Player Outlook
Oswaldo Cabrera got the Opening Day start at third base for the Yankees and cracked seven hits -- including two homers -- in the team's season-opening series in Houston. It was mostly downhill from there and he quickly faded into a utility role. He made just 18 starts in the second half of the regular season, which doesn't exactly bode well for 2025. Cabrera makes consistent contact and hit a career-high eight homers last season, and his defensive versatility is valuable, more so in real life. In another organization, Cabrera might be given more chances, but it's tough to see him breaking out of a part-time role in New York. The bar is simply too high, and Cabrera, who will turn 26 during spring training, hasn't shown that he can clear that bar.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Belts second spring homer

    Rotowire
    Cabrera went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk Sunday in a Grapefruit League victory against the Rays. Cabrera reached in all four of his plate appearances, and his performance was highlighted by a solo shot to left-center field in the fourth inning. Though he played first base in the contest, Cabrera could fill in as New York's starting third baseman with DJ LeMahieu likely to open on the IL due to a left calf strain. Cabrera has proved worthy of a chance to start with his play this spring, as he's slashing .333/.405/.515 with two homers, three RBI, five runs and a stolen base over 37 plate appearances.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Back in lineup

    Rotowire
    Cabrera (illness) will start in right field and bat fourth in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays. An illness has prevented Cabrera from playing since Thursday, but a couple days of rest has him ready to return to action Saturday. The 26-year-old has had a relatively nice camp, going 8-for-28 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored over 10 games.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Out Thursday with illness

    Rotowire
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Cabrera was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers due to an illness, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports. Oswald Peraza was a late addition to the Yankees' lineup in place of Cabrera, who was scheduled to start at third base and bat eighth. Provided the illness isn't anything that keeps him out of commission for more than a few days, Cabrera should still have a good case to make the Yankees' Opening Day roster, especially with DJ LeMahieu (calf) likely to begin the season on the injured list.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Could claim starting 3B job

    Rotowire
    Cabrera is among a group of Yankees who could start at third base on Opening Day if DJ LeMahieu (calf) isn't ready to play, CJ Haddad of MLB.com reports. LeMahieu has said that he doesn't think his calf injury is serious, but the issue nonetheless puts his Opening Day status in doubt. Cabrera could be the next man up if LeMahieu misses regular-season time, as he logged 74 games at the hot corner last season and entered camp as the favorite to back up LeMahieu at the start of the upcoming campaign. Cabrera's stiffest competition for the role, should it become available, is probably Oswald Peraza, though Pablo Reyes -- who is in camp as a non-roster invitee on a minor-league deal -- could theoretically factor into the mix as well.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Sitting out Game 4

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

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Back at first base for Game 3

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

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Starting at first base in Game 1

    Rotowire
    Cabrera is starting at first base and batting eighth in Saturday's Game 1 of the ALDS against Kansas City. 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 pair of fractured fingers. Ben Rice is also on the team's ALDS roster as an option at first base.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Set to lose work with Chisholm back

    Rotowire
    Cabrera remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies. 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.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Sitting against lefty again

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

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Records steal in win

    Rotowire
    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. 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, who 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.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Making second straight start

    Rotowire
    Cabrera will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox. With Jazz Chisholm (elbow) hitting the injured list Wednesday, Cabrera will man the hot corner for the second game in a row and it 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.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Swats home run Sunday

    Rotowire
    Cabrera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers. Cabrera opened up the scoring with a solo home run off the right field foul pole in the third inning. It was his first home run since May 1 and his first extra-base hit since May 5. He started off the year cooking at the plate but has cooled off considerably and now finds himself in a depth role with the return of DJ LeMahieu to the lineup. For the year, Cabrera is slashing .238/.278/.360 with five homers, 22 RBI, 20 runs and a 10:33 BB:K in 176 plate appearances.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Moving into reserve role

    Rotowire
    Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants. Since DJ LeMahieu returned from the injured list Tuesday to make his season debut, Cabrera has unsurprisingly been the odd man out of the New York lineup more often than not. He's made just two starts in the six games since LeMahieu's return and appears set to fill a utility role moving forward after holding down the fort at third base for much of the past two months.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Heading to bench Thursday

    Rotowire
    Cabrera is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins. Cabrera has been the Yankees' preferred option at third base all season, but he's started to cede more work of late to Jon Berti, who will occupy the hot corner for the fourth time in six games Thursday. Given that he holds a 129-point advantage in OPS over Berti for the season, Cabrera should still be the favored option more often than not, but both will see their opportunities take a hit once DJ LeMahieu (foot) eventually returns from the injured list to make his 2024 debut.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Notches fourth homer

    Rotowire
    Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a stolen base during Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Orioles. Cabrera tagged Corbin Burnes for a two-run shot in the fifth inning, plating Jose Trevino for the Yankees' only runs. The long ball was Cabrera's first since April 13. His two hits were his first of the series, entering Wednesday's contest 0-for-7 in the first two games of the four-game bill. Through 110 plate appearances, Cabrera is slashing .262/.300/.417 with 18 RBI and two stolen bases.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Sits again versus lefty

    Rotowire
    Cabrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins. The switch-hitting Cabrera finds himself on the bench for the third day in a row, with each absence coming against a left-handed starting pitcher. He looks as though he could occupy the larger side of a platoon at third base with the right-handed-hitting Jon Berti until DJ LeMahieu (foot) is ready to return from the injured list.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Sitting out Monday

    Rotowire
    Cabrera is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Marlins, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports. Cabrera has now started nine of 11 games this season, with eight of the starts coming at third base. He will yield to Jon Berti in this one, marking the second straight time Berti has been at the hot corner against a left-hander.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Not in Friday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Cabrera is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Blue Jays. Toronto is sending left-hander Yusei Kikuchi to the mound, so the Yankees are going with Jon Berti at third base while the switch-hitting Cabrera begins this one on the bench. After going 7-for-13 in his first three games of the season, Cabrera is 2-for-13 over his last four contests.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Continues torrid start to season

    Rotowire
    Cabrera went 4-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Friday's 7-1 win against the Astros. After going 2-for-4 with a home run on Opening Day, Cabrera knocked four more hits and drove in three more runs Friday. He's gone 6-for-9 with two extra-base hits and four RBI through two contests while starting at third base in place of the injured DJ LeMahieu (foot). The Yankees acquired Jon Berti on Thursday, and Berti is expected to make his first start of the campaign Saturday (per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com), but Cabrera's hot start could help him stay in the lineup more often than not, at least for as long as LeMahieu remains on the shelf.

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

    Rotowire
    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.
