Volpe (shoulder) is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday against the Twins.
The 24-year-old shortstop will return to the starting nine for the first time since Sept. 9. Volpe has been dealing with a partially torn left labrum since May, but he received a cortisone injection last week and has improved enough to re-enter the lineup. The 2025 campaign has mostly been a struggle for Volpe, who has a .661 OPS while taking a step back defensively with minus-9 OAA and plus-1 DRS, which are significant drops from the plus-14 OAA and plus-6 DRS he posted during the 2024 regular season. Volpe and Jose Caballero are likely to split reps at shortstop to close out the season.
