Yankees' Jose Caballero: Hits fifth homer
Jose Caballero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox.Caballero has been the beneficiary of Anthony Volpe (shoulder) sitting out following the latter's injection to address a partially torn left labrum.

Yankees' Jose Caballero: Awarded fifth straight start
Jose Caballero will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.With Anthony Volpe (shoulder) remaining out of the lineup after receiving an injection Wednesday to aid healing in his partially torn left labrum, Caballero will cover shortstop for a fifth straight game. The major-league leader in steals with 46, Caballero has pilfered three bags over his previous four starts in addition to going 5-for-14 with two doubles, one walk, two runs and one RBI. Even if Volpe responds well to the injection and is cleared to play during the upcoming week, it's unclear if he would immediately reclaim an everyday role in the middle infield from Caballero, especially if the latter continues to produce in Volpe's absence.

Yankees' Jose Caballero: Sitting in second straight
Jose Caballero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.Caballero had started three straight contests in the middle infield from Saturday through Monday, but with the struggling Anthony Volpe settling back in at shortstop after a two-game benching, Caballero has moved back into a utility role. Despite being out of the lineup for Tuesday's 5-1 win, Caballero was still able to make an impact with his speed, as he stole his 41st bag of the season after entering the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and drawing a walk in the bottom of the frame.

Yankees' Jose Caballero: Enjoys rare power display Tuesday
Jose Caballero went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk and three total RBI in Tuesday's 13-3 rout over Tampa Bay.The New York Yankees tied a franchise record with nine total home runs in the romp, with three different players clubbing two long balls apiece. Caballero was the least likely of those three -- coming into the contest, he had gone 50 games since his last home run and had belted just two over 96 games on the season. The unexpected power display was another notch in what has been an explosive four-game stretch for the utility man. Caballero has started in each of those four contests at three different positions (right field, shortstop and third base) while going a scorching 7-for-15 at the plate with six runs, four RBI and four stolen bases. While he doesn't have an everyday spot in the lineup and is part of a crowded roster, Caballero's hot stretch has made it hard for the manager Aaron Boone to leave him out of the starting nine.

Yankees' Jose Caballero: Thriving with more playing time
Jose Caballero went 2-for-4 with a walk, three runs and two stolen bases against the Cardinals in a 12-8 victory Saturday.Caballero started in right field for the second straight game, as Giancarlo Stanton got another day off. The speedy utility player has taken advantage of the sudden opportunity, reaching base six times over nine plate appearances while swiping four bases. Given that production, he may begin to see his playing time tick up -- in fact, Caballero is back in the lineup Sunday, this time starting at shortstop in place of Anthony Volpe.

Yankees' Jose Caballero: Starts Friday, swipes two bags
Jose Caballero went 2-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Friday's 4-3 win against the Cardinals.Caballero got a rare start Friday, batting ninth and playing right field while the red-hot Giancarlo Stanton got the day off. It was just the third time Caballero has started a contest since he joined the New York Yankees via a trade with Tampa Bay on July 31. The speedy utility man certainly took advantage of the opportunity by reaching three times Friday and swiping two bases, moving him back alone atop the MLB leaderboard with 37 thefts on the campaign. Despite that impressive total, Caballero has just a .643 OPS on the season, and it's difficult to see him getting more playing time in New York unless an injury or two creates an opening.

Yankees' Jose Caballero: Shipped to Yankees
Jose Caballero was traded from the Rays to the New York Yankees on Thursday in exchange for Everson Pereira and a player to be named later, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.Caballero is essentially a one-category player in fantasy, but he is tied with Oneil Cruz for the league lead with 34 steals this year. In addition to the steals, Caballero has a provided a .226 average, .327 on-base percentage and two home runs in 275 plate appearances. He should serve as a utility player in New York, and it's possible he sees even less playing time after the trade.

Rays' Jose Caballero: On bench for second straight
Jose Caballero is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.Though the Tampa Bay Rays remain without Brandon Lowe (foot) and Ha-Seong Kim (back), manager Kevin Cash doesn't appear ready to commit to Caballero in an everyday role in the middle infield just yet. The American League's stolen-base leader will be on the bench for the second straight day Monday, with both of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. The Rays should have a regular spot in the lineup available for the right-handed-hitting Caballero against left-handed pitching, but he may have to settle for more of a timeshare at second base with the lefty-hitting Tristan Gray when Tampa Bay faces righties.
