The New York Yankees had to make an Anthony Volpe roster decision on Sunday.

Why aren't the Yankees bringing Anthony Volpe back to MLB?
This is a two-pronged reality, having to do both with Volpe and Jose Caballero.
Volpe's bat hasn't been strong as he has rehabbed, and with that left shoulder potentially being a detriment to his full power, the Yankees may feel like he isn't fully ready to contribute at the MLB level.
