Busy night on basepaths Caballero went 1-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Orioles on Friday.

Impact While several other teammates put together much more sensational stat lines in the Mariners' 13-1 win, Caballero was effective with a small-ball approach out of the bottom of the order. The rookie's steal was his 11th of the season, while the three times he reached safely pushed his on-base percentage to a stellar .377. Caballero has also reached safely in four of his last five games, although he has just one extra-base hit, a double, over that span.

The second baseman is up to 10 steals on 12 attempts this season while slashing .238/.392/.356 with two home runs, 16 RBI and 16 runs scored. He appears to have the edge over Kolten Wong and Dylan Moore for a starting job at the keystone, though Caballero rarely hits higher than ninth in the order.

JUNE 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Caballero has gotten on base in five of his last seven plate appearances, logging four walks and a hit-by-pitch in that span. The second baseman was able to get a start against right-hander Shohei Ohtani on Friday, but Caballero seems to be more of a short-side platoon option at best, and that's not guaranteed to hold with Dylan Moore back from the injured list. Caballero is slashing .244/.396/.360 with two home runs, 13 RBI, 16 runs scored and seven steals through 111 plate appearances this season.

Impact Caballero started in the middle infield in each of Seattle's last three games, though two of those starts came while shortstop J.P. Crawford was managing a left knee injury. With Crawford back in action Wednesday, Caballero will head to the bench and is projected to see infrequent starts as a short-side platoon player moving forward.

MAY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps up hot hitting in loss Caballero went 2-for-3 and recorded a stolen base in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.

Impact The rookie's pair of singles extended his hitting streak to five games, while the stolen base was his third of the season and first since April 25. Caballero has quickly generated a .306 average and .350 on-base percentage over his first 40 big-league plate appearances following six-plus seasons in the minors to open his professional career, and although his current .423 BABIP is unsustainably high, he's played a big part in his good fortune by posting an elite 38.5 percent line-drive rate.
