Yankees Option Anthony Volpe To Triple-A
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Yankees have activated shortstop Anthony Volpe from the 10-day injured list following his shoulder surgery last October but have optioned him to Triple-A after his rehab assignment ended.
- Volpe's rehab included 13 minor league games, and despite showing progress, the Yankees opted to keep him in the minors to ensure regular playing time and continued development.
- Volpe, a highly touted prospect, has struggled offensively in his MLB career with a .222 batting average and 85 wRC+, and his defensive performance declined last season likely due to a shoulder injury.
- Utility player Jose Caballero has performed well filling in at shortstop, hitting .259 with solid defense and stolen bases, prompting the Yankees to stick with him as their interim shortstop for now.
- The Yankees, currently second-best in MLB with a 23-11 record, see no urgent need to bring Volpe back to the major league roster, but he remains a call-up option if needed during the 2026 season.
