BALTIMORE — Anthony Volpe has been recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and will join the Yankees in time for Tuesday’s game against the Orioles, a source confirmed to MLB.com.
The team has not officially announced the move.
Caballero sustained the injury in the ninth inning of Sunday’s loss to the Brewers in Milwaukee, then appeared as a pinch-runner in New York’s 3-2 loss to the Orioles on Monday.
Volpe missed most of Spring Training while recovering from left shoulder surgery performed in October. The Yankees optioned Volpe to Triple-A when his Minor League rehab clock expired, with general manager Brian Cashman saying that Caballero’s all-around play had earned more playing time.
The 25-year-old Volpe will begin his fourth big league season after being named the Yanks’ Opening Day shortstop in 2023. In 472 Major League games, Volpe has posted a .222/.283/.379 slash line. Last season, he batted .212/.272/.391 with 19 home runs, 72 RBIs and 18 stolen bases in 153 games.
In nine Triple-A games for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Volpe was 8-for-39 (.205) with one home run, five RBIs and two stolen bases. Also including a nine-game stint with Double-A Somerset, he was 15-for-68 (.221) with eight RBIs and four steals.
