Summary

Jose Caballero, Yankees shortstop, sustained a right middle finger injury while sliding back into first base on Sunday in Milwaukee. He underwent an MRI and was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. The 29-year-old had been the Yankees' everyday starter at shortstop, playing in 40 of the team's first 41 games. Prior to the injury, Caballero was batting .316 with an .896 OPS, 4 home runs and 8 steals over his past 22 games after a slow start to the season (.150 BA, .384 OPS in first 12 games). Anthony Volpe was called up from Triple-A to serve as the primary shortstop during Caballero's absence. Return timeline is unknown pending MRI results.
