Cabrera will start in right field and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Cabrera will be making his 12th consecutive start Monday, with the 24-year-old having bounced between both corner-outfield spots during that time. Most of those starts have come while Everson Pereira was nursing a hamstring injury, but Cabrera will end up replacing a resting Giancarlo Stanton in the lineup Monday while Pereira returns to the lineup for his first start since Sept. 14. Dating back to Sept. 10, Cabrera is slashing .295/.367/.432 over a stretch of 12 games, so look for the Yankees to find ways to keep his hot bat in the lineup over the final week of the season.

Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Back with big club
Rotowire
Cabrera was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Willie Calhoun (quad) is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list, so Cabrera will take on a utility role in the short term. It's only been four days since Cabrera was optioned to Triple-A for the first time this season after posting a disappointing .190/.238/.298 slash line with four home runs and five steals in 60 games.

Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Sent down Sunday
Rotowire
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.
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: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Yankees recalled Cabrera from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
Cabrera heads back to the majors after being optioned to Triple-A by the Yankees on Thursday. The outfielder will take the roster spot of Greg Allen after Allen was placed on the injured list with a right hip flexor. Cabrera should see time in center with Harrison Bader and Allen both on the shelf, and he's capable of playing several other positions as well.
The Yankees optioned Cabrera to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.
Cabrera received plenty of chances at multiple positions to carve out an everyday role over the past several weeks, but his bat has yet to get going this season. The 24-year-old, who has slashed .195/.246/.292 over 168 plate appearances with the big club, will now head to Triple-A and try to get back on track.

Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Option imminent
Rotowire
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.
