Claim 1: “Volpe fights to regain the job he lost to José Caballero while rehabbing offseason shoulder surgery.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent web search results confirm the narrative: one source mentions Volpe's offseason shoulder surgery and competition for the shortstop position (Apr 4, 2026), another confirms José Caballero earned the starting job in Volpe's absence (May 13, 2026), and a third reports Volpe's shoulder issues in September 2025. Together, these sources corroborate that Volpe lost the starting role to Caballero while dealing with shoulder surgery/injury recovery.
