Overview

  • New York sent Anthony Volpe to Triple-A after he completed a 13-game rehab assignment, choosing not to activate him to the major-league roster.
  • Aaron Boone said the team wants to give Volpe more runway to succeed because José Caballero has been playing the position well.
  • Volpe hit .250/.306/.318 with one home run and six RBIs during his rehab stint split between Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
  • Caballero has held the shortstop job with a .259/.306/.405 line, four home runs, and 12 RBIs across the season’s first month-plus.
  • MLB rehab rules set a near-term activation deadline, and the Yankees opted to keep Volpe taking everyday shortstop reps in Triple-A despite prospect George Lombard Jr. being on that roster.
