Yankees recall Anthony Volpe following Jazz Chisholm Jr. thumb injury

The New York Yankees recalled Anthony Volpe from the minors ahead of Thursday's series finale against the Colorado Rockies. The roster move follows a right thumb sprain sustained by Jazz Chisholm Jr. during Tuesday's game, an injury that will sideline him from all baseball activity for at least 7-10 days. Volpe spent recent weeks at Triple-A expanding his defensive versatility to include starts at second and third base. During his time in the minors, he batted.388 with eight home runs across his last 13 games. Manager Aaron Boone described the utility plan as a day-by-day situation, though he expressed confidence in Volpe's ability to handle second base duties. Chisholm Jr. is in his free agent walk year, leaving his availability for the remainder of the 2026 season uncertain.
