Overview
- New York placed Caballero on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday after an MRI showed a small fracture in his right middle finger with tendons and ligaments intact.
- Manager Aaron Boone said Caballero could miss only the minimum and will reclaim the starting job once he is cleared.
- Anthony Volpe was recalled from Triple-A and is expected to play most days at shortstop while Caballero heals, with Max Schuemann starting Tuesday’s game in Baltimore.
- Volpe returned from October labrum surgery and was optioned on May 3 after his rehab, and his recent results have been light along with a 2025 season that included an AL-high 19 errors.
- The call-up gives Volpe a short evaluation window before Caballero’s expected return and has triggered interim infield shifts, including reps for prospect George Lombard Jr. at other spots.
