The New York Yankees have decided to option shortstop Anthony Volpe to Triple-A after his rehab assignment, rather than activating him from the injured list. Despite a solid showing in rehab with a .275 batting average, Volpe’s offensive struggles and declining defensive metrics, which included an AL-leading 19 errors in 2025, influenced the decision. Infielder Jose Caballero has excelled in Volpe’s absence, posting strong offensive numbers and leading the majors in defensive runs saved. Volpe may return to the majors later this season, but his role as the primary shortstop is likely over for now.
