Through four rehab games with the Yankees' Double-A Somerset Patriots, shortstop Anthony Volpe has his first multihit performance.
In Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies' Reading Fightin Phils, Volpe's 2-for-4 afternoon started with a first-inning single.
Volpe followed third baseman and top prospect Greg Lombard Jr.'s leadoff home run against Zack Wheeler by sending a 1-0 offering back up the middle.

After an inning-ending flyout to left field in the third and a one-out lineout to shortstop two frames later, Volpe led off the seventh with a single through the middle against Luke Russo.
Following Volpe's second knock, which had an exit velocity of 104.2 mph, he stole second base.
Through 11 at-bats with Somerset since last Tuesday, Volpe (left shoulder surgery recovery) has four hits -- all singles -- and three strikeouts. He has two stolen bases and one walk.
