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: Exiting lineup Wednesday
Rotowire
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.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Back in lineup Tuesday
Rotowire
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.

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: Out of lineup again Friday
Rotowire
Volpe (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in Boston.
Volpe received a cortisone shot Wednesday for a nagging left shoulder injury and will miss a third straight start. It's unclear whether he'll be available off the bench, but he's not expected to need a stint on the 10-day injured list. Jose Caballero will again play shortstop for the Yankees on Friday.

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.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Gets cortisone shot in shoulder
Rotowire
Volpe was given a cortisone shot in his left shoulder for an injury he suffered in early May, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Volpe described feeling a "pop" in his shoulder when he dived for a ball during a May 3 game against the Rays. He was cleared of structural damage and never went on the injured list, but Volpe has had "discomfort on occasion in the area since," per Sherman. The injury could at least partly explain Volpe's poor performance, as he has slashed .197/.248/.378 since and has struggled defensively. Jose Caballero started at shortstop for the Yankees on Wednesday, and manager Aaron Boone has indicated his starter at the position moving forward is fluid. It's not clear whether Volpe was available off the bench Wednesday or will be Thursday, as players who receive cortisone shots typically don't play for at least a couple days.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Starting job no longer secure
Rotowire
Volpe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Tigers, and Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he's "in day-to-day mode" in terms of his decision on who will start at shortstop, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
Boone said Tuesday that Volpe remained his starting shortstop, but he seemed to back off that declaration a day later, noting that Jose Caballero -- who is drawing the start at the position Wednesday -- is also in the mix for regular reps at shortstop. Volpe is slashing just .125/.135/.222 with a 29:1 K:BB over his last 21 games and has had numerous defensive lapses.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Logs steal Thursday
Rotowire
Volpe went 2-for-3 with a double, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Thursday's 10-4 win over the White Sox.
A two-game stretch out of the lineup earlier in the week didn't immediately fix Volpe's problems at the plate, as he entered Thursday stuck in an 0-for-23 slump. He was able to break out of it with a multi-hit effort, and his RBI in this contest came on a sacrifice fly. He also logged his 16th steal of the season, which was his first since Aug. 6 versus the Rangers. He has had few opportunities on the basepaths this month -- Volpe is batting a mere .169 (14-for-83) in August, dragging his average for the season down to .207 through 132 games. He's added a .668 OPS, 18 home runs, 66 RBI, 57 runs scored, 27 doubles and four triples. Volpe remains the Yankees' starting shortstop, but Jose Caballero offers another speedy option at the position if Volpe's performance becomes too poor for manager Aaron Boone to tolerate.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Sitting amid slump
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said Volpe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox since the shortstop has recently been "scuffling" offensively, and the skipper wouldn't commit to the 24-year-old returning to the starting nine for Monday's game versus the Nationals, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.
Since his four-hit game Aug. 1 in Miami, Volpe is batting .121 with a 26.8 percent strikeout rate in 19 games and has just one hit in his past 28 at-bats. Sunday marks Volpe's fifth absence from the lineup this season, but he could be headed to the bench more often down the stretch if the struggles persist. Jose Caballero has a 1.033 OPS in 31 plate appearances since being acquired by the Yankees and will start at shortstop Sunday.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Tossed from Sunday's contest
Rotowire
Volpe went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's game against the Athletics before he was ejected following the eighth inning for arguing balls and strikes, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.
During his fifth and final plate appearance of the afternoon, Volpe took issue with a checked swing that was called for a strikeout and was tossed from the game by the first-base umpire. Oswald Peraza shifted over from second base to cover Volpe's spot at shortstop in the top of the ninth inning.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Swats key homer Tuesday
Rotowire
Volpe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win over Cleveland.
Volpe went deep in the seventh inning to give New York a 3-1 lead. The insurance run proved to be significant, as the Guardians scored once in the ninth but were unable to come all the way back from the deficit. Volpe's long ball snapped a 17-game homerless streak during which he batted just .226 over 62 at-bats, though he did knock in nine runs and log eight extra-base hits (six doubles and two triples) during the power drought. The shortstop has seven homers, seven steals, 34 RBI and a .760 OPS through 58 games on the season.
