What happened

BALTIMORE — Anthony Volpe’s long wait to get back into the Yankees’ lineup is over.

Why it matters

Volpe is starting at shortstop in Wednesday’s series finale against the Orioles at Camden Yards, batting eighth as he keeps José Caballero’s seat warm while he is on the injured list with a middle finger fracture.

Common ground

This marks Volpe’s first game in the big leagues since the ALDS last October, after which he underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
