Anthony Volpe’s path to Yankees’ Opening Day roster has many obstacles

Outside of the injury bug biting the clubhouse at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, the biggest story out of Yankees camp is quite obvious. It’s how good the kids have looked during Grapefruit League action. That includes Jasson Dominguez, but more importantly, we’re talking about shortstop Anthony Volpe.

Dominguez has looked mightly impressive, but there’s no way he’ll be in the Bronx on Opening Day. He’s only played five games above Single-A so far during his young career. But Volpe? He entered camp with a very slim chance of winning the everyday shortstop job, even though Oswald Peraza appeared to be the favorite.
