OSWALDO CABRERA NEWS

Sitting Saturday Cabrera will be on the bench Saturday against Tampa Bay.

Impact Cabrera has had a fairly steady role this season, starting 26 of the Yankees' first 34 games while appearing at five different positions. That could be changing, however, as he's hit just .188/.218/.260 with one homer and now finds himself sitting for the second time in three games. Aaron Hicks and Jake Bauers will handle the outfield corners.

Heads to bench Wednesday Cabrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Cabrera will give way in left field to Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who will be manning a corner spot for the first time in the majors after playing each of his other 103 innings in the outfield this season in center. Though Cabrera still looks like the Yankees' preferred option in left for now, he's likely lost some job security after falling into a 3-for-28 slump at the dish over his last nine games.

Not in lineup Thursday Cabrera is not in the lineup Thursday night against the Rangers.

Impact Aaron Hicks is in left field and batting ninth. Cabrera scored two runs Wednesday in the Yankees' win over the Twins, but he is slashing just .216/.244/.297 through 78 total plate appearances this year.

Sits in favor of Cordero Cabrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Cabrera closed the Yankees' weekend series in Baltimore by going 0-for-8 with four strikeouts in the final two contests, so he'll get a day off to clear his head while the team opens a series in Cleveland. Franchy Cordero checks in for Cabrera in left field.

Big day against O's Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Orioles.

Impact His two-run double in the sixth inning gave the Yankees their only lead of the game, and Cabrera chipped in an RBI single in the eighth as well. The 24-year-old is having a strong start to the season, batting .368 (7-for-19) through six games, but Friday's RBI and steal were his first of the year.

Sits Monday Cabrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Cabrera will cede duties in left field to Aaron Hicks after making each of the first three starts at the position while going 3-for-12 with six strikeouts. Though Hicks remains the more battle-tested veteran, his offensive production has fallen off a cliff since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, and his exorbitant contract may be the only thing keeping him on the roster at this point. With that in mind, Cabrera should have a decent amount of leash as a near-everyday player, at least until the Yankees get outfielder Harrison Bader (oblique) back from the injured list.

Starting in left field for opener Cabrera is starting in left field and batting seventh for the Yankees in Thursday's opener versus the Giants.

Impact The Yanks are going with Aaron Judge in center field, Giancarlo Stanton in right field and Gleyber Torres in the designated hitter spot. That means Aaron Hicks is on the bench for the opener. Gerrit Cole is on the mound for the Bronx Bombers.

Secures roster spot Cabrera was informed by the Yankees on Sunday that he's made the Opening Day roster, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Impact The 24-year-old had a .741 OPS in his first taste of the big leagues last season, and it's not a surprise he earned a roster spot after he posted a .333/.382/.608 slash line during spring training. Cabrera is poised to fill a super-utility role, though he could see more run in the outfield early on since Harrison Bader (oblique) is set to begin the season on the injured list.

Adds center field to repertoire Cabrera made his professional debut in center field in the Yankees' Grapefruit League game against St. Louis on Wednesday, Pete Caldera of NJ.com reports.

Impact Cabrera played mostly at second base and shortstop in the minors, but he was used more versatilely after being called up to the Yankees last season, logging time at all four infield positions and both corner-outfield spots. In his pro debut in center during Wednesday's exhibition, he made a diving catch and didn't show any signs of struggle, perhaps giving the team some confidence in his ability to play there. It's unclear if the Yankees are considering putting Cabrera in center field at any time during the regular season, but there may be a need for more depth there after Harrison Bader was sent for tests Thursday due to discomfort in his left oblique.

Bows out of starting nine Cabrera is out of the lineup Wednesday for Game 1 of the Yankees' American League Championship Series matchup with the Astros, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Cabrera will take a seat for the first time in the postseason after he started either at shortstop or in left field during the Yankees' five-game series victory over the Guardians in the past week. He went 2-for-19 in those contests and could be in danger of losing out on playing time in the ALDS if manager Aaron Boone elects to have Giancarlo Stanton play regularly in left field.

Impact Cabrera drew the start at shortstop for Sunday's Game 4 win over Cleveland and went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. In spite of his struggles at the plate, manager Aaron Boone said after the game that the 23-year-old will likely be in the lineup for a second consecutive matchup as the Yankees attempt to advance to the ALCS.
