Anthony Volpe Undergoes Shoulder Surgery After Playing Through Torn Labrum in 2025 Season

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe, 24, underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a partially torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder. Volpe played through the injury, which he initially suffered in May while diving for a ball, for a significant portion of the 2025 season, managing the pain with multiple cortisone shots. While he missed a few games, he ultimately returned to play, even making it back into the starting lineup for the postseason after losing some playing time to Jose Caballero. The typical recovery timeline for this type of surgery suggests Volpe should be ready for the start of the next regular season, though individual recovery can vary. In 2025, Volpe committed a career-high 19 errors and posted a slash line of .212/.272/.391 with 19 homers and 72 RBI.
