The Yankees recalled Volpe from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.
Volpe has managed just a .240/.325/.322 batting line in the majors this season. He was on a heater at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, however, slashing .292/.390/.660 with 10 home runs and eight stolen bases in 28 games since being demoted. Manager Aaron Boone could choose to ride the hot hand and play Volpe at second base while Jazz Chisholm (thumb) is out, though super utility player Jose Caballero will also be in the mix.
