Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday with the goal of logging 55 at-bats before MLB activation.
Fantasy Impact
Volpe continues to recover from left shoulder surgery, and Tuesday will mark a major step in that recovery. His 55 rehab at-bats likely has him in the minors for 15 games or so, depending on how his shoulder holds up. Volpe's combination of power and speed could put him on the fantasy radar if he can find a way to get on base at a reasonable clip.
Anthony Volpe is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment next week.
Fantasy Impact
Volpe will likely require a lengthy assignment after missing all of spring training. He is expected to return to his starting shortstop role when he is healthy.
Volpe had surgery last October to repair the labrum in his left shoulder and has been targeting a return around May 1. Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Volpe will take live batting practice Wednesday, and if that goes well, a rehab assignment could begin within two weeks.
Fantasy Impact
Jose Caballero continues to handle shortstop for New York in the interim.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed that Anthony Volpe will face live pitching later this week.

Volpe had surgery last October to repair the labrum in his left shoulder and is still building back up. He's targeting a rehab assignment around the second week of April and a season debut around May 1.
Fantasy Impact
The Yankees officially placed him on the 10-day IL Wednesday. Jose Caballero will handle shortstop duties in the meantime.
