• Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Won't be ready in April

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  The Yankees do not expect Volpe (shoulder) to be ready for his season debut before the end of April, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Volpe underwent surgery in mid-October to repair a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder. He is expected to be cleared to hit by February but will not be allowed to dive on the shoulder until around April. It's possible Volpe will be ready to go by early May, but a clearer picture of his timetable should be available at a later date. Jose Caballero is in line to serve as the Yankees' primary shortstop until Volpe is ready.

• Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Will begin next season on IL

  Volpe (shoulder) will begin next season on the injured list, Deesha Thosar of Fox Sports reports. Volpe underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder, an injury that he initially suffered in early May. The expectation is he will be ready to hit at the start of February, but he will not be allowed to dive on his surgically repaired shoulder until April or so. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman noted Thursday he expects Volpe back sometime in April or, in a worst-case scenario, May, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports. Per the Talkin' Yanks podcast by Jomboy Media, manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that, once recovered, Volpe will be "right in the mix" to serve as the team's starting shortstop to begin 2026. Jose Caballero is likely to serve in that role until Volpe is ready, and there are no guarantees Volpe gets the job back after he slashed .212/.272/.391 with 19 home runs and 18 stolen bases over 153 regular-season contests in 2025.

  10/15/2025 • By RotoWire

  Volpe underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. Volpe initially injured the shoulder on a diving attempt in early May and aggravated it on multiple occasions during the season. He never went on the injured list but did miss some time late in the regular season after being given a cortisone shot. The expectation is that Volpe will be recovered in time for Opening Day next season, though it will depend on how his rehab goes. Volpe slashed a disappointing .212/.272/.391 with 19 home runs and 18 stolen bases over 153 regular-season contest in 2025.

• Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Exiting lineup Wednesday

  09/17/2025 • By RotoWire

  Volpe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins. Volpe was held out of the lineup for six straight games after receiving a cortisone injection to treat a partial labrum tear in his left shoulder last week, but the 24-year-old made his return to the lineup Tuesday. He delivered an encouraging effort in his first start in a week, having a clean day in the field while going 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs in the Yankees' 10-9 win. Despite Volpe's strong game, manager Aaron Boone is likely to take a day-by-day approach at the shortstop position, so Volpe could become part of a timeshare with Jose Caballero while the season winds down. Caballero will get the nod at shortstop in Wednesday's series finale.
