The fan appeared to say something in Volpe’s direction as he was being taken off by security.
“I was pretty startled by it all, but I thought the stadium security did a great job and got him out of there,” Volpe said.
Kyle Higashioka started a third straight game behind the plate on Saturday, catching Clarke Schmidt for the first time since May 31.Boone said Jose Trevino, who had caught each of Schmidt’s last six starts, was OK physically and will catch Gerrit Cole on Sunday in the series finale. While the Yankees like both catchers’ defense, Higashioka has been more productive at the plate, especially of late.“Higgy’s been swinging the bat pretty well for an extended period now,” Boone said. “They both are so good behind the plate. But I do like the way Higgy’s been swinging the bat. He’s been one of those guys that I feel like has hit a lot of balls hard for outs. He hasn’t had a lot of good luck on his side, but has still been getting some decent results.
Jake Bauers will not come off the injured list on Sunday when he’s first eligible, but he should not be out much longer. Boone said the outfielder is getting “really close.” “I think he feels like he’s ready to go now,” Boone said. “So he’ll really ramp up baseball activities the next couple days and then we’ll be close to either sending him out [on a rehab assignment] or doing what we have to do.”
