NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 06: Anthony Volpe #11 of the New York Yankees in action during the game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium on September 6, 2025 in New York, New York.

Overview

  • Anthony Volpe started at shortstop Tuesday in Minnesota after a week out following a cortisone injection for a partial labrum tear in his left shoulder.
  • Manager Aaron Boone said both Volpe and José Caballero will factor in down the stretch, citing a day-to-day approach and noting Caballero was a bit banged up.
  • Caballero had started six straight games at short, producing a .333 stretch with extra-base hits and elite base stealing while drawing praise for his defense.
  • GM Brian Cashman reiterated organizational belief in Volpe’s long-term ability, adding further testing will inform offseason plans and that no surgery or IL stint is currently recommended.
  • Volpe’s season line sits at .206/.268/.393 with a league-high 19 errors, fueling questions about playoff usage as some commentators speculate about reduced October roles or future moves.
