Cabrera is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.
Even though Cabrera and Oswald Peraza are both right-handed hitters, the two appear to have settled into a de facto platoon at third base. All seven of Cabrera's starts have come against right-handed pitching, and all four of his absences from the lineup have come when the Yankees have faced left-handers. Peraza will make his third straight start against a southpaw Tuesday as the Tigers send ace Tarik Skubal to the hill.

Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Sitting again Sunday
Rotowire
Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Cabrera will take a seat for a second day in a row after starting at third base in each of the preceding five contests. Though Cabrera is batting .316 on the season and still appears to be the preferred option at the hot corner, manager Aaron Boone will reward Oswald Peraza with another start after Peraza went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in Saturday's 10-4 win.
Cabrera isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.
Cabrera will get a chance to rest Saturday after going 3-for-4 with a walk and four RBI during Friday's win in the series opener. Oswald Peraza will fill in at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Drives in four in win
Rotowire
Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a walk and four RBI in Friday's 9-4 win over the Pirates.
Cabrera had a two-run single in the second inning to open the scoring before adding an RBI single in the third and a bases-loaded walk in the fourth. Prior to Friday, the 26-year-old had yet to log an RBI all season, though this was his second multi-hit effort. He's batting .316 (6-for-19) with two walks over 21 plate appearances across seven games so far, and he's seeing strong-side platoon duties at third base in the absence of DJ LeMahieu (calf).

Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Sitting Saturday
Rotowire
Cabrera is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.
Cabrera registered only a .469 OPS against left-handers last season, so he'll step out of the starting nine Saturday with Nestor Cortes due to take the mound for Milwaukee. Pablo Reyes will draw the start at third base and bat seventh.

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: 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.

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.
