Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Likely to return during coming week
Volpe (shoulder) is expected to rejoin the Yankees between Wednesday and Thursday and could be activated from the 10-day injured list, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Volpe is eight games into a rehab stint that has been split between Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 24-year-old has looked good so far, slashing .308/.333/.423 with a home run, three RBI and two stolen bases, though he's also posted a 1:7 BB:K. Per Romero, Volpe is expected to play a couple more games with Somerset before making his long-awaited return to the big-league club around the middle of the week. The Yankees have an early game Wednesday and are off Thursday, so the club could wait until Friday's series opener in Baltimore before formally activating Volpe. Whenever he's cleared to make his season debut for the Yankees, Volpe is likely to start regularly at shortstop, which would result in Jose Caballero shifting into more of a utility role.
