A winner either way: José Caballero traded from Rays to Yankees while teams were playing each other

José Caballero turned an inning-ending double play for the Tampa Bay Rays in the fifth inning, then batted in the sixth

AUGUST 1, 2025 • Associated Press

Shipped to Yankees Caballero was traded from the Rays to the Yankees on Thursday in exchange for Everson Pereira and a player to be named later, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Impact Caballero is essentially a one-category player in fantasy, but he is tied with Oneil Cruz for the league lead with 34 steals this year. In addition to the steals, Caballero has a provided a .226 average, .327 on-base percentage and two home runs in 275 plate appearances. He should serve as a utility player in New York, and it's possible he sees even less playing time after the trade.

On bench for second straight Caballero is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Though the Rays remain without Brandon Lowe (foot) and Ha-Seong Kim (back), manager Kevin Cash doesn't appear ready to commit to Caballero in an everyday role in the middle infield just yet. The American League's stolen-base leader will be on the bench for the second straight day Monday, with both of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. The Rays should have a regular spot in the lineup available for the right-handed-hitting Caballero against left-handed pitching, but he may have to settle for more of a timeshare at second base with the lefty-hitting Tristan Gray when Tampa Bay faces righties.

On bench Sunday Caballero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact Caballero will hit the bench after starting in each of the previous four games, though his outlook for playing time appears to have improved in the wake of Ha-Seong Kim (back) recently joining Brandon Lowe (foot) on the injured list. With Caballero out of the lineup, the Rays will turn to Tristan Gray at second base.

Swipes 33rd bag Caballero went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run, a walk and a stolen base Wednesday against the White Sox.

Impact Caballero continues to see inconsistent playing time, starting three of six games since the All-Star break. That hasn't stopped him from racking up steals, however, as he is tied for the league lead with 33 on the season. Caballero offers little else from a fantasy perspective, as he has only 27 RBI and 34 runs scored across 259 plate appearances for the campaign.

Back on bench Sunday Caballero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Impact After going 0-for-7 while picking up starts in right field and at second base over the past two days, Caballero will retreat to the bench for the series finale in Boston. Though Brandon Lowe (oblique) was recently placed on the injured list, Taylor Walls could end up being prioritized at second base ahead of Caballero, who is regarded an inferior defender and is slashing just .149/.267/.162 since the beginning of June. Despite his lack of a full-time role in addition to his poor production at the plate of late, Caballero still leads the majors with 31 stolen bases on the season.

Cleared to start Monday Caballero (arm) will start at second base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Caballero was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Twins due to right arm soreness, but he was pressed into action in the bottom of the third inning after second baseman Brandon Lowe (side) exited the contest. He went 1-for-2 with a double and two runs while playing the final seven innings in the field, and Caballero apparently experienced no setbacks with his arm coming out of that contest. With Lowe and Ha-Seong Kim (calf) not ready to return to the lineup for Monday's series opener, Caballero will draw a start in the middle infield alongside shortstop Taylor Walls.

Scratched due to arm soreness Caballero was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins due to right arm soreness, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Impact The 28-year-old was penciled in to start at shortstop, but he instead ended up being removed from the lineup card. The specifics of the injury aren't clear, so Caballero should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus Detroit. Taylor Walls replaced him and will bat seventh.

Sitting Friday Caballero is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.

Impact This marks the second consecutive absence for MLB's stolen-base leader (30). With Ha-Seong Kim back from the injured list and taking over as the primary shortstop, Caballero will likely see fewer at-bats, though Rays manager Kevin Cash told Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun on Friday that Caballero will continue to see playing time, adding that both Caballero and Taylor Walls are "big parts of our club."

Tallies 30th steal Caballero went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Tuesday against the Athletics.

Impact Caballero appears to be losing playing time against right-handed pitching, but he started at shortstop and hit seventh against left-hander Jeffrey Springs on Tuesday. He struggled for much of June, but he's now managed at least one hit in four of his last five games and tallied his league-leading 30th stolen base of the season Tuesday.
