Yankees' Anthony Volpe Begins Rehab Assignment, Gerrit Cole's Return Looms

Anthony Volpe's impending return from the injured list has sparked speculation about potential roster changes within the Yankees. Randal Grichuk, who has struggled at the plate, is a likely candidate to be replaced. However, other options such as Jasson Domínguez, Ryan McMahon, or Jose Caballero could also be considered.

Gerrit Cole, recovering from reconstructive elbow surgery, has been making progress in his rehabilitation. After a recent session where he threw 42 pitches over three simulated innings, the team is evaluating whether his next step will be another batting practice session or a minor league rehab outing. Cole has reported that his arm feels significantly better since the surgery.

Carlos Rodón is also on the mend following elbow surgery and hamstring issues. The team is closely monitoring his progress to determine the best course of action for his return.

Volpe is expected to return after approximately 55 at-bats in the minor leagues.

Cole has been facing hitters in simulated games and is progressing towards a potential minor league rehab assignment.

Randal Grichuk is considered the most likely candidate due to his poor performance.
