Once he returns to the Yankees, MLB insider Greg Joyce of The New York Post reports that he will once again be the team\u2019s starting shortstop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe time for a rehab assignment is nearing, and could come as early as Tuesday after meeting with the team physician for a final check-up,\u201d Joyce wrote. \u201cBut once he\u2019s fully ready to go what will his role with the team be? General manager Brian Cashman gave the strongest indication that he\u2019ll be back as the starting shortstop that we\u2019ve heard since the offseason, confirming \u201cthat\u2019s always been the plan\u201d when reporters asked. He did leave a caveat that \u201cultimately that\u2019ll be the manager\u2019s call\u201d on starting Volpe. But there\u2019s little doubt that the GM and manager will be in lockstep on this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJos\u00e9 Caballero had a chance to make this a more debatable choice with the starting gig wide open for the first month of the season, but his bat has been ice cold to start the year. A .135\/.200\/.162 triple-slash isn\u2019t inspiring any confidence, and the team was already inclined to go back to Volpe once healthy after assessing the team in the offseason. Given how dreadful the bottom of the lineup has performed, an early season performer like Volpe could win a lot of favor back in his court by jumping back in with some timely hits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caballero had a chance to win the job, but he has struggled, allowing Volpe to reclaim the job once he returns. However, Volpe could also be on a short leash.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Volpe Begins Rehab Assignment<\/h2>\n<p>Volpe missed the beginning of the season after offseason shoulder surgery. But the shortstop is getting closer to returning to the majors.<\/p>\n<p>According to SNY, Volpe is currently penciled in to begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday in Double-A. Although his rehab assignment will begin next week, Volpe will likely be in the minors for nearly a month, using it as spring training.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSrHz3SYVp6uugDAIJZvNJAf4ENdqpH0RvlrQ&amp;s\" alt=\"Yankees injury update Anthony Volpe close to rejoining team\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, despite Volpe getting ready to return to minor-league action, the Yankees\u2019 starting shortstop is still a ways away from returning to the Bronx.<\/p>\n<p>Volpe hit .212 with 19 home runs and 72 RBIs last season.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees Have Confidence in Volpe<\/h2>\n<p>Despite Volpe struggling in the field and at the plate last season, the Yankees remain confident in him.<\/p>\n<p>Volpe, at times, has shown flashes of being one of the top shortstops in the MLB. With that, during spring training, Yankees manager Aaron Boone shared high praise for Volpe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still think Anthony\u2019s gonna be a frontline shortstop in this league,\u201d said Boone. \u201cEveryone\u2019s path isn\u2019t linear. We always want it to be, and that can be tough, especially in New York, where you\u2019re kind of finding your way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once Volpe returns from injury, he will reclaim the starting shortstop job. He will also likely be an improvement at the plate than what Caballero and Ryan McMahon have given them.<\/p>\n<p>Volpe won the Gold Glove Award in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Anthony Volpe gets update on future with Yankees.
