Yankees GM Brian Cashman finally addresses the media, opening up about the rash of late-season injuries and their impact on 2026. He makes a stunning reversal on Anthony Volpe's struggles, admitting the shortstop's shoulder surgery showed the injury was "more severe" than previously claimed, and confirms Volpe will start the season on the Injured List (IL). Cashman also reveals Carlos Rodón will undergo surgery for a bone spur/loose objects and will also miss the start of 2026, creating immediate, serious holes in the roster. While defending manager Aaron Boone and expressing a strong desire to re-sign Cody Bellinger, Cashman's comments shift the focus from the team's postseason failure to a daunting injury crisis that already threatens next year's campaign.
