On Friday night, the New York Yankees will open up a four-game series with the Baltimore Orioles in the Bronx.
Anthony Volpe has yet to make his season debut, and there has been a lot of speculation that he could return soon.
That said, Volpe will not be called up for Friday’s game.

MLB Social Media Reacts To Anthony Volpe Update
Here’s what people were saying on social media:
Max Mannis: “Yankees have been oddly secretive and vague about this all along. Might be as simple as he’s not ready yet, but what’s going on here? Why won’t they just place any kind of timeline on it?”
@MattFeinbergEsq: “No rushing him. Could always be back tomorrow or over the weekend.”
@Wholeeohh3: “Why would the yankees bring him up when this roster is doing so well without him…i think caballero is an upgrade as a player and brings more to this team than volpe”
Brendan Kuty: “Anthony Volpe will not be back w/ the Yankees tonight. He’s had 34 plate appearances on his rehab assignment.”
