Anthony Volpe Begins Hitting Program with Dry Swings Post-Shoulder Surgery

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) initiated his hitting program Monday by taking dry swings. Volpe underwent left labrum surgery last October, and his recovery timeline suggests he will miss at least the first month of the upcoming season. The Yankees anticipate Jose Caballero will serve as the primary shortstop during Volpe's recuperation. His progress will be monitored as he ramps up activities, with a clearer return timetable expected as he advances through his rehabilitation.
