@volpeeonyou: “Let’s go GOAT is back”
@JudgeDaddy99: “Super hyped to get Volpe back. Future superstar in the making. Showed ton of promise last year, I fully expect a breakout season from AV11.”
@Barishn22: “Gotta think it’s 10ish games. Also odd that they would send him to Somerset…maybe Lombard plays 3B while he’s there?”
@JohnnyMcMa60482: “And he still will need to go through his Spring Training process, so it’ll be towards the middle of May.”
@FourSavages: “According to @eboland11, the plan is for Anthony Volpe to begin his rehab assignment early next week on Tuesday in Somerset. We will likely see him back pretty soon.”
