Anthony Volpe Expected to Rejoin Yankees on Wednesday or Thursday
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) is expected to play a couple more minor-league rehab games with Double-A Somerset before joining the Yankees between Wednesday and Thursday, according to Francys Romero. Volpe is close to being reinstated from the 10-day injured list this week. The 24-year-old played through a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder for most of last year before having surgery in the offseason. In eight rehab games with Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Volpe has looked good at the plate, going 8-for-26 (.308) with a home run, three RBI, five runs scored, and two stolen bases in 27 plate appearances. Don't be surprised if Volpe doesn't actually make his 2026 season debut for the Yanks until this Friday against the Baltimore Orioles. When he does return, it will mean less playing time for the speedy Jose Caballero. Volpe has hit just .222/.283/.379 in his three big-league seasons across 472 games played, but he has a 20-20 season in 2023 as a rookie and can provide decent counting stats as a middle infielder for fantasy managers in mixed leagues. Volpe is currently only rostered in 8% of Yahoo leagues.
