Yankees Leave Volpe in Triple A but Consider Call-Up After Domínguez Injury

Overview

• Anthony Volpe was reinstated from a rehab stint and then optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, a decision Brian Cashman linked to José Caballero’s strong run at shortstop.
• Aaron Boone said the Yankees will discuss promoting Volpe after Jasson Domínguez’s shoulder injury created an open roster spot.
• A widely shared RailRiders clip showed Volpe slowing between second and third on a two-out Spencer Jones double, which fueled questions about his game awareness.
• Volpe also made a routine ground-ball error in Triple A, and fans on social media pushed for a trade or a move off shortstop.
• Volpe had left-shoulder labrum surgery in October 2025 and struggled last season at the plate and in the field, and MLB Network’s Jon Morosi floated that he could become a trade candidate by July if he remains in the minors.
