AI Summary

Anthony Volpe was recalled from Triple-A to make his season debut at shortstop after Jose Caballero was placed on the injured list with a finger injury.

Volpe was recalled from Triple-A on Tuesday after Jose Caballero (finger) was put on the injured list. However, it was Max Schuemann who started at shortstop on Tuesday. Volpe should now play every day at shortstop until Caballero is back, but he hit just .205 in nine games at Triple-A. Caballero is also not expected to be out much longer than two weeks, so Volpe is more of a short-term add in deeper formats right now.
