Yankees Target Mid-April Rehab Start for Anthony Volpe

The shortstop will complete a full spring-style buildup following October surgery on his left shoulder.

Overview

  • Manager Aaron Boone said Volpe will likely begin a rehab assignment in the second week of April that mirrors a full Spring Training.
  • MLB allows up to 20 days for position-player rehab stints, making an early-May return possible if there are no setbacks.
  • Volpe will not be available for Opening Day on March 25 in San Francisco.
  • The Yankees plan to closely monitor his progression and avoid rushing his recovery from labrum surgery.
  • Jose Caballero is expected to open the season at shortstop as the in-house replacement during Volpe’s absence.
