Overview

• Anthony Volpe returned from a cortisone-related pause and logged two hits, including a double, in Tuesday’s 10-9 win over the Twins.
• Aaron Boone said José Caballero “isn’t a guy that plays every single day,” adding he wants Volpe back in the mix to provide a spark and noting Volpe feels physically ready.
• Since Aug. 1, Volpe has hit .185 with a .567 OPS over 25 games, while Caballero has hit .270 with an .848 OPS in that span.
• Volpe’s season-long slump and defensive concerns persist despite the brief uptick, keeping his everyday role under scrutiny.
• With both shortstops hitting right-handed and the team alternating starts this week, the Yankees are expected to pick one primary option for the postseason.
