Struggling Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe dealing with shoulder issue months after feeling ‘pop’
42 comments
Are you fucking serious? This organization has been screwing up Volpe, just running him out here instead of letting him heal.
Aaaaaand there it is.
How does this always happen? Might as well just not have a medical staff and save the money.
So he will be the starting ss next year. “Volpe is finally healthy”
When someone struggles this much it feels like it’s always injury related. Sit him down and let him get right before they destroy his confidence further.
I’ll never understand how an organization can simultaneously be so committed to “load management” and yet constantly be running injured players out there. How can those two things be true?
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
They found the excuse.
Rizzo 2.0. Running an injured player out for months.
New year, same shit.
Months. This team ruined Rizzo now Volpe
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Willingly trotting an injured player out there and making him hurt the team and draw ire from Fans for what exactly? This team has destroyed this kids development
Sounds like an excuse to bench him. His numbers were unaffected for a full month after the “pop,” and his power (ISO) hasn’t gone down at all
I mean I’m sure he dealing with stuff… but sounds like more of a cover up for his full blown regression to not make the Yankees look like complete idiots for defending him
Is this real or did the Yankees come up with a convenient excuse for him?
Bro who is on our training staff? Why does this happen every single year!!? I remember when rizzo played with a concussion for like 5 months
What a joke
This will be the excuse they use for him when they run him back out at short in 2026
So he’s either been playing hurt, or the team is providing cover to bench him
Either
1). This is fake and just a way to save face for his poor performance, or
2). This is insanity that they didn’t get him physical help.
Either way, this is organizational malpractice and everyone from the top down deserves to be fired.
This team’s medical staff needs to be investigated by a court of law. They’re literally ruining every single player
Somebody needs to get fired
I believe the IL, in this case, is what the site Razzball refers to as the “Ineffective List”.
Cole, Rizzo, Trevino, now Volpe. When will they learn?
He must’ve had a shoulder problem for 3 years then
They did the same shit with Rizzo. Why am I not fucking surprised.
Even if its not true, its an excuse to trot him out there next year as well as justify his performance this year. Or maybe they are using that so the fans lay off him so his confidence can be built up. Any of these scenarios still make the Yankees look terrible and negligent.
Yeah, most could see this coming. It’s also probably why Sherman said Caballero was likely to be the postseason SS. The second I heard of this shoulder injury, what seems like 3-4 months ago, I figured they’d do this (either continue running an injured player into the ground or use it as an excuse so they aren’t “proven wrong” about Volpe).
Bullshit. This is this built in excuse. They aren’t fooling anyone.
The whole “playing through injury” thing is such an outdated bullshit mentality. It doesn’t make you more of a “man” and often just hurts the rest of your team. It’s not being a team player. It’s selfish.
And this is just a way to make excuses because he was perfectly fine till the boos and demands for him to be replaced. Whatever…I’m over this shady org.
“Hey coach, I think I’m hurt which is leading me to suck ass and bring the team down with me” ” “What are you talking about? you should be fine. It won’t affect you, you are tough kid”
This is so wrong of the organization to do. He’s a young player and instead of letting him take time to rest, they forced him to go out and play every night and to his own detriment. He obviously hasn’t been well but the version of Anthony that we’ve seen ever since he had that shoulder problem is not the version of him that we saw during his rookie and second season. Especially not as a defensive player. Don’t forget he’s was a gold glove as a 21 yo rookie. It was obvious something was up and it sucks because now the fans hate him because the organization did this to him.
Just for the record I don’t really care to hear this as an excuse relative to his hitting, but he’s clearly lacking confidence in what already kind of was noodle arm in the field.
Was this what we wanted? Yes & no
How at this point has the union not filed a grievance against the Yankees for medical malpractice against their players. Like at this point this behavior consistently is borderline criminal
Here comes the built in excuse to bring him back next year even though he’s always been terrible offensively
This was the only dude in the lineup outside of Judge who played every day even though he had an injury. And we didn’t think of shutting him down for a while, even after getting infield bench depth? This is just like when Rizzo got concussed and they let him play for 2 months despite his huge drop in play. Boone needs to be fired obviously but whoever is in charge of our medical staff needs to go too
I figured the excuse would come in October or some shit, not now.
Fucking figures. They’ll trot his ass out there next year and when he stinks again, they’ll have to make a trade at the deadline for another issue they’ve know about since the off-season
When is someone going to fire these assholes
Are we actually supposed to believe that he’s injured?
I think the PA needs to step in and force teams to be real about injuries and proper IL designations. How many times are guys put on the IL for phantom injuries or give them time off to give them a reset and then situations like this where a guy is legit hurt, playing like total ass and nothing being done about it
That shoulder must’ve been hurting since 2024 World Series
Ah he’s been playing injured. So that’s why his offensive performance has been *checks notes* exactly the same as his previous seasons.
