"New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe is going to miss the start of the 2026 season after undergoing surgery Tuesday to repair a partially torn labrum in his elbow. That manager Aaron Boone and general manager Brian Cashman can agree on. Everything else is murky. The Yankees' brain trust put forth mixed messages on Volpe's injury, which he played with throughout the season, and even missed five games because of it in September."
"Nothing like being on the same page after a dismal showing in the ALDS and a premature exit from the postseason that was supposed to feature a legitimate push toward a pennant and a return to the World Series. Instead, they were dominated by the Toronto Blue Jays, and Volpe was just one of the many assets that struggled during the four-game series loss. He went 1-for-15 with 11 strikeouts, which was even more disappointing than his regular season."
Anthony Volpe will miss the start of the 2026 season after surgery to repair a partially torn labrum in his elbow. He played through the injury during the season and missed five games in September. Conflicting assessments emerged within the Yankees' leadership about how much the injury impacted his play. Volpe struggled at the plate and in the field, hitting .212 with a .663 OPS and making a league-worst 19 errors at shortstop. He went 1-for-15 with 11 strikeouts in the ALDS as the Yankees were dominated by the Toronto Blue Jays. Management continues to express confidence in his potential despite the poor results.
