Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Will begin next season on IL
Rotowire
Volpe (shoulder) will begin next season on the injured list, Deesha Thosar of Fox Sports reports.
Volpe underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder, an injury that he initially suffered in early May. The expectation is he will be ready to hit at the start of February, but he will not be allowed to dive on his surgically repaired shoulder until April or so. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman noted Thursday he expects Volpe back sometime in April or, in a worst-case scenario, May, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports. Per the Talkin' Yanks podcast by Jomboy Media, manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that, once recovered, Volpe will be "right in the mix" to serve as the team's starting shortstop to begin 2026. Jose Caballero is likely to serve in that role until Volpe is ready, and there are no guarantees Volpe gets the job back after he slashed .212/.272/.391 with 19 home runs and 18 stolen bases over 153 regular-season contests in 2025.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Undergoes shoulder labrum surgery
Rotowire
Volpe underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Volpe initially injured the shoulder on a diving attempt in early May and aggravated it on multiple occasions during the season. He never went on the injured list but did miss some time late in the regular season after being given a cortisone shot. The expectation is that Volpe will be recovered in time for Opening Day next season, though it will depend on how his rehab goes. Volpe slashed a disappointing .212/.272/.391 with 19 home runs and 18 stolen bases over 153 regular-season contest in 2025.
Volpe is not in the starting lineup against the Orioles on Sunday.
Volpe has been dealing with a shoulder issue for much of the season and has missed a few games in September as a result, but he entered Sunday having started four of New York's past five games at shortstop. With that said, there's no indication that Sunday's day off is anything more than a maintenance day. Jose Caballero is starting at shortstop for the series finale.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Swipes bag in win
Rotowire
Volpe went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Orioles.
Volpe singled, stole second and scored to extend the Yankees' lead to 6-0 in the sixth inning. The 24-year-old is hitting just .200 through 11 September contests, though he's shown signs of life with two multi-hit efforts and two stolen bases over his past four games. For the season, he's slashing .210/.272/.396 with 19 home runs, 71 RBI, 63 runs scored and 18 steals across 572 plate appearances.
Volpe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Volpe was held out of the lineup for six straight games after receiving a cortisone injection to treat a partial labrum tear in his left shoulder last week, but the 24-year-old made his return to the lineup Tuesday. He delivered an encouraging effort in his first start in a week, having a clean day in the field while going 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs in the Yankees' 10-9 win. Despite Volpe's strong game, manager Aaron Boone is likely to take a day-by-day approach at the shortstop position, so Volpe could become part of a timeshare with Jose Caballero while the season winds down. Caballero will get the nod at shortstop in Wednesday's series finale.
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.
Volpe is not starting for the Yankees against the Twins on Monday, but New York manager Aaron Boone relayed that the 24-year-old shortstop is healthy enough to be a "full player," Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.
Volpe will be out of the Yankees' starting lineup for a sixth consecutive game, but the cortisone shot he received for his partially torn labrum has helped in his recovery. Boone said that Volpe is healthy enough to start Monday, but Jose Caballero will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth for the series opener. Volpe and Caballero could be looking at split playing time in the two weeks leading up to the postseason.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Not starting Monday
Rotowire
Volpe (shoulder) is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Twins on Monday.
Volpe will miss a sixth consecutive game due to a partially torn left labrum. He received a cortisone shot this past Wednesday to help with the healing, but he has not recovered enough to return to the lineup for Monday's series opener but could be available off the bench, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Jose Caballero will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Volpe's absence.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Out for fifth straight game
Rotowire
Volpe (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Volpe will stick on the bench for a fifth straight game while he continues to recover from the cortisone shot he received Wednesday to aid the healing of his partially torn left labrum. Even if the injection yields the desired effect and Volpe is deemed ready to play during the upcoming week, it's unclear if he would take back an everyday role at shortstop. Volpe's job security had been slipping prior to his recent shutdown; he's posted a poor .188/.244/.412 slash line since the All-Star break and has also endured some hiccups on the defensive end.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Likely won't start during weekend
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that he doesn't think Volpe (shoulder) will be able to start any of the Yankees' games against Boston this weekend, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Volpe received a cortisone shot in his shoulder Wednesday, and while he could be available off the bench at some point over the weekend, he isn't expected to be part of the starting nine until Monday at the earliest. Jose Caballero should serve as the Yankees' primary option at shortstop during the series.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Absent from lineup
Rotowire
Volpe (shoulder) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.
Volpe recently received a cortisone shot in his left shoulder to treat the shoulder injury that has been bothering him since May, so it isn't too surprising to see him heading to the bench for the start of Thursday's contest. Jose Caballero will start at shortstop in Volpe's place and bat eighth.
