Fantasy Impact: Volpe is recovering from left shoulder surgery to repair a partially torn labrum last October. He has begun hitting drills and continues to participate in all defensive and baserunning exercises, but will not dive until April. With him sidelined, Jose Caballero is likely to claim the New York Yankees’ opening day shortstop job.

Stanton has dealt with tennis elbow in both arms since 2024. He said Wednesday that an entire offseason of rest has not resolved the problem. "I can't open a bag of chips... a bag of anything," Stanton said. (Source: Randy Miller)

Fantasy Impact: He sat out New York's first 70 games last season while recovering from the elbow issues but still hit 24 home runs during the regular season, his 14th major-league campaign with at least 20 long balls. Stanton plans to play a full 2026 season and is scheduled to make his spring debut on March 3. The Yankees will provide him with frequent rest days throughout the year in an effort to maintain his health and production.
