Sits in favor of Cabrera Kiner-Falefa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Kiner-Falefa will sit for the second time in four games while manager Aaron Boone continues to look for ways to keep Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre call-up Oswaldo Cabrera in the lineup. In addition to picking up two starts at shortstop, the versatile Cabrera has also drawn starts in right field and third base over the past five contests, so Kiner-Falefa won't necessarily be the main player to lose out on work in favor of the rookie.

Not starting Thursday Kiner-Falefa is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.

Hits first homer in three-RBI night Kiner-Falefa went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a game-winning RBI bunt single in a 3-2 victory over the Red Sox on Saturday.

Impact Kiner-Falefa led his team to victory over their division rivals with a three-RBI performance that mixed the long ball with some small ball. The 27-year-old shortstop had 379 consecutive plate appearances this season without a home run but tallied his first of the season with a blast over the Green Monster at Fenway Park. He then gave his team the go-ahead run on a perfectly placed bunt up the first base line to score Andrew Benintendi from third in the ninth inning. Kiner-Falefa is hitting .271 with 15 stolen bases on the season. Despite not having much power, his solid defense and contact ability make him everyday player at the bottom of the Yankees lineup.

Sits in series finale Kiner-Falefa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Back-to-back two-hit games Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Kiner-Falefa has turned in two straight two-hit games, lifting his average to .275. The 27-year-old is tied for third on the team in games played this season, but that's largely on the back of his solid glove at shortstop along with the Yankees' lack of a reliable backup at the position. Despite the heavy volume of plate appearances, Kiner-Falefa has zero home runs, 32 RBI and 47 runs, with his fantasy value overwhelmingly derived from his batting average and stolen-base production (15 steals in 19 attempts).
