Anthony Volpe Worth Targeting on the Waiver Wire?
After starting the 2026 season on the injured list while rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery, New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe was initially optioned to Triple-A upon his return to full health. However, Volpe was recalled by the Yankees in mid-May and has played well since, hitting .281/.425/.469 with one home run, seven RBI, six runs scored, and two stolen bases across 40 plate appearances. While Volpe is still technically behind Jose Caballero on the Yankees' shortstop depth chart, he's started each of the Yankees' last two games at short and could be pushing Caballero back into a super utility role. A former top prospect, Volpe has largely struggled at the plate since breaking into the big leagues in 2023. Still, he's just 25 years old and has power/speed upside in an everyday role. In deeper leagues, fantasy managers may want to consider targeting Volpe on the waiver wire.
