Multiple Perspectives

The Yankees have not yet decided whether to activate Anthony Volpe or option him to the minors, with Volpe finishing a rehab stint and Jose Caballero performing well at shortstop. Sources agree Volpe’s rehab window ended after 20 days, and Caballero started at shortstop in the interim.

The primary dispute is whether Volpe will be recalled for the Texas game or remain in the minors; The Post cites the ongoing decision as The Post first reported, and Fox News frames it around Caballero’s continued role.
