Anthony Volpe Faces Uncertain 2026 Return From Labrum Surgery

Anthony Volpe is working his way back from October labrum surgery on his left shoulder, an injury that hampered his 2025 performance. He is currently behind schedule compared to teammate José Caballero, having only recently begun dry swings. With a disappointing 83 wRC+ in 2025, Volpe faces significant pressure to prove himself upon his return, as the Yankees seek immediate production. His recovery timeline suggests he will miss at least the first month of the 2026 season.
