Yankees Make Anthony Volpe Decision After New Shortstop's Surge: Insider
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees head into a pivotal series Thursday against the Boston Red Sox with a chance to build on their playoff positioning. And some new faces are helping the team recapture their early-season energy at a pivotal time. "Riding a five-game winning streak — with some of that early-season pinstriped swagger — the Yankees couldn't have timed this rivalry weekend any better," Pete Caldera wrote for While veteran Yankee Giancarlo Stanton has been the team's best player in recent outings, the Yankees are also enjoying contributions from some trade deadline newcomers. For one, infielder Ryan McMahon is slashing .250/.364/.359 since joining the team. And utility man Jose Caballero has been making his case for an everyday role with a .333 batting average and five stolen bases in his first 10 games with the team. MIAMI, FLORIDA - AUGUST 01: Anthony Volpe #11 of the New York Yankees looks on in the fifth inning of the game against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot park on August 01, 2025 in Miami,... MIAMI, FLORIDA - AUGUST 01: Anthony Volpe #11 of the New York Yankees looks on in the fifth inning of the game against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot park on August 01, 2025 in Miami, Florida. (Photo by) More Briggs/Getty The surge from Caballero has been strong enough to raise questions about whether he could seize the everyday shortstop role from Anthony Volpe, who has been mired in a season-long slump. But The Athletic's Yankees insider Chris Kirschner reported that the team has already made a decision about who will play shortstop for them. "Caballero is the hot new toy in Yankeeland," Kirschner wrote. "But, no, they will not be benching Volpe for Caballero. ... They are all-in on Volpe being the shortstop; Caballero having success in a small sample won't change that." Though the sample size on Caballero is small, Volpe's results are long-standing and concerning. He has a .215/.283/.413 slash line so far this season that marks a significant step back in average and on-base percentage from last year. And after winning a Gold Glove Award as a rookie, Volpe currently leads all players in the American League in errors. Kirschner noted that Caballero's production could mean some additional days off for Volpe, but it seems the Yankees have already decided on who the franchise shortstop will be, even as an initial surge for the new option raises some real questions among fans.
