MLB Social Media Reacts To Volpe News
Here’s what people were saying about the latest update on Volpe:
@CTMike99: “He was at spring training, why are they nursing him back like he is over 30? Stanton doesn’t even spend this much time in rehab games”
@JohnnyMcMa60482: “Accumulate 55 at-bats, before you re-call him up here! Please, and thank you!”
@mikedorb1: “Not sure that Volpe returning is going to improve the Yankees infield situation. If he is going to be the regular shortstop Cabby is going to lose a lot of playing time.”
Volpe was the 30th pick in the 2019 MLB Draft.
He has spent all three seasons with the Yankees.
