The New York Yankees will bring up former top prospect Anthony Volpe on Tuesday, placing shortstop Jose Caballero on the 10‑day injured list. Caballero’s right‑middle‑finger injury opened a roster spot after he missed Monday’s series opener in Baltimore. Volpe, 25, returns from offseason shoulder surgery and a recent Triple‑A stint in Scranton/Wilkes‑Barre. He is expected to start at shortstop today.

Caballero, a utility player who seized the shortstop role this season, suffered a finger fracture that forced him to sit as a pinch‑runner in Monday’s 3‑2 loss to the Orioles. He was caught stealing for final out. Volpe posted a .243 average with 12 homers and 28 steals in 2024, after a Gold Glove season. His absence also shrinks the Yankees’ depth at second base.

The recall arrives as the Yankees slide into a four‑game losing streak, heightening pressure on manager Aaron Boone to spark a turnaround. Volpe’s defensive skill set and power potential could stabilize the infield, while Caballero faces a rehab timetable that may limit his versatility. New York now hopes the roster shuffle translates into immediate wins.
