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

  10/05/2024 • By 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

  08/25/2024 • By 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.

  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.
