Back with Yankees, Volpe playing second base for first time in bigs

Anthony Volpe returned to the New York Yankees on Thursday, batting ninth and playing second base against the Rockies — his first Major League appearance at a position other than shortstop. His recall was prompted by infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. being placed on the 10-day injured list with a right thumb sprain sustained on Tuesday, with Chisholm expected to return around September 22. During his time at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he was optioned in early August, Volpe made 19 starts at second base and three at third base to expand his versatility.
