The New York Yankees made a significant change to their infield plans promoting Anthony Volpe to feature as the team’s starting shortstop on Opening Day against the San Francisco Giants. It leaves a major question regarding Oswald Peraza, who is being sent back to Triple-A Scranton to continue honing his skills and developing his qualities.
Peraza took the demotion in stride, tipping his hat to Volpe and accepting defeat based on his offensive performance this spring.
