MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Anthony Volpe is concluding his 20-day minor league rehab stint at Double-A Somerset, with the Yankees set to reevaluate his status afterward, deciding whether to reinstate him to the active roster or option him to Triple-A.
- Volpe is recovering from October shoulder surgery, but the Yankees have not significantly missed him at shortstop during his absence.
- Jose Caballero has performed well in Volpe’s stead, showcasing strong defense, league-leading speed with 12 stolen bases, and an above-average offensive line with a 105 wRC+, outperforming Volpe’s career 85 wRC+.
- Despite no major offseason acquisition to replace Volpe, Caballero’s emergence may have complicated Volpe’s role, leaving his future with the team uncertain.
