TAMPA — Yankees manager Aaron Boone has highlighted José Caballero as a key player, starting at shortstop alongside Jazz Chisholm Jr. while Anthony Volpe recovers from shoulder surgery. Caballero, known for his confidence and versatility, aims to leverage his playing time to make the Yankees’ decision on shortstop more complex. Despite his strong performance, including a recent home run, the Yankees are still expected to favor a healthy Volpe as their starter. Boone appreciates Caballero’s dynamic skills and prior history with Chisholm, suggesting they could form a potent combination this season.
