Volpe Recalled as Caballero Hits IL with Broken Finger
Yankees bring back Anthony Volpe after José Caballero's broken finger opens a roster spot.
The New York Yankees recalled Anthony Volpe to the majors on Tuesday after placing José Caballero on the injured list with a broken finger. Caballero suffered the injury during a game against the Red Sox, forcing the team to shuffle its infield depth. Volpe, who lost his starting shortstop job to Caballero while rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery, now returns to a lineup that has struggled for consistency.
251 with 12 home runs and 42 RBIs in 98 games before being optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in June. This move signals the Yankees' continued willingness to adjust their roster midseason. 287 average with 8 homers in 45 games — could provide a much-needed spark.
