The New York Yankees are hoping to win a lot of games this season, and Anthony Volpe wants to be around to help them do just that. Volpe returned to the team Wednesday after getting hurt near the end of the 2025 season.

Following an outing in recent days at Double-A Somerset, Volpe is now back in the Bronx. Well, he is in the clubhouse at least.

" Anthony Volpe is back in the clubhouse at Yankee Stadium. Said he came through his first rehab outing feeling great. Off today… back in a game tomorrow (Thursday)," Yankees clubhouse reporter Meredith Marakovits posted to X, formerly Twitter.

Volpe is recovering from a torn labrum. He played five innings in a game on Tuesday for Somerset.

"It's a big milestone, a big checkpoint," Volpe said after the game in Double-A, per MLB.com. "It felt good to get back out there."

The Yankees shortstop is eager to get back on the field at Yankee Stadium with his teammates, and play in a Major League Baseball game again.

"I just can't wait to get back out there," Volpe said. "Putting everything behind me and having a fresh start, a healthy start, is really exciting."

Volpe is progressing but not quite ready to actually play again in pinstripes.

"The goal, according to general manager Brian Cashman, is to have Volpe log about 55 plate appearances and play shortstop consistently in the Minors before he makes his 2026 big league debut," MLB.com reported.

New York needs him, but will have to wait. In 2026, the Yankees started out hot but have cooled off in recent days. New York is just 9-8, and has seven losses in their last 10 games.

The Yankees play on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels .
