The New York Yankees have been dealing with a ton of injuries throughout the year, and one of them is to starting shortstop Anthony Volpe.
Volpe, a youngster who some fans have grown frustrated with, has been a polarizing player, to say the least.
During his time in New York, he's found some success but has also had moments when things haven't gone as well as they should.
To me, some of that is due to the injury Volpe dealt with a year ago, as he had surgery during the offseason on his shoulder. Had Volpe not been injured, I believe he would have been better than what we saw.
Regardless, there's been a lot of positive news coming from the Yankees recently on injuries, and Volpe was the latest on that front. The team announced that he was sent from Double-A to Triple-A and even played in a Triple-A game after four games in Somerset.
âToday, the Yankees transferred the rehab assignment of INF Anthony Volpe from Double-A Somerset to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.â
The youngster hit a home run and collected another hit during the contest.
When Volpe returns, the expectation is for him to be the starting shortstop. Some fans had hoped that Jose Caballero would be the guy who could fit in that role, but Caballero wasn't good enough to suggest him playing every day.
Volpe will have to work his way back, and it remains uncertain how long the Yankees expect him to be down there, but hopefully, it won't be too long until we see him back in the Bronx.
Anthony Volpe underwent shoulder surgery during the offseason, which impacted his performance throughout the season.
Volpe has had moments of success but also struggles that have frustrated fans, contributing to his polarizing reputation.
While the exact date is not specified, Anthony Volpe is expected to start when he returns from injury, following his latest positive outing.
