They are waiting for him to be 33 before they call him up

@FrancesLii so dumb I just asked him How many Oblique injuries Judge have
English
This is why I’ll never get rid of this app.
Because there will always be a MFer like this trying to tell an MVP/HOF type what they’re doing wrong 😂😂😂
And all with a straight face too.

Ever wonder why Judge just can’t stay healthy? Try swinging a 32oz bat, 75mph, at +90s heaters without decelerating the barrel around the body. Judges success is unquestioned. But just cause you can doesn’t mean you should. This patterning puts an extreme amounts of pressure on spine to decelerate the bat speed post impact. Once spine has had enough it outsources to “save” the spine. This makes him rely on quads, hamstrings, biceps, wrists, and obliques too often to get through the swing. Take a look at his injury history. Those aren’t “baseball” injuries for a SUPREMELY talented human. They are normal human injuries which speaks to the amount of pressure the swing places on the supporting muscle groups to sustain him throughout a season. Potentially why he hasn’t had much success in postseason. Body is hanging on rather than peaking. 🤷🏻♂️ x.com/yankees_fan_1/…

If Rice is hurt for a while, the move that makes the most sense is Bellinger to 1b and call up Jones for LF
They paid Bellinger for his flexibility, well use it if necessary

@GarysheffieldJr And Gary I know you don't change opinions easily BUT I'll say it again I've mentioned a scout in 2018 said Dominguez could be better or as from the right-side. That received either doubt it or nothing. and we admit that lefty swings always look better, than RH @JKBOGEN

@Christian_NYYST NAH! I have said for a week he will be optioned. Now the 20 days starts and they get an extra years service. for 2b or trade
English
I wonder if the #Yankees would send Volpe down today just to call him back up on Friday when they’re on the road to make it seem like they did something.
I honestly think it would be a mistake to bring him back on this homestand. With the way the team is playing there’s really no positive that can come from this. You’ll only turn the fans further against him.
Today is going to be a very interesting day.

BREAKING: The Yankees are optioning Anthony Volpe to the minors, according to Joel Sherman.

Dare I say… the Yankees and Boone are showing some spine? Have times really changed? Am I dreaming? Is common sense a thing again?
Yankees Videos@snyyankees
Aaron Boone was asked if the Yankees' plan to have Anthony Volpe be their starting shortstop when he returns from injury has changed: "We'll see. We'll continue to talk about that. Again, José's played himself into and earned himself more playing time. I love the idea of José being in that kind of super-utility role because he's so good at it. But you also can't ignore that he's played so well defensively at shortstop, been a real spark for us offensively, especially after kind of getting off to a slow start probably the first 10 days, two weeks of the season. He's really picked that up and been in the middle of us winning games. At the end of the day, we're going to try and do what's best for our team and then individual players that we care about too and know that are going to be important contributors to our team. We weigh all that."
English
Aaron Boone said "we'll see" nine times today, about the following topics:
- runway to keep Jasson Dominguez in the Majors
- Anthony Volpe returning on Friday
- Anthony Volpe playing every day upon his return
- platooning Trent Grisham
Also said "anything's possible" about Elmer Rodriguez sticking around.
English
@GarysheffieldJr If no issues, I thought it possibly shocked the ulnar some
English
Do we have any official word on Jasson Dominguez? Looked like a contusion where he had to come out due to swelling.
Day off couldn’t have come on a better day, yesterday
English
@YankeeSource Trent will be lucky to hit 200. very misleading in savant
English
I know it’s hate Trent Grisham season again, but we were doing this at a time early last year as well. He hasn’t really changed from last year.
Yankeesource@YankeeSource
I’d still buy Trent Grisham stock. xwOBA has rebounded and he’s a constant power threat in the lineup.
English
Aaron Boone is still not committing to Anthony Volpe being back for this weekend's series.
"We'll see. He's playing again today in Somerset, so we'll see."
Q: When he's back, do you expect him to play like the past (re: starting every day)?
Boone: "We'll see. It's Wednesday. We've got this game and he's playing in Somerset today. We'll see."
A few weeks ago, Brian Cashman said it's always been the plan that Volpe will be the starting SS when he's back.

The 2026 Yankees are showing us a serious urgency through the organization.
•Removed the strict platoon between McMahon/Rosario, start Rosario vs RHP when swinging it well
•Yankees demoted Luis Gil back to AAA following rough start to season
•Strip Ben Rice platoon, now starts early every game vs LHP
•Yankees promote ERC to MLB following strong first month in AAA
•DFA veteran Grichuk to get Dominguez on the roster
•Not willing to assure Volpe starting SS job upon return
•Promoted 20-year #1 prospect George Lombard Jr to AAA
The Yankees owned a 7 game division lead last May and watched it slip away. Seems as if they’ve kept that in the back of their head.
English
Anthony Volpe’s rehab is nearing its end and the #Yankees have an unexpected move on the table. 👀 #RepBX
It's unthinkable, but Triple-A demotion is not ruled out.

@YankeeLibrarian more matter of fact, they may not need much in BP
with weathers and Erc. and Lombard isnt Ideal. I think the opposite.
English
If the Yankees make trades this summer, it should be for pitching.
Specifically, the bullpen.
That might mean George Lombard Jr. plays short or third — which isn't ideal — but they can get by with him. They can't get by with this pen.

When more knowledgeable accounts identified Ben Rice’s bad luck in 2024 and pointed out a future correction phase, this is what this account was tweeting. My suggestion to everyone is to follow accounts that actually is worth your time.
Gary Sheffield Jr.@GarysheffieldJr
@guy92288 And when I said he’s better than that, he is in fact not better than that. Predictably obtuse.
English
@_24kin You couldnt be more wrong,. moron and scumbag!! @GarysheffieldJr
English
The issue with Gary Sheffield Jr isn’t just that he’s a moron spewing garbage online who got where he is through nepotism
The issue is that if you call any of this out, he will tell you your father is a loser.
So he’s a moron, and he’s a scumbag
English
.@JackCurryYES says that if all goes well, he expects this to be the rotation (in whatever order):
Fried
Schlittler
Cole
Rodón
Warren
Elmer and then Weathers would go to the bullpen.
When Jack speaks, listen.
