Cabrera (biceps) will be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Royals, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Cabrera has been sidelined since April 11 due to a left biceps strain, but he'll be available for Sunday's series finale against Kansas City. The 38-year-old will presumably reclaim his spot in the starting lineup going forward despite slashing .125/.222/.292 with a home run, three RBI and four strikeouts to begin the season. Zack Short was sent down by the Tigers in a corresponding move.

Ford isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cleveland.

Ford had started three consecutive games after he was called up by the Yankees on Tuesday, but he'll now be out of the lineup for a second straight contest. DJ LeMahieu will start at first base while Rougned Odor takes over at second base.

Lewis isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

Lewis had started each of the last three games and went 2-for-12 with a double and three strikeouts during that time. Taylor Trammell will shift to center field while Sam Haggerty starts in left field Saturday.

Rooker isn't starting Saturday against the Pirates.

Rooker will retreat to the bench for a second straight game after he went 1-for-10 with a double, one walk and five strikeouts in his last three contests. Jake Cave will take over in right field Saturday, batting eighth.

Belt went 1-for-1 with three walks, a stolen base and a RBI in Friday's 5-3 win over the Marlins.

Belt walked in each of his first three at-bats of the evening before ripping an RBI single to center in the seventh and then eventually stealing second. The stolen base was a rarity for the 33-year-old and it was encouraging to see Belt finding ways to get on base, as he's now slashing .205/.352/.455 with three home runs, seven RBI, six runs scored and a respectable 10:16 BB:K.

Solak went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-7 loss to the White Sox.

Solak's rebound from a slow start continued unabated Friday with his fifth home run of the season. After batting .209 with a strikeout rate of 35.4 K%, Solak's slashing .367/.472/.767 with four homers, six RBI, five walks and seven runs while lowering his strikeout rate to 16.7 K% over the last eight games.

Martinez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Mariners.

The veteran slugger launched his seventh homer of the year off Yusei Kikuchi in the third inning, extending his hitting streak to eight games in the process. Martinez has already matched in home run total from 2020 in 35 fewer games, and his 1.179 OPS is almost 500 points higher than last year's performance.

Mercedes went 4-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Friday's 9-7 win over the Rangers.

Mercedes drove in two runs with a third-inning single and a later plated another with a double in the seventh. The breakout star is up to 15 RBI and nine extra-base hits with a 1.161 OPS through 67 plate appearances this season.

Ohtani went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to Houston.

Ohtani singled and stole second base in the first inning. He later broke the 0-0 tie with his RBI double in the fifth. The 26-year-old star is slashing .294/.333/.632 with 11 extra-base hits and 14 RBI on the year.

Stanton went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 5-3 win over Cleveland.

Stanton went deep in the third and fifth innings to provide the Yankees' last two runs of the game. The 31-year-old slugger is up to five homers, 14 RBI, seven runs scored and a .180/.254/.443 slash line across 67 plate appearances this season.
