Yankees Not Considering Sending Anthony Volpe Down

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said sending rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe down to the minor leagues is not something the team is considering.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that the plan is for outfielder Harrison Bader (hamstring) to play in a minor-league rehab game on Wednesday and then return for the series opener against the Boston Red Sox on Friday.

Anthony Volpe: Champ or Chump for Fantasy Baseball?

Fantasy managers love when a top prospect breaks camp with the big league team, but it doesn't always work out the way we hope.

New York Yankees outfielder Harrison Bader (hamstring) is progressing after landing on the IL. He's been out with a low-grade hamstring string, but fortunately, he's been running, hitting, and throwing without discomfort, which is certainly a positive sign.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (elbow, back) faced hitters on June 7, throwing 20 pitches. The left-hander is scheduled for more sessions on June 11 and June 15.
