The Yankees have done what once would have been inconceivable, as the club on Sunday reinstated shortstop Anthony Volpe from the 10-day injured list, then optioned the former top prospect to Triple A on the heels of his rehab assignment.
While the move says less about Volpe’s future than you might think (more on that later), it’s nothing less than a stunning organizational about-face, given Yankee rhetoric from the past few years, as well as the trajectory Volpe himself seemed to be on.
