New York Yankees outfielder Oswaldo Cabrera is making another start in right field and is batting sixth in the order on Monday against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Merrill Kelly. It will be Cabrera's 12th straight start for the Yankees, with most of his starts coming with rookie Everson Pereira sidelined due to a nagging hamstring injury. Pereira has returned on Monday, while Giancarlo Stanton will be given the day off. The 24-year-old Cabrera has hit .246 (14-for-57) with a home run, three doubles, four RBI, one stolen base and six runs scored in 17 games (16 starts) in the month of September. However, he's hitting just .221 (60-for-271) with five homers and eight stolen bases on the year in pinstripes.
New York Yankees utility man Oswaldo Cabrera will be heading to Triple-A soon, according to Jack Curry of YES Network. With Josh Donaldson (hamstring), Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring), and Tommy Kahnle (biceps) ready to return, likely on Friday, the club is in need of a few roster spots. Cabrera has been struggling over 50 games, batting .195 with three homers, 18 runs, 15 RBI, and five stolen bases. With the demotion, the 24-year-old will lose all of his value in redraft leagues, and fantasy managers should only roster him in dynasty formats.
Oswaldo Cabrera Continues To Struggle At The Plate
New York Yankees utility fielder Oswaldo Cabrera went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in his most recent start on Monday. Cabrera has had an abysmal start to the season, slashing .195/.246/.292 through the first two months. The 24-year-old has been a valuable team member due to his defensive versatility. Still, with Josh Donaldson and Giancarlo Stanton returning from IL soon, Cabrera may have an even harder time finding his way into the starting lineup. New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke in support of Cabrera, but a demotion may not be out of the question due to his poor offense production. Fantasy managers should continue to roster him in dynasty leagues and deep-league formats for now.
New York Yankees utility fielder Oswaldo Cabrera added another position to his repertoire after playing some center field in Wednesday's 4-0 loss against the St. Louis Cardinals. Cabrera made his first pro appearance in center field after subbing in for Harrison Bader. He even made a diving catch, demonstrating his ability to play almost anywhere on the diamond. Manager Aaron Boone noted that Cabrera's stint in center field is "showing us that anywhere you put him on the field, he can make a play." The 24-year-old made an immediate impact after a late-season call-up to provide some outfield depth. His defense quickly impressed, and his bat showed some life as well. Cabrera compiled a .740 OPS with six home runs across 171 plate appearances. The Yankees expect Cabrera to serve as a utility man throughout the season, with some pop to accompany it.
New York Yankees shortstop Oswaldo Cabrera is on the team's roster for their American League Championship Series matchup with the Houston Astros. The 23-year-old hit .247 with a .312 on-base percentage, six home runs, and three stolen bases in 171 regular-season plate appearances. He's hitting .105 with a home run and no walks in 19 playoff plate appearances this season. All told, Cabrera started the last four games of New York's American League Division Series against the Cleveland Guardians, with three of those starts coming at shortstop and one in left field.
New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Oswaldo Cabrera is having a tough postseason debut thus far. That didn't change when he went 0-for-4 with a pair of punchouts in Tuesday's 5-1 Division Series game five victory against the Cleveland Guardians. The rookie's hitting just .105 with 10 strikeouts, one home run, and a .421 OPS over five playoff contests. Cabrera had a decent 44 games during the regular season, slashing .247/.312/.429 with six homers, 21 runs, 19 RBI, and three stolen bases, but struck out 25.7% of the time. He'll try to change his fortune in the next series when the Yankees face the Houston Astros but might find the same results against some of the league's best pitching.
New York Yankees infielder Oswaldo Cabrera is in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday for the fifth game of their American League Division Series matchup with the Cleveland Guardians. Cabrera is batting sixth for New York against the Guardians and right-hander Aaron Civale. During the regular season, the infielder hit .247 with a .312 on-base percentage, six home runs, and three stolen bases in 171 Major League plate appearances. He's collected a double and a home run in 15 postseason plate appearances so far.
The New York Yankees called up infield prospect Oswaldo Cabrera from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, and he'll make his major league debut against Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Corey Kluber. Cabrera is starting at third base and is hitting sixth in the batting order. The 23-year-old is the team's No. 14 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and the switch-hitter was batting .262/.340/.492 with an .832 OPS, eight home runs, 29 RBI, 29 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 47 games at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to earn the call-up. He'll likely be in a utility role once DJ LeMahieu (toe) returns to the lineup, but the good news is that he can play pretty much everywhere on the infield and he's also seen time in the corner outfield spots in the minors.
New York Yankees infielder Oswaldo Cabrera was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday. Cabrera has yet to make his Major League debut but did reach Triple-A last season, batting .500 with a .583 on-base percentage, five home runs, and a stolen base in 36 plate appearances at the minors' highest level. While he won't open the season with New York, he's someone to keep an eye on in dynasty leagues and as a potential call-up later in the year. The 23-year-old hit .200 with a .273 on-base percentage and a home run in 11 Grapefruit League plate appearances this spring.
