Player Outlook
Oswaldo Cabrera got the start in left field for the Yankees on Opening Day, but he was optioned down after slashing .195/.246/.292 through the end of May. He bounced between levels over the subsequent months before ultimately finding his way back into regular starts over the finals couple weeks. While he enjoyed a productive two-week stretch in September, the overall numbers were downright ugly apart from his perfect success rate in steal attempts (8-for-8). He makes contact often enough, but the quality of that contact is lacking at this stage. Entering his age-25 season, Cabrera will face stiff competition for a spot on the Yankees' active roster. He could very well end up back in the minors to begin 2024 given that he has two options remaining, though his ability to play all around the diamond should help in his bid for utility role.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Smacks Opening Day homer

    Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's 5-4 win over Houston. Cabrera singled in the fifth inning before coming around to score when Anthony Rizzo was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The 25-year-old Cabrera then tied the game 4-4 with a solo homer off Rafael Montero in the sixth, pulling a two-strike slider into the right field bleachers. The switch-hitting Cabrera hit just five home runs in 115 games last season while slashing .211/.275/.299. He figures to see an expanded role due to DJ LeMahieu (foot) being sidelined, though the newly acquired Jon Berti figures to be in the mix at third as well.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: At third base for opener

    Cabrera will start at third base and bat ninth in Thursday's season opener in Houston. New acquisition Jon Berti was a late arrival in Houston, which is why Cabrera is getting the nod at the hot corner in place of the injured DJ LeMahieu (foot). The Yankees could lean on something of a timeshare at third base between Cabrera and Berti until LeMahieu is ready to return from the injured list.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Could yield to Berti at third base

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone isn't yet certain whether Cabrera or newly acquired Jon Berti will start at third base on Opening Day, Jack Curry of YES Network reports. With DJ LeMahieu (foot) beginning the season on the IL and Oswald Peraza set to miss several weeks due to a shoulder injury, Cabrera didn't appear to have much competition for the role of the Yankees' primary third baseman to begin the campaign. That changed Wednesday, however, when New York acquired Jon Berti in a three-team trade involving the Marlins and Rays. Though there's still a chance Cabrera could start on Opening Day, it's almost certain that he'll yield substantial time at the hot corner to the more-experienced Berti, who racked up a career-high 424 plate appearances last season and hit .294 while compiling 53 runs and 16 stolen bases. By contrast, Cabrera struggled over 330 plate appearances, slashing just .211/.275/.299 with five homers, 29 RBI, 35 runs and eight thefts.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: May start at 3B Opening Day

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday he would be "comfortable" with Cabrera being the Opening Day third baseman with DJ LeMahieu (foot) unlikely to be available, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. The 25-year-old switch-hitter is expected to serve as a utility option for New York this season, but he may be pressed into starting duty early on with LeMahieu banged up. Cabrera struggled to a .574 OPS in 330 plate appearances last season, and he'll likely need a better showing in 2024 if he's going to maintain a role with the big club.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Will bat lefty versus some lefties

    Cabrera, a switch hitter, plans to bat left-handed against some lefty pitchers this season, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports. The switch-hitting Cabrera hasn't hit righties (.628 OPS) or lefties (.640 OPS) well so far at the major-league level, but the Yankees view him as a much better hitter from the left side of the dish. The plan is for the coaching staff to meet with Cabrera before each series and decide which southpaws he will face from the left side. Cabrera is slated for a utility role in 2024.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: On bench Sunday

    Cabrera is not in the lineup Sunday against the Brewers. Everson Pereira, Jasson Dominguez and Aaron Judge will start across the outfield for the Yankees as they take on right-hander Corbin Burnes. Cabrera, 24, has slashed just .219/.324/.219 in 37 plate appearances since being recalled Aug. 3 from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Yankees recalled Cabrera from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday. Cabrera is filling the 26-man roster spot left vacant by Anthony Rizzo, who has landed on the 10-day injured list with post-concussion syndrome. Cabrera, 24, carries a brutal .205/.266/.308 slash line through 215 plate appearances this season at the major-league level.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Yankees optioned Cabrera to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. Cabrera went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Saturday versus the Royals and is batting just .205 with a .574 OPS in 215 plate appearances this season at the major-league level. Greg Allen (hip) or Jake Bauers (shoulder) could fill the vacant roster spot Sunday.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Gets aboard four times

    Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a pair of walks, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 8-7 extra-innings loss to the Rockies. Cabrera's playing time has been sparse since he returned to the Yankees' roster June 22. He's posted a pair of multi-hit efforts, but he's logged just 17 at-bats over 16 contests in that span. The utility man is at a .211/.271/.314 slash line with four home runs, 20 RBI, 26 runs scored and six stolen bases through 204 plate appearances overall.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Sent down Sunday

    Cabrera was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday. Cabrera served in a depth role for the Yankees over the past few weeks, and he's hit .190 with four homers, 19 runs, 18 RBI and five stolen bases over 60 games in the majors this year. However, he'll head to the minors since Harrison Bader (hamstring) is expected to be reinstated from the injured list Tuesday.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Homers in return

    Cabrera homered in his only at-bat during a 6-3 victory against the Dodgers on Saturday. Cabrera was called up prior to the contest following a brief stay with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He came up as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and put the icing on the cake of a Yankees win with a 404-foot solo blast. Cabrera had been in a 4-for-36 slide prior to being demoted Thursday, so this was a much-needed big hit. He could see some opportunities in center field with Harrison Bader (hamstring) and Greg Allen (hip) both on the IL, though Isiah Kiner-Falefa got the start there Saturday.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Option imminent

    The Yankees will option Cabrera to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre prior to the weekend series against the Dodgers, Jack Curry of YES Network reports. As the Yankees prepare to reinstate Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring), Josh Donaldson (hamstring) and Tommy Kahnle (biceps) from the injured list, Cabrera will reportedly be one of the players headed to Triple-A as a result. Cabrera had been an everyday starter for the Yankees before a lengthy slump at the plate demoted him to a utility role, and he's hitting just .195 on the season over 154 major-league at-bats. He will likely have to rediscover his swing in the minors before the Yankees allow him back on the major-league roster.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Three hits, homer in loss

    Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's loss against Tampa Bay. Cabrera got the Yankees on the board with a two-run shot off Zach Eflin in the third inning, his third homer of the year and second in six games. Cabrera has been swinging the bat well, going 5-for-9 in his last three games. He's slashing .220/.260/.339 with 15 RBI, 13 runs scored and five stolen bases through 128 plate appearances. Cabrera has played a fairly regular role in New York while Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) has been out.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Not in lineup

    Cabrera will sit Saturday against the Rays. Cabrera finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games. With a .196/.240/.295 slash line on the season, he hasn't made a strong case for everyday at-bats. Isiah Kiner-Falefa -- who owns an even worse .187/.238/.213 line -- will make his third start in four games in left field.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Sitting Thursday

    Cabrera is not in the starting lineup Thursday versus the Rays. Cabrera will get a breather after he went 1-for-10 with a two-run home run, two runs scored, a walk and four strikeouts during the three-game series with the Athletics. Jake Bauers will take over for him in left field and bat sixth in the series opener with Tampa Bay.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Heads to bench Wednesday

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

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Not in lineup Thursday

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

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Sitting out Tuesday

    Cabrera is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Minnesota, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports. Cabrera is just 3-for-29 at the dish over his last eight contests, so he'll get a day off to regroup. Aaron Hicks will start in left field Tuesday in place of Cabrera.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Hits first homer of season

    Cabrera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays. Cabrera's first homer of the season was the only offense New York could muster against Toronto.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: 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. 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.
