The New York Yankees are dealing with ongoing questions at shortstop as Anthony Volpe continues to struggle at the plate this season.
Jose Caballero has taken over the starting role in recent games and has brought steady defense along with speed on the bases. Some in the organization and among observers see him as a reliable option in the spot right now.
Reports have linked the Yankees to Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams as a possible trade target. Abrams offers power and athleticism that could upgrade the position if a deal were to happen.
General manager Brian Cashman has kept the door open for additions at the position ahead of the August trade deadline. The team also has young infield options in the system, including George Lombard Jr.
No trades have been completed at this point, but the shortstop situation remains one area under review as the season moves forward.
