What happened

BALTIMORE – Anthony Volpe is back in the big leagues.

Why it matters

The Yankees called up the shortstop on Tuesday with José Caballero likely headed to the injured list ahead of their game against the Orioles at Camden Yards, a source confirmed to The Post.

Common ground

Volpe had been optioned to Triple-A last week after his rehab assignment expired, with Caballero delivering strong play on both sides of the ball to change the Yankees’ original plan to reinsert Volpe as their starting shortstop.

Perspective signals

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