Anthony Volpe Worth a Look on the Waiver Wire in his Return to Yankees
The New York Yankees are calling up shortstop Anthony Volpe on Tuesday from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, sources told MLB reporter Francys Romero. Volpe will rejoin the major-league squad with infielder Jose Caballero (finger) going on the injured list. The 25-year-old former first-rounder got a late start to the 2026 season after having left-shoulder surgery in the offseason. He has played in 18 games in the minors this year with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Double-A Somerset, going 15-for-68 (.221) with a homer, eight RBI, 11 runs scored, and four stolen bases across 76 plate appearances. Fantasy managers with a need in the middle infield should consider adding Volpe, who is rostered in just 5% of Yahoo leagues, off the waiver wire now that he'll be New York's starting shortstop going forward. Depending on how Volpe is playing when Caballero is ready to return from his finger injury, he could stick around at the 6 in the Bronx. Volpe has hit just .222 in his three years in the big leagues with the Yanks, but he's also added 52 homers, 192 RBI, and 70 stolen bases in 472 games played.
