WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Yankees spun their daily shortstop roulette wheel Friday and for the first time since Sunday, it came up on José Caballero.
After Anthony Volpe started at shortstop for all three games of the Yankees’ series against the Royals in Kansas City — with Caballero starting one of those games at third base and the other in left field — Caballero returned to short Friday to open a series against the Athletics at Sutter Health Park. Caballero went 2-for-4 with a run scored in the Yankees’ 8-2 win.
That meant a night on the bench for Volpe, and taking ground balls at both shortstop and second base before the game — though it remains unclear in what scenario the Yankees would actually use Volpe at second base.
