Anthony Volpe to Start a Rehab Assignment on Tuesday
The plan for now is for New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) to start a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Double-A Somerset, according to Erik Boland of Newsday. Volpe damaged his left (non-throwing) labrum last May while diving for a ball at shortstop, and he managed to play through it while receiving occasional pain-relieving injections. Because the 24-year-old has not played since the playoffs last fall, fantasy managers should expect his rehab assignment to be lengthy. Barring a setback, Volpe could be ready to make his 2026 season debut around the beginning of May. The speedy Jose Caballero will continue to operate as the Yankees' primary shortstop with Volpe on the IL, but he'll shift to a utility role when Volpe is eventually activated. Volpe had a 20-20 campaign in his rookie season in 2023 and has at least 20 steals in two of his three seasons, but he's also hit .222 with a .283 on-base percentage in three big-league seasons.
