Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Starting at first base in Game 1
Oswaldo 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
Oswaldo 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 New York 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: Making second straight start
Oswaldo 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 New York 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.

Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Goes deep again Thursday
Oswaldo Cabrera hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in a loss to the Angels on Thursday.Cabrera entered as a defensive replacement at shortstop in the eighth inning as a result of Anthony Volpe departing after fouling a ball off his foot earlier in the contest. Cabrera made the most of his lone plate appearance, swatting a solo shot to left field in the ninth frame. It was his second homer in as many games, and though X-rays on Volpe's foot came back clean, Cabrera could see an uptick in playing time if the former is forced to miss any contests.
