Volpe's Rehab: 5-Inning Stints, Triple-A Next

0:00It's April 18th. From first pitch to the final out, this is MLB News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Anthony Volpey keeps stacking wins in his rehab from shoulder surgery. In his third game with AA Summer said, the Yankee shortstop grabbed a hit, a walk, a stolen base, and scored two runs over five innings at short. This marched the third time in four days. He's played five frames there, showing he's moving smooth. The injury hit back on May 3rd last season during a game, but he pushed through the pain until October surgery fixed a partial labrum tear. That was his first action since the AL Division series against the Blue Jays. Volpey says he feels like himself at the plate now, with no compensating swings messing up his mechanics. Last year he didn't realize he was adjusting, but hindsight shows it through off his timing. Earlier games had ups and downs. He went hitless first, then got his first knock. Thursday, thanks to teammates keeping the inning alive.

1:02Every small step feels huge in this long recovery grind. If Sunday's start in Summer said goes clean, expect him at Triple A next week, rejoining the Yankees late April or early May, primed to lock down, shortstop.
