Volpe brought back by Yankees after Caballero goes on injured list with broken finger

Anthony Volpe’s demotion to the minor leagues lasted just a week, and the shortstop rejoined the New York Yankees after José Caballero was diagnosed with a broken right middle fing...
MAY 12 • Associated Press
Dealing with finger fracture The Yankees placed Caballero on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a right middle finger fracture.
Impact Caballero suffered the injury during Sunday's loss to the Brewers on a dive back into first base. It's unclear exactly how long the 29-year-old will be sidelined, but he'll be eligible to be reinstated from the IL on May 21. Anthony Volpe was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move and is likely to step in as New York's primary shortstop.

Caballero was sent for an MRI, but his return timeline isn't known since the imaging results have yet to be reported. Anthony Volpe is being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to step in as New York's primary shortstop.

Yankees shortstop Caballero sidelined with finger injury, hopes to avoid injured list

New York Yankees shortstop José Caballero has been sidelined with a sore finger and will undergo tests to determine the extent of the injury
MAY 11 • Associated Press
Sent for MRI on injured finger Caballero will undergo an MRI after injuring his right middle finger while diving back into first base during Sunday's game in Milwaukee, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Impact Caballero is optimistic nothing is broken, but more clarity on his status will be gained after the MRI results are in. Max Schuemann is starting at shortstop Monday in Baltimore in Caballero's place. However, if Caballero winds up requiring an extended absence, the Yankees would likely recall Anthony Volpe from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Not in Monday's lineup Caballero is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest in Baltimore.
Impact Caballero missed a start last week with swelling in his left elbow that was as a result of a hit-by-pitch. He returned to the lineup for the three games after that, however, so this appears to be a simple day off. Max Schuemann will play shortstop and bat eighth for the Yankees.

Sitting out after hit-by-pitch Caballero is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rangers.
Impact Caballero was hit on the left elbow by a pitch in Wednesday's loss to the Rangers. He was able to stay in that contest, but with it being a day game Thursday, he'll get some rest to heal up. Max Schuemann will draw the start at shortstop and hit eighth.

Demoted to minors, Anthony Volpe has to earn back New York Yankees shortstop job from José Caballero

MAY 4 • BOLAVIP.COM
May be sticking as starter Caballero appears to have earned himself an extended run as the Yankees' primary shortstop, as Anthony Volpe (shoulder) was reinstated from the injured list and optioned to Triple-...
Impact Yankees general manager Brian Cashman stated April 10 that the plan was for Volpe to reclaim his starting shortstop job once healthy enough to do so, but that path appears to have shifted given Volpe's assignment to Triple-A. Caballero has put himself in position to hang onto Volpe's former role with a strong start to the season, as he leads MLB shortstops with seven defensive runs saved while posting a fine .259/.306/.405 slash line to go along with four homers, 15 runs, 12 RBI and 13 stolen bases, which is tied for the AL lead. Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged Caballero's seizing of the lead shortstop role Sunday, saying the speedy veteran has "played himself into and earned himself more playing time." However, Boone also stated, "I love the idea of Jose being in that super utility role because he's so good at it" and said "we'll see" when asked if the team has pivoted from Cashman's previous statement regarding Volpe's role, so it's not certain that Caballero is going to be the Yankees' everyday shortstop for the entire season. For now, fantasy managers who have enjoyed Caballero's contributions on the basepaths and surprising uptick in power should plan to be able to plug him in as a near-everyday starter for at least the near future.
