"Anthony Volpe recently had surgery to repair a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder, according to multiple reports, jeopardizing his availability for the start of the 2026 season and further complicating the New York Yankees' plan at shortstop. Volpe underwent the surgery Tuesday -- less than a week after the end of his disappointing 2025 season -- and was operated on by Yankees team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad, according to reports. The New York Post first reported Volpe's surgery Wednesday."
"Volpe initially injured his shoulder in early May and was hampered by the injury throughout the season. The former top prospect had two cortisone shots -- one in July, and another in September -- but Cashman indicated last month that the Yankees thought Volpe might avoid surgery. Recovery timelines for labrum operations often vary, but the minimum time required to heal from the surgery is typically four months."

General manager Brian Cashman indicated last month that the team hoped to avoid surgery, but recovery from a labrum operation typically requires a minimum of four months. Volpe struggled offensively and defensively in 2025, and the Yankees may need to explore alternatives at shortstop, including Jose Caballero, Oswaldo Cabrera, or promoting prospect George Lombard Jr.
