Anthony Volpe Worth Targeting on the Waiver Wire?

After starting the 2026 season on the injured list while rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery, New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe was initially optioned to Triple-A upon his return to full health. However, Volpe was recalled by the Yankees in mid-May and has played well since, hitting .281/.425/.469 with one home run, seven RBI, six runs scored, and two stolen bases across 40 plate appearances. While Volpe is still technically behind Jose Caballero on the Yankees' shortstop depth chart, he's started each of the Yankees' last two games at short and could be pushing Caballero back into a super utility role. A former top prospect, Volpe has largely struggled at the plate since breaking into the big leagues in 2023. Still, he's just 25 years old and has power/speed upside in an everyday role. In deeper leagues, fantasy managers may want to consider targeting Volpe on the waiver wire.

Anthony Volpe Back in the Yankees Lineup, Worth a Waiver Wire Add?

New York Yankees 25-year-old shortstop Anthony Volpe returned to the Yankees lineup on May 13 after Jose Caballero (finger) landed on the 10-day injured list on May 12. Yankees manager Aaron Boone has come out and stated that Caballero is expected to reclaim the team's starting shortstop job when he returns, making Volpe a fill-in shortstop for the time being, and probably not someone fantasy managers should be spending a ton of FAAB on. Volpe has had his opportunities to be the Yankees' shortstop, and has underwhelmed overall with a .222/.285/.378 slash line with 52 home runs, 195 RBI, and 218 runs scored through four MLB seasons. Additionally, Volpe is considered one of the worst shortstops in the game with a negative six Range (OAA) fielding, which ranks in the 8th percentile. That said, Volpe is a former first-round pick and, at one point, did have the prospect pedigree, but unless he flips a switch quickly, it appears his time in the Bronx may be coming to an end. From a fantasy standpoint, he does not appear to be the team's preferred shortstop option in 2026 when everyone is healthy.

Anthony Volpe Worth a Look on the Waiver Wire in his Return to Yankees

The New York Yankees are calling up shortstop Anthony Volpe on Tuesday from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, sources told MLB reporter Francys Romero. Volpe will rejoin the major-league squad with infielder Jose Caballero (finger) going on the injured list. The 25-year-old former first-rounder got a late start to the 2026 season after having left-shoulder surgery in the offseason. He has played in 18 games in the minors this year with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Double-A Somerset, going 15-for-68 (.221) with a homer, eight RBI, 11 runs scored, and four stolen bases across 76 plate appearances. Fantasy managers with a need in the middle infield should consider adding Volpe, who is rostered in just 5% of Yahoo leagues, off the waiver wire now that he'll be New York's starting shortstop going forward. Depending on how Volpe is playing when Caballero is ready to return from his finger injury, he could stick around at the 6 in the Bronx. Volpe has hit just .222 in his three years in the big leagues with the Yanks, but he's also added 52 homers, 192 RBI, and 70 stolen bases in 472 games played.

Anthony Volpe Reinstated From Injured List, Optioned to Triple-A

According to Joel Sherman of The New York Post, the New York Yankees have activated shortstop Anthony Volpe (elbow) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A. Volpe was expected to take on the starting shortstop role in the Bronx ahead of his return from injury, but the Yankees will instead keep him in the minor leagues for the time being. During his 13-game rehab assignment with Double-A and Triple-A, the former top prospect held a .250/.306/.318 slash line with one home run and two stolen bases. Volpe was held out of action early in the season while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. Last season, the infielder held a low .212 AVG but showed upside in the power and speed departments, hitting 19 home runs with swiping 18 bags. For the time being, Jose Caballero figures to be the primary shortstop and is worth adding in all standard formats.

Anthony Volpe Won't Rejoin the Yankees on Friday

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) will not come off the 10-day injured list to join the big-league club for their series opener on Friday in the Bronx against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles, according to Brendan Kuty of The Athletic. Volpe is getting very close to making his 2026 season debut for the Yanks, but he's not quite ready and might not return to the team until early next week. The 25-year-old former first-rounder in 2019 is recovering from surgery to fix the labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder in the offseason. He's played in 10 minor-league rehab games with Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and has gone 10-for-33 (.303) with a homer, three RBI, five runs scored, and two stolen bases. When Volpe is back with the Yankees, he'll take over as the team's starting shortstop, which will push Jose Caballero back to a utility role. Volpe is only rostered in 9% of Yahoo leagues, but that number should go up considerably once he's back. Don't expect a high average, but Volpe can be useful for his counting stats in a strong Yankees lineup. UPDATE: Manager Aaron Boone said that Volpe will remain on his rehab assignment through the weekend.

