He's hitting .186/.260/.345.While the rookie is struggling, the team has no plans of sending him down to Triple-A. Hal Steinbrenner told Volpe that he was the team's starting shortstop when the season started.

How is that helping the team win? I think a short stay in Scranton will help him clear his head and find his swing.1@TalkinYanks Volpe made the last out in the last 2 games with an opportunity to affect the outcome of each game.

They think he's a detriment to the team right now.New York Yankees are committed to Anthony VolpeNew York Yankees v Los Angeles DodgersIt's clear that the New York Yankees are sticking with Anthony Volpe as the team's starting shortstop. They were ready for the rookie to hit some lows during the season.The lows have made Volpe one of the worst hitters in baseball. His .186 batting average ranks him 160th compared to eligible hitters in the league. Volpe will have to turn it around soon to get some fans back on his side.Fortunately, Volpe has been down this same road. He struggled with a .170 batting average to start Double-A but turned it around to finish off the season, hitting .281. Volpe has a ton of time and the ability to turn this around. All he needs to do is see a couple of hits land to raise his confidence and turn it around.All eyes will be on him during the next few weeks. If he continues struggling as he has been, fans will come unglued.
