Snags steal in loss Caballero went 1-for-4 with a stolen base a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Caballero has collected four steals on five attempts over his last nine games despite batting a meager .167 (5-for-30) in that span. The infielder is hitting .252 with a .708 OPS, 19 steals, eight home runs, 28 RBI, 32 runs scored and 10 doubles over 71 contests this season. Caballero is seeing steady time in a utility role this month, though it helps that the Yankees have faced left-handed starting pitchers in five of their last seven games.

Goes deep in loss Thursday Caballero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Caballero starred on offense for New York, cranking a solo homer in the fourth inning and also swiping a bag. It was the third time this season the utility man was homered and stolen a base in the same game. Caballero has produced as expected on the basepaths this year, tying for ninth in the majors with 18 thefts. However, he's also given New York an uncharacteristic amount of power, clubbing eight homers through 68 games. His career-best mark is the nine home runs he hit across 139 contests with Tampa Bay in 2024.

Impact Caballero plated a run with a sacrifice fly in the third inning and capped the scoring in the contest with a solo blast to left field in the eighth. It was the second straight game with a long for Caballero, who has flexed his power more than ever this season -- through 60 contests, he's gone deep seven times, putting him near the career-high mark of nine home runs he clubbed across 139 games in 2024. Caballero has added 15 thefts and a .263/.315/.419 slash line this season, giving him plenty of fantasy value with eligibility at multiple positions.

Belts three-run homer Sunday Caballero went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in an 8-3 win over Toronto on Sunday.

Impact The game was tied 3-3 entering the ninth inning, but a two-run homer by Ben Rice and Caballero's three-run shot turned the tide in New York's favor. Caballero has never hit double-digit homers in a campaign, but he's on pace to do so this season with six long balls across 59 contests. He's added a .258/.313/.402 slash line with 21 RBI, 26 runs and 15 stolen bases and has given New York valuable defensive versatility. Caballero jumped from second base to third base to left field in Sunday's game, and he's also also played shortstop and right field this season.
