If anybody understands how much their struggling, it’s the shortstop for the New York Yankees himself.

Volpe sits down for a long chat with Bucky Dent; Grichuk set to workout after physical; Schlittler set for Opening Day still; Aaron Judge’s insane consistency.

Boone also provided injury updates on two position players, shortstop Anthony Volpe and infielder/outfielder Oswaldo Cabrera. Rehabbing from October left labrum surgery, Volpe is a week into his hitting program, which is just tee and toss for the time being. He still “probably weeks away” from diving,” Boone said.

Now three years into being on the Major League roster with the Yankees, Volpe has struggled to live up to the hype. He has shown flashes of the superstar potential that he possesses, but consistency has been a real problem for him thus far.

Anthony Volpe is very much in a good place mentally as he recovers from a shoulder injury that will keep him out of the Yankees' lineup.

The New York Yankees shortstop acknowledged that he has not realized the potential his showed as a first-round pick.

Jose Caballero may be the Yankees starting shortstop on Opening Day if Volpe isn’t ready. Even with Volpe, New York features shortstop uncertainty. Given the Yankees’ need for another bat and undeniable questions at shortstop, an Abrams trade simply makes too much sense.

When it comes to the configuration of their positional group, the Yankees have many ways they could go and potentially many decisions to make.
