The young infielder has been a workhorse for the Yankees throughout his career, rarely missing a start and showing improvements at the plate. Jazz Chisholm Jr., who has been sidelined with an oblique injury for nearly a month, also appeared as a late substitute on Saturday. He had a scheduled day off Saturday as part of his workload management, but is now ready to return to full action. Chisholm's dynamic presence both offensively and defensively will be a welcome boost for the Yankees as they face one of their division rivals on national TV.

His on-base percentage is .321, and his slugging percentage is .445. Advertisement In his first 35 games of the 2025 season, Chisholm is hitting .220 with nine home runs, 23 RBIs, and nine stolen bases, contributing to an OPS of .785. Their defense is also a huge upgrade, which was made obvious last night. Pablo Reyes was limited at third base in Saturday night's loss. The Yankees look to close out the series with a win after splitting the first two games.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. pushes back at Hunter Dobbins' Yankees remark
Jazz Chisholm Jr. pushes back at Hunter Dobbins' Yankees remark originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Before Sunday night's series finale at Yankee Stadium, Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. was asked about Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins' sharp words. The right-hander who is scheduled to start the finale told the Boston Herald that he'd retire if the Yankees were the last team to offer him a contract. Advertisement Chisholm acknowledged the shade. 'I don't think I would ever say it. I think it closes doors. But I like it though,' Chisholm told reporters. Chisholm is known for expressing himself and he certainly wasn't going to condemn another player for doing so. The comment, however, also shows that he wouldn't let some rookie talk trash without a response. New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Penner-Imagn Images Earlier in the day, Chisholm had promised there would be "smoke," at 7. "I think there should be more trash talk in baseball!!! Anyone agrees!? Anyway free smoke at 7," he tweeted Sunday afternoon. As Dobbins prepares to start his first career game against the Yankees in this storied rivalry, his bold words will put a bullseye on his back. Some players think that playing in the Bronx is a little tougher than, say, Tropicana Field or the Rogers Centre. Advertisement Dobbins will not experience that first-hand -- times 10. Coming off a scheduled day off after a month-long oblique injury, Chisholm is back in the lineup. That first at-bat between Chisholm and Dobbins should be a must-watch. It's the kind of verbal sparring Yankees fans -- and Chisholm -- have been missing in baseball. A little trash talk and an edge between hated rivals add a little spice to this Sunday night game.

Judge slams Red Sox rookie with subtle response
Judge slams Red Sox rookie with subtle response originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Aaron Judge had two responses to Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins' silly comments about never wanting to play for the New York Yankees. Advertisement The first was loud, crushing a home run off Dobbins 436 feet in his first at-bat. Then Judge reminded Dobbins that he has a long way to go before anyone cares what he thinks about playing in New York. Judge said he only heard about Dobbins' remarks shortly before a game when ESPN analyst Eduardo Perez brought it up. 'I really didn't hear about it until, I think, Eduardo Perez told me before the game, but I've only heard Ken Griffey Jr. say that. So, I'm a little surprised by that," Judge told reporters. Griffey is a Hall of Famer; he can say what he wants. Dobbins is a promising young pitcher for the Boston Red Sox who needs to remember his place. Advertisement Dobbins told the Boston Herald, 'If the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I'd retire.'

But Judge is old school, and it obviously rubbed him the wrong way. When asked whether Dobbins' comments were in his mind when he crushed a home run off him in his first at-bat, Judge didn't hesitate. 'Well, yeah, when somebody tells you, yeah,' Judge replied with a smile, clearly fueled by the moment. Despite Judge's big moment, Dobbins earned the win for the Red Sox, showing poise on the mound even as the verbal back-and-forth played out. Advertisement The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry had gotten a little stale in recent years. Dobbing comments might have been ill-advised, especially in the eyes of his agent, but they added some spice to the series. Judge's response on and off the field sent a clear message: words only matter if you can back them up on the field.
