Anthony Volpe was sent to Triple-A last month.

He has been playing a lot of second base during his time with the SWB RailRiders.

UPDATE: Anthony Volpe is being called up to the MLB (first reported by Brandon Tierney).

Yankees Manager Makes Anthony Volpe Comment

Manager Aaron Boone was asked about Volpe after the news.

Greg Joyce of The New York Post wrote: “No decision yet on who replaces Jazz on the roster, but Boone said he would be comfortable playing Anthony Volpe at 2B in the majors.”

Boone also said about Volpe (via SNY Yankees): “I know that I have a ton of respect for the person and the player… I know he’s been a complete pro and completely got after it down there… That’s not an easy thing to do when you’ve been in the big leagues, and you’ve been the guy in the big leagues and you gotta go back.”

It will be interesting to see who the Yankees end up adding to replace Chisholm Jr.

The decision will likely come soon.

Eric Hubbs of Barstool Sports wrote: “Jazz was finally hitting his stride and had all the opportunities to finish strong and earn himself some money. Nightmare season for him. Volpe? Waldo?”
