Cabrera went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

Cabrera's playing time predictably dropped when the Yankees traded for Jazz Chisholm, but Chisholm is now out indefinitely with an elbow injury. This has opened up third base for Cabrera, who has hit safely in each of his last five games. The utility man is at a .248/.294/.376 slash line with eight home runs, four steals, 35 RBI and 39 runs scored across 280 plate appearances this year.

Soto went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, three walks and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

Soto opened the scoring with a first-inning solo shot. He walked in his last three plate appearances, including once intentionally during the Yankees' eighth-inning rally. Soto's last six hits (over a span of four games) have all been homers, giving him 34 on the year. He's added a .307 average, 1.052 OPS, 87 RBI and a major-league-leading 103 runs scored through 118 contests.

Wells went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional RBI in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

Wells' homer was his first since July 26, though he batted a strong .298 over the 14 contests between long balls. The catcher continues to bat cleanup versus right-handers, keeping him in a prime spot to rack up RBI in a strong lineup. For the season, Wells is slashing .257/.347/.426 with nine homers, 36 RBI, 32 runs scored and one stolen base over 292 plate appearances.

Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base in a 6-1 win against the Cubs on Wednesday.

Gimenez notched three of Cleveland's seven hits and drove in half of the team's runs in the productive performance. The trio of RBI pushed his season total to 50, while the theft moved him up to 20 on the campaign. Gimenez has now driven in at least 50 runs and stolen at least 20 bags in three straight seasons.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

Judge slugged his 300th career homer when he went deep in the eighth inning. He became the fastest player in major-league history to reach the 300-homer mark, doing so in his 955th game to easily surpass Ralph Kiner (1,087 games) to that milestone mark. Judge is batting .500 (20-for-40) with four homers over 12 games in August, lifting his slash line to a stellar .333/.467/.707 with 43 long balls, 110 RBI, 95 runs scored, six stolen bases, 28 doubles and a triple through 120 contests.

Cobb (1-1) earned the win over the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 5.2 innings.

Cobb struggled in his team debut last Friday, allowing five runs (four earned) over 4.2 frames. He was much better in his second outing, yielding just a fourth-inning run while getting through 5.2 frames on a relatively efficient 80 pitches. Cobb may still be on a mildly regulated pitch count since he missed the first four-plus months of the campaign following offseason hip surgery and topped out at 69 pitches during his minor-league rehab stint, but he should have any restriction lifted soon. His next start is projected to be a tough matchup against the Yankees in New York.

Tonkin allowed two hits and struck out two without walking a batter over three innings to earn the save in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

The Yankees pulled ahead in the seventh inning and then rallied for more in the eighth, so Tonkin stayed in the game and ended up with his second save of the year. This was just his second scoreless appearance in nine outings since the All-Star break. He's added one hold this season while rarely featuring in high-leverage spots. Tonkin has a 3.21 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 63:22 K:BB over 61.2 innings between the Yankees, Mets and Twins in 2024.

Warren allowed two runs on seven hits and struck out five without walking a batter over five innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Wednesday.

Warren exited with the Yankees down 2-1, but they rallied for nine runs between the seventh and eighth innings. This was the best of Warren's three appearances in the majors this season. He's allowed 14 runs over 14.2 innings while posting a 17:5 K:BB. The 25-year-old is expected to be sent back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the near future since this was likely just a spot start to build in some rest for the Yankees' other starters.

Estes (5-5) allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out three without walking a batter over 5.1 innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Mets.

Estes mostly kept the Mets in check, though he yielded solo home runs to Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso. This was the first time since June 16 that Estes yielded multiple homers in an outing. The right-hander is now at a 4.72 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 66:21 K:BB through 87.2 innings over 17 appearances (16 starts). He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Rays.

Caminero went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

Caminero has gone 1-for-7 with a walk and three strikeouts over his first two major-league games this season. He's started against both a left-hander and a right-hander in those contests, which suggests the Rays are willing to let the top prospect handle an everyday role initially. His steal Wednesday was his first in the majors, though it's not likely to be a big part of his game since he's never stolen more than 12 bases across all levels in a single year.
