Two more steals Tuesday Caballero went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rays.

Impact The utility infielder got the start at third base and hit ninth in the matinee before returning to the bench for the nightcap. Caballero looks like he'll fall short of his third straight season with 40-plus steals, but his 34 pilfers in 133 games still has him fifth in the AL behind Chandler Simpson (46), Bobby Witt (43), Jazz Chisholm (40) and Jose Ramirez (35).

Twins top Yankees 5-4 in 13 innings on Caratini's single after Judge leaves early with leg tightness

Luke Keaschall went 3 for 5 and scored from second base on Victor Caratini’s game-ending single in the 13th inning to send the Minnesota Twins past the New York Yankees 5-4

Homers, swipes bag Monday Caballero went 2-for-4 with a home run, two total runs, two total RBI and a stolen base Monday in an 8-3 victory versus the Twins.

Impact Caballero got the scoring started in the contest with a solo shot to left field in the third inning. He added an RBI single in the eighth, then stole second before subsequently coming around to score on a Ben Rice single. Monday marked the fourth time this season Caballero has stolen a base and homered in the same game. It was a much-needed productive performance by the utility man, as he entered the contest in a 1-for-19 tailspin at the plate. That's one of the factors that has cost Caballero playing time, as he's started just three times across New York's past eight games.

Regaining playing time Caballero will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Caballero had faded at the beginning of August, but he looks to have recaptured a regular spot in the lineup following Ryan McMahon's (thumb) recent move to the injured list.

Fading into utility role Caballero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Caballero will be on the bench for a second straight game and looks like he'll move into a utility role after the Yankees promoted top prospect George Lombard from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday to take over as their everyday shortstop. The 29-year-old has been a useful fantasy asset with 27 steals to go along with a career-high 12 home runs in 97 games, but he's been far less valuable from a real-life standpoint with a 95 wRC+ across 348 plate appearances.

Powers Yanks during win Caballero went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Cubs.

Impact Caballero supplied all of New York's offense, taking Colin Rea deep for a two-run homer in the third inning. The blast snapped an 18-game homer drought dating back to his two-homer performance on July 6. The infielder has gotten off to a slow start in the second half, batting 9-for-43 (.209) over 13 games, but has found success on the basepaths with five stolen bases over that span. For the season, Caballero is slashing .241/.292/.384 with 11 home runs, 12 doubles, 40 RBI, 37 runs scored and 27 stolen bases across 96 games.
