Oswaldo Cabrera - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sitting out Game 4 Cabrera is not in the lineup Thursday for Game 4 of the ALDS against the Royals.

Impact Yankees manager Aaron Boone has alternated starts at first base in the ALDS, with Cabrera starting Games 1 and 3 and Jon Berti handling the position in Games 2 and 4. Cabrera is 1-for-5 with a double and three walks in the series.

Back at first base for Game 3 Cabrera will start at first base and bat eighth Wednesday in Game 3 of the ALDS in Kansas City.

Impact Cabrera started Game 1 before yielding to Jon Berti in Game 2, but he will be back at first base for Game 3. The switch hitter went 1-for-4 with a double and three strikeouts in the first game of the series.

Starting at first base in Game 1 Cabrera is starting at first base and batting eighth in Saturday's Game 1 of the ALDS against Kansas City.

Impact Cabrera played primarily at third base during the regular season but made five starts at first. Jazz Chisholm is locked into the starting role at the hot corner for the postseason, so Cabrera is needed much more at first base with Anthony Rizzo left off the roster due to a a pair of fractured fingers. Ben Rice is also on the team's ALDS roster as an option at first base.

Set to lose work with Chisholm back Cabrera remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Before he was on the bench during Saturday's 9-2 loss while righty Bradley Blalock took the hill for the Rockies, Cabrera had started in each of the Yankees' last four matchups versus righties. The switch-hitting Cabrera is now expected to see few starts against both righties and lefties for the foreseeable future after Jazz Chisholm made a quicker-than-anticipated recovery from an elbow injury and returned to action Friday. Cabrera will fill a utility role with Chisholm immediately stepping back in as the Yankees' everyday third baseman.

Sitting against lefty again Cabrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Cabrera has now given way to Oswald Peraza at third base in three consecutive matchups, all against left-handed pitchers. The Yankees could still view Cabrera as their preferred option at the hot corner versus right-handed pitching, at least while Jazz Chisholm (elbow) remains on the injured list.

AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Tuesday Cabrera is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Cabrera started at third base in three of the first four games after Jazz Chisholm (elbow) hit the injured list Aug. 14, but he's yielded to Oswald Peraza at the hot corner in back-to-back contests -- both against a left-handed starting pitcher. Cabrera is slashing .251/.296/.376 with eight home runs in 285 plate appearances this season.

Records steal in win Cabrera went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

Impact Cabrera's playing time predictably dropped when the Yankees traded for Jazz Chisholm, but Chisholm is now out indefinitely with an elbow injury. This has opened up third base for Cabrera, tho has hit safely in each of his last five games. The utility man is at a .248/.294/.376 slash line with eight home runs, four steals, 35 RBI and 39 runs scored across 280 plate appearances this year. Cabrera is a switch hitter, which should given him a reasonable chance at maintaining a platoon advantage over DJ LeMahieu or Oswald Peraza if the Yankees don't want Cabrera in an everyday role.

AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE

Making second straight start Cabrera will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact With Jazz Chisholm (elbow) hitting the injured list Wednesday, Cabrera will man the hot corner for the second game in a row and looks like he'll get the first chance to claim the open spot in the Yankees' everyday lineup. Cabrera enters Wednesday's contest with a four-game hitting streak, but he's supplied a modest .245/.292/.375 slash line with eight home runs and three stolen bases across 275 plate appearances on the season. Along with Cabrera, DJ LeMahieu and Oswald Peraza could get looks at third base while Chisholm is out indefinitely.

AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep again Thursday Cabrera hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in a loss to the Angels on Thursday.

Impact Cabrera entered as a defensive replacement at shortstop in the eighth inning as a result of Anthony Volpe departing after fouling a ball off his foot earlier in the contest. Cabrera made the most of his lone plate appearance, swatting a solo shot to left field in the ninth frame. It was his second homer in as many games, and though X-rays on Volpe's foot came back clean, Cabrera could see an uptick in playing time if the former is forced to miss any contests.

AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in Game 1 of doubleheader Cabrera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday in the first game of a twin bill versus the Angels.

Impact Cabrera belted New York's only homer in the doubleheader, smashing a solo shot to right field in the second inning of Game 1. He got the start at second base in that contest but returned to the bench and didn't see a plate appearance in the second game. Cabrera has seen his playing time shrink since the Yankees acquired Jazz Chisholm to play third base at the trade deadline -- Wednesday marked Cabrera's first start at any position across the team's past seven contests.

Heading back to bench Monday Cabrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Cabrera had started at third base in the Yankees' last four games, but he looks like he could move into more of a utility role now that Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) has returned from the injured list. With Stanton set to occupy the designated-hitter spot in most games and with Alex Verdugo, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto likely to serve as the Yankees' primary outfield configuration, the newly acquired Jazz Chisholm looks poised to get steady playing time at third base. Chisholm hasn't played third base during his time in the professional ranks, but the Yankees will break him in at the position Monday while Cabrera moves to the bench.

Clubs homer in win Cabrera went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 11-8 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

Impact Cabrera went deep in the second inning for the Yankees' third homer of the game. While he came up short of a fourth multi-hit effort in five games, the homer was Cabrera's first since June 9. The 25-year-old is slashing .246/.290/.352 with six homers, 30 RBI, 35 runs scored and three stolen bases over 256 plate appearances while picking up playing time at second base and third base. With the Yankees' trade for Jazz Chisholm on Saturday, Cabrera's likely to see a dip in usage, though he could fend that off by staying warm at the plate.

Getting start to close out first half Cabrera will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Cabrera will get his first start of the series while DJ LeMahieu hits the bench as the Yankees and Orioles wrap up their first-half schedules. Though LeMahieu has posted a lowly .498 OPS on the season, the Yankees may prefer to explore the trade market rather than turning primary duties at third base back over to Cabrera if the club decides to remove LeMahieu from an everyday role. Cabrera hasn't fared much better in his 230 plate appearances in the majors this season, slashing .237/.284/.341 with five home runs and two stolen bases.
