Anthony Volpe Cleared for Hitting Drills in Shoulder Rehab

Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe has been cleared to hit overhand tosses and is participating in baserunning and defensive drills as he recovers from a shoulder injury. While he has progressed from hitting off a tee, the club remains cautious, prohibiting him from diving on his left shoulder until April. Volpe is expected to begin the regular season on the injured list, with his return timetable becoming clearer as he completes the final stages of his rehabilitation program.