Anthony Volpe Might Not Return This Week

The New York Yankees have not decided if shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) will be with the big-league club this weekend when they play the division-rival Baltimore Orioles in the Bronx, according to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Volpe is currently continuing his minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset. A report earlier on Monday suggested that Volpe could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list on either Wednesday or Thursday. Fantasy managers might have to wait a bit longer on the 24-year-old, who is recovering from offseason surgery to fix a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. Volpe is currently rostered in only 9% of Yahoo leagues, but that number should be on the rise over the coming week with his return on the horizon. When activated, Volpe will be New York's primary starter at the 6, relegating Jose Caballero to more of a utility role in the Big Apple. Volpe, a former first-rounder, has 52 home runs, 192 RBI, and 70 steals in his three MLB seasons, but he's also hitting just .222 in 1,886 plate appearances.

Anthony Volpe a Priority Injured List Stash?

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) is rostered in just nine percent of Yahoo! leagues, but with his expected return to the big league club this week, that number should probably be higher. The former first-round draft pick had a 20/20 season in his debut season of 2023, and was nearly 20/20 again last year (19 home runs, 18 steals). The right-handed hitter will likely be a drain on batting average, but he's hitting .308 through eight rehab games in the minors, so perhaps there's hope he could outproduce his career batting average of .222. Also, hitting anywhere in the league's fifth-best run-producing lineup (5.21 runs/game) should carry plenty of RBI and run-scoring opportunities. The soon-to-be-25-year-old is worth a look in most 12-team mixed leagues and could be stashed away ahead of his return.

Anthony Volpe Expected to Rejoin Yankees on Wednesday or Thursday

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) is expected to play a couple more minor-league rehab games with Double-A Somerset before joining the Yankees between Wednesday and Thursday, according to Francys Romero. Volpe is close to being reinstated from the 10-day injured list this week. The 24-year-old played through a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder for most of last year before having surgery in the offseason. In eight rehab games with Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Volpe has looked good at the plate, going 8-for-26 (.308) with a home run, three RBI, five runs scored, and two stolen bases in 27 plate appearances. Don't be surprised if Volpe doesn't actually make his 2026 season debut for the Yanks until this Friday against the Baltimore Orioles. When he does return, it will mean less playing time for the speedy Jose Caballero. Volpe has hit just .222/.283/.379 in his three big-league seasons across 472 games played, but he has a 20-20 season in 2023 as a rookie and can provide decent counting stats as a middle infielder for fantasy managers in mixed leagues. Volpe is currently only rostered in 8% of Yahoo leagues.

Anthony Volpe 10-14 Days Away From Season Debut With Yanks

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on Foul Territory on Wednesday that shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) has had "zero issues" with his surgically-repaired left (non-throwing) shoulder over the last couple of months. "Realistically, he's still 10 days [or] two weeks away, I would think," Boone said. Volpe played most of last year with a torn labrum in his left shoulder, but he still managed to hit 19 home runs, drive in 72 runs, and steal 18 bases in 153 regular-season games. He has gone 6-for-15 with a home run and two stolen bases in his five minor-league rehab games with Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Volpe is getting very close to making his 2026 season debut, but the Yankees aren't going to rush him back, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be back until the calendar flips to May. The 24-year-old is only rostered in 8% of Yahoo leagues right now, but that number should increase in the coming weeks as he nears reinstatement from the 10-day IL. Volpe should take over starting duties at the 6 in the Bronx from Jose Caballeros when he's ready.

Anthony Volpe Moving his Rehab Assignment to Triple-A

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) is having his minor-league rehab assignment moved from Double-A Somerset to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, according to the team. Volpe continues to rehab from offseason surgery to repair the labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder, but he's getting closer to making his 2026 debut with the Yanks and could rejoin the big-league roster right around May 1. In his four rehab games with Somerset, Volpe went 4-for-11 with two stolen bases. The 24-year-old is currently rostered in just 8% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available with May quickly approaching. The former first-rounder in 2019 may not be a high-end shortstop in fantasy, but he's at least worth grabbing off the waiver wire soon in deep-mixed leagues as New York's starting shortstop when he's healthy. The speedy Jose Caballeros will continue to start at the 6 in the Bronx until Volpe is reinstated. Volpe has a career .222/.283/.379 slash line in his three MLB seasons, and he was a 20-20 player in his rookie campaign in 2023.
