Overview

• Multiple reports say the 24-year-old had the procedure this week, with Yankees team doctor Christopher Ahmad performing the surgery.
• He injured his non-throwing shoulder on May 3, received cortisone shots at the All-Star break and in September, and was never placed on the injured list.
• Volpe posted a .212/.272/.391 line with 19 home runs and 72 RBIs over 153 games, tied for the MLB lead in shortstop errors with 19, and struggled in the ALDS.
• Sources suggest a typical recovery could make him ready for Opening Day, while independent orthopedic estimates project six to nine months.
• The club is expected to keep Volpe as the 2026 frontrunner at shortstop, evaluate José Caballero as competition, and keep tabs on prospect George Lombard Jr., with leadership set to discuss his timeline Thursday.
