New York Yankees shortstop prospect Anthony Volpe is taking a crucial step towards returning to the field after an injury setback. The 21-year-old phenom began a rehab assignment on Tuesday, and what better way to gauge his progress than with a challenge against one of the best pitchers in the league? Volpe faced off against Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler, a formidable opponent known for his high-speed fastball and sharp slider. As Volpe looks to regain his form and potentially make a splash in the Yankees' lineup, this early test against Wheeler will be a telling indicator of his readiness to return to action.
