The Yankees still don’t know if Volpe will be ready to rejoin the team when they take on the Orioles over the weekend.
Volpe is set to continue his rehab in Double-A on Tuesday and Wednesday, then they’ll see how he’s feeling from there.
The young slugger has been swinging a hit bat thus far during his rehab, hitting .308 with a homer and three RBI across eight minor league games.
He’s played shortstop in all of those games, and has committed just one error.
Volpe has missed the first few weeks of the season as he continues working his way back from shoulder surgery he underwent in October.
There had been some thought that with Luis Gil being sent down, Rodon would be ready to return the next time the team needs a fifth starter on May 5.
The left-hander is set to make his second rehab outing on Thursday, jumping up to Double-A after a successful High-A outing on Friday.
He allowed just one hit and struck out four across 4.1 scoreless innings.
Rodon reached up to 65 pitches (43 of which were strikes), so the hope is that he’ll be able to stretch out to around 75 in this next outing.
He’ll likely need a couple of more appearances before coming back.
The Yanks continue playing things safe with their ace on his road back from Tommy John, but he is set to shift his rehab back to Somerset on Wednesday.
Cole began the assignment there before being bumped down to High-A last week, where he allowed two runs across 4.1 innings of work.
He’s now allowed five runs (four earned) over his first two appearances.
Rodon is expected back first, but Cole will also likely require a handful more outings before the Yanks are comfortable working him back into the mix.
