Yankees, Anthony Volpe Weigh Offseason Shoulder Surgery After ALDS Exit

The outcome could shape New York’s shortstop plans given José Caballero’s presence plus prospect George Lombard Jr.’s timeline.

Overview

  • Volpe said he has not decided on shoulder surgery, telling reporters, “I don’t know… we’re going to figure it out.”
  • He played through a partially torn labrum in his right shoulder since early May without an injured list stint.
  • His 2025 line fell to .212/.272/.391 with 19 home runs and 72 RBIs, and he led MLB with 19 errors.
  • The struggles intensified in October, including a 1-for-15, 11-strikeout ALDS against Toronto and a .192/.192/.346 postseason.
  • The Yankees will reassess his health this offseason as they consider internal options at shortstop, including Caballero now and Lombard Jr. projected about a season away.
