Cabrera went 2-for-8 with a home run, a double, a walk and three total RBI in Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Guardians.

Cabrera had the Yankees' biggest hit in Game 1 of the twin bill, swatting a two-run homer in the sixth inning that proved key in a narrow 3-2 victory. The third baseman added a run-scoring double in the nightcap to round out a productive day. Cabrera has reached base safely via hit or walk in all but one of his 11 contests so far this season and is slashing .317/.378/.585 with three homers, 11 RBI and eight runs through 45 plate appearances.

Devers (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

The 27-year-old's absence from the starting nine will extend to four games Sunday as he continues to nurse a sore left shoulder. According to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, Devers is going through pregame work Sunday, and manager Alex Cora expects the third baseman to be back in the lineup Monday versus Cleveland. Bobby Dalbec will receive another start at the hot corner with Devers still sidelined.

Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Shota Imanaga will be the third consecutive left-handed starter the Mariners have faced, so Rojas will once again step out of the lineup in favor of Luis Urias, who will start at third base and bat eighth.

The Yankees placed Berti on the 10-day injured list Saturday with an adductor injury, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Berti is slashing .211/.250/.211 across 21 plate appearances to start the season, and he will now be unavailable for at least the next 10 days. Kevin Smith was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move in order to make up for lost depth in the Yankees' infield.

Bregman (illness) is resting at home for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

He popped in the clubhouse briefly, but Bregman wasn't ready to return to action. Mauricio Dubon will start at third base and Bregman is considered day-to-day.

Devers (shoulder) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Angels.

It was initially reported Friday that Devers would likely be back from his shoulder issue Saturday, but it was reported several hours later that he would likely not be back just yet. Devers remains day-to-day, and Bobby Dalbec will start at third base in his stead.

Kiner-Falefa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Rockies.

Getting the start at third base and batting eighth, Kiner-Falefa took Tyler Kinley deep in the ninth inning, although the Blue Jays were in a 12-2 hole at the time. The utility player has already made appearances in six games at second base and eight games at the hot corner, batting .306 (11-for-36) through 13 contests with one homer, one steal, three RBI and four runs.

Dalbec started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 7-0 loss to the Angels.

Dalbec was called up from Triple-A Worcester on Friday and was included in the lineup for Rafael Devers (shoulder). The injured third baseman is also expected to sit out Saturday, per Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe, so Dalbec may get a second straight start. Dalbec, who opened the season on the 26-man roster, is still seeking his first hit (0-for-12).

Urshela isn't in the Tigers' lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Urshela will get a breather to begin Saturday after going 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI during Friday's win. His absence will allow Matt Vierling to pick up a start at third base while batting sixth.

Manager Alex Cora said Friday that Devers (shoulder) will likely sit out Saturday's game against the Angels, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Cora had previously said Friday that Devers was expected to return to the lineup Saturday, but the team may be a little more cautious with its star third baseman. If Devers does end up missing Saturday's contest, it will be the third consecutive start he's missed due to his sore left shoulder, though the team remains optimistic he'll avoid an IL stint.
