The New York Yankees continue to trust Anthony Volpe . With Ryan McMahon and Trent Grisham returning from injuries, however, will Jose Caballero take over full-time shortstop duties? While it seems as if Caballero will play shortstop most of the time, manager Aaron Boone and the Yankees are not giving up on the infielder.

"Yeah when we're whole, he'll (Caballero) play there," Boone said on Friday , via Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. "Anthony will play there some, obviously. Still try and take advantage of (Caballero's) versatility where we can. Even in this stretch, there's been a couple of days that we've walked in and he's been at shortstop, then something's come up with a player, so we've had to juggle the lineup on the fly. But yeah."
Caballero is capable of playing multiple positions. Volpe is capable of filling in at shortstop when Caballero plays elsewhere or needs a day off. However, it remains to be seen if Caballero will become the full-time shortstop, or if the players will still split time at the position.
It will be a situation to monitor.
