Volpe to Learn Second Base as Yankees Expand Infield Versatility

With José Caballero back from the injured list, the Yankees will keep Anthony Volpe around and have him work on second base to increase his versatility, though there are no plans for him at third; Boone will decide the starting shortstop on a nightly basis, and Caballero was the choice for Friday’s opener. Gerrit Cole delivered six scoreless innings in his season debut, while Aaron Judge is in a mini slump blamed on pitch selection. Giancarlo Stanton is sidelined with a calf strain and will be reevaluated next week to see if he can resume running, with a chance he could skip a rehab assignment if cleared; the rotation looks strong but the offense needs to contribute.
