The New York Yankees made roster moves Tuesday, promoting shortstop Anthony Volpe from Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre while putting utility player Jose Caballero on the 10-day injured list due to a broken finger.<\/p>

Caballero sustained the injury to his right middle finger during Sunday’s 4-3 defeat against the Milwaukee Brewers on the road. The injury occurred when he dove back toward first base to avoid being picked off. When Caballero reported pain afterward, the team sent him back to New York for testing, where an MRI scan confirmed a fracture.<\/p>

This injury opens the door for Volpe to return to the majors for his first appearance in the 2026 season, after Caballero had secured the regular shortstop position at the start of the year.<\/p>

The 29-year-old Caballero was hitting .259 with four homers, 13 RBIs and 13 stolen bases across 41 games this season, starting 39 of those contests at shortstop. New York obtained him from division rival Tampa Bay Rays during the 2025 trade deadline and utilized him at various positions in both the infield and outfield.<\/p>

Meanwhile, the 25-year-old Volpe dealt with a partial labrum tear in his left shoulder during the previous season and had surgery in October. His performance both at the plate and in the field suffered in 2025 while playing through the injury. Following his rehabilitation assignment, Volpe was sent down to Triple-A on May 3.<\/p>

Volpe first reached the major leagues in 2023 after just 22 Triple-A appearances the previous year. He earned the starting shortstop role during spring training and delivered an impressive rookie campaign with 21 home runs and a Gold Glove award. He appeared in 159 games that season, followed by 160 in 2024 and 153 in 2025.<\/p>

Over his 472 major league games, Volpe has compiled a .222 batting average with 52 home runs, 192 RBIs, 82 doubles and 70 stolen bases. However, he also shared the American League lead with 19 errors during the previous season.<\/p>

Max Schuemann is scheduled to start at shortstop for Tuesday’s matchup against the Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees enter the game having dropped four consecutive contests.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
