Yankees Hit the Panic Button: Anthony Volpe Returns to the Bronx Amid Growing Questions
The New York Yankees are turning back to a familiar name far sooner than expected. Just a week after optioning former top prospect Anthony Volpe to Triple-A, the Yankees are recalling the young infielder following an injury to utility man José Caballero, who reportedly landed on the injured list with a finger injury.
