Anthony Volpe Fantasy Stats

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) will be delayed to start the 2026 season after recently having surgery to fix a partially torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder, according to Deesha Thosar of FOX Sports. The Yankees are expecting Volpe to start hitting at the start of February, but he will not be allowed to dive on his surgically repaired shoulder until around April. While Volpe finished just one home run and two stolen bases shy of his second 20-20 season in his third year in the big leagues, he wasn't the same offensively after injuring his left shoulder in early May. The good news is that the 24-year-old will be back in May in a worst-case scenario, so he shouldn't have to miss too much time to begin 2026. Until Volpe is ready, expect the speedy Jose Caballero to start at the 6 for the Yankees. When Volpe is ready to return, he'll be firmly in the mix to take over at shortstop in the Bronx.

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) underwent surgery to fix a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder on Tuesday, according to Joel Sherman and Greg Joyce of the New York Post. Although Volpe ended up coming one home run shy of his second 20-homer season in 153 regular-season games in 2025, his shoulder injury likely contributed to him hitting a disappointing .212 (114-for-539). The 24-year-old initially injured his left shoulder while diving for a ball on defense in early May. It was impressive that Volpe never landed on the injured list due to the injury, but he had setbacks along the way. Volpe should be recovered in time to be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season, although his timeline in spring training could be affected. He had a .786 OPS before injuring his shoulder on May 3 and a .628 OPS the rest of the season.

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. After missing six games due to a left shoulder injury, Volpe returned to the lineup on Tuesday. He did fairly well at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a double, walk, and an RBI. Despite the solid performance, Volpe will head to the bench a day later. Maybe, the Yankees want to be cautious with Volpe considering he was out with a partially torn labrum. Regardless, Jose Caballero will take over at shortstop and bat ninth against right-hander Taj Bradley on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday to see if Volpe is back in the mix for that one.

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Volpe is returning to the field after missing each of the last six games due to a lingering shoulder injury. The Yankees have remained committed to Volpe at shortstop despite his struggles both at the plate and defensively this season. It's unclear if Volpe is going to be the long-term solution at shortstop, but for now he's going to remain the starter. He's not someone that must be rostered right now given his struggles. His power and speed give him some value, but he has been awful against right-handed pitching this season.

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Volpe will miss his sixth straight game due to a partially torn left labrum. He recently received a cortisone shot, but still isn't feeling good enough to play. Jose Caballero will continue covering shortstop and will bat eighth on Monday. It sounds like Volpe could be available off the bench, so hopefully he'll return to the lineup within the next few days. Fantasy managers should check back on Tuesday for another update.

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) is unlikely to start any game during this weekend's series at Boston, as he is working on gaining strength in his injured shoulder. It was revealed earlier this week that the 24-year-old has been playing through a partially torn labrum for months. He recently had a cortisone shot injected into his ailing shoulder, with the hope and belief that he can play again this season. While there is a chance that he could be used off the bench, even that would be because of an emergency, said Yankees manager Aaron Boone. Volpe has had a disappointing season, sporting a .206/.266/.393 slash line this year, albeit with 19 home runs and 16 steals. It remains to be seen if and when he will be used down the stretch, and even when he does play, chances are his production takes a hit, given his ongoing injury. In his absence, Jose Caballero figures to get the bulk share of opportunities to play.

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) has been playing through a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder, manager Aaron Boone said on Thursday. The Yankees thought it was an old injury that Volpe could play through when they initially got his MRI results back in May, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Volpe has aggravated his shoulder a few times since then, including most recently this past weekend. The 24-year-old suffered the injury back in May while diving for a ball at shortstop, but he never went on the injured list and has been playing through it. It has affected him big time at the plate, as he's hit just .182/.230/.368 since the start of June. Volpe received a cortisone injection in his shoulder and is out of action for the second straight day on Thursday. With Volpe potentially going on the IL, Jose Caballero could be the team's starter at short going forward.

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) received a cortisone injection in his left shoulder for an injury that he initially suffered in early May when he dove for a ball and heard a pop, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Volpe did not have structural damage in his shoulder and never went on the injured list, but he has had "discomfort on occasion in the area since." Given the 24-year-old's struggles at the plate, manager Aaron Boone hinted that the shortstop position could be up for grabs going forward, and Jose Caballero made the start at the 6 in Wednesday's loss to the Detroit Tigers. Volpe does have 19 home runs in his third year in the big leagues for the Yankees, but he's hitting a career-low .206 (103-for-501) with 140 strikeouts and 41 walks in 141 games. Fantasy managers may not be able to count on him from here on out.

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe was given two games off as part of a reset, according to manager Aaron Boone. He continued by saying that Volpe will play regularly following Monday's contest. The Yankees still believe in Volpe as their long-term solution at shortstop. The 24-year-old has been inconsistent with the bat and struggled defensively this season. Despite that, the Yankees plan to stick with Volpe through his struggles. They don't have a ton of alternative options as Jose Caballero will draw his second straight start at shortstop on Monday.

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (elbow) is back at the 6 and is hitting sixth for Sunday's series finale in the Bronx against the division-rival Boston Red Sox and right-hander Hunter Dobbins. After being hit by a pitch on his left elbow early in Friday's game against the BoSox, Volpe was held of action for Saturday's contest. The 24-year-old is back for the series finale, though, and will face a pitcher that none of the Yankees have faced yet. Volpe has provided a decent mix of power and speed for fantasy managers in deep-mixed leagues with eight long balls and seven steals to go along with 37 RBI and 30 runs scored in his 220 at-bats so far in 2025. He hasn't had a multi-hit game since May 24, though, and has gone 8-for-35 (.229) with two homers, a triple, two doubles, nine RBI and four runs scored in 12 games since then.
