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.

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.

Through 61 games, Volpe is hitting .241 with eight home runs, 37 RBIs, and seven stolen bases. His on-base percentage is .321, and his slugging percentage is .445.

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.
