Yankees news: What to do with Anthony Volpe
Key Points:
- Anthony Volpe’s rehab assignment ends today, and the Yankees must decide whether to activate him to the MLB roster or option him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start the season in the minors, with considerations about his confidence and readiness.
- José Caballero has impressed with his shortstop defense and offensive improvement, hitting four home runs early this season compared to five last year, benefiting from traditional on-field batting practice rather than high-tech aids.
- Ben Rice has defied expectations by excelling against left-handed pitching, posting a 1.308 OPS in the first six weeks, making him one of the best hitters against southpaws and a key player development success for the Yankees following Juan Soto’s departure.
