Sent down to Triple-A Cabrera was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera on chopping block? Predicting weekend roster moves The Yankees have to drop three players before Friday with Giancarlo Stanton, Josh Donaldson and Tommy Kahnle coming off the injured list.

Option imminent The Yankees will option Cabrera to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre prior to the weekend series against the Dodgers, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Impact As the Yankees prepare to reinstate Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring), Josh Donaldson (hamstring) and Tommy Kahnle (biceps) from the injured list, Cabrera will reportedly be one of the players headed to Triple-A as a result. Cabrera had been an everyday starter for the Yankees before a lengthy slump at the plate demoted him to a utility role. He will likely have to rediscover his swing in the minors before the Yankees allow him back on the major-league roster.

Losing out on starts Cabrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Cabrera was playing on a near-everyday basis in the corner outfield for the first month of the season, but he appears to have transitioned into more of a utility role with Jake Bauers beginning to gain more traction in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. The 24-year-old will be on the bench Wednesday for the third time in the past four games.

Three hits, homer in loss Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's loss against Tampa Bay.

Impact Cabrera got the Yankees on the board with a two-run shot off Zach Eflin in the third inning, his third homer of the year and second in six games. Cabrera has been swinging the bat well, going 5-for-9 in his last three games. He's slashing .220/.260/.339 with 15 RBI, 13 runs scored and five stolen bases through 128 plate appearances. Cabrera has played a fairly regular role in New York while Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) has been out.

Not in lineup Cabrera will sit Saturday against the Rays.

Impact Cabrera finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games. With a .196/.240/.295 slash line on the season, he hasn't made a strong case for everyday at-bats. Isiah Kiner-Falefa - who owns an even worse .187/.238/.213 line - will make his third start in four games in left field.

Sitting Thursday Cabrera is not in the starting lineup Thursday versus the Rays.

Impact Cabrera will get a breather after he went 1-for-10 with a two run home run, two runs scored, a walk and four strikeouts during the three-game series with the Athletics. Jake Bauers will take over for him in left field and bat sixth in the series opener with Tampa Bay.

Knocks second homer Cabrera went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 7-2 win against the Athletics on Monday.

Impact Cabrera produced the first scoring of the contest with a two-run shot to left field in the fifth inning. He also struck out twice in the win, but that hasn't been a big issue for him this season, as he's so far posted a respectable 19.8 percent strikeout rate. Cabrera's bigger concern has been getting on base -- he's walked just five times and has a poor .236 OBP through 111 plate appearances.

Reaches three times Sunday Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Rays.

Impact Cabrera's sacrifice fly in the fifth inning gave the Yankees a comfortable 6-0 lead, though Tampa Bay erased all of it by the end of the sixth. This was Cabrera's most promising performance at the plate in some time -- prior to Sunday, he hadn't logged a multi-hit effort in over three weeks. He's a perfect 5-for-5 on theft attempts this season but has otherwise struggled, slashing .202/.236/.283 with one homer, eight RBI, nine runs and a 5:20 BB:K over 107 plate appearances.

MAY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Saturday Cabrera will be on the bench Saturday against Tampa Bay.

Impact Cabrera has had a fairly steady role this season, starting 26 of the Yankees' first 34 games while appearing at five different positions. That could be changing, however, as he's hit just .188/.218/.260 with one homer and now finds himself sitting for the second time in three games. Aaron Hicks and Jake Bauers will handle the outfield corners.

MAY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Wednesday Cabrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Cabrera will give way in left field to Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who will be manning a corner spot for the first time in the majors after playing each of his other 103 innings in the outfield this season in center. Though Cabrera still looks like the Yankees' preferred option in left for now, he's likely lost some job security after falling into a 3-for-28 slump at the dish over his last nine games.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Thursday Cabrera is not in the lineup Thursday night against the Rangers.

Impact Aaron Hicks is in left field and batting ninth. Cabrera scored two runs Wednesday in the Yankees' win over the Twins, but he is slashing just .216/.244/.297 through 78 total plate appearances this year.

Sits in favor of Cordero Cabrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Cabrera closed the Yankees' weekend series in Baltimore by going 0-for-8 with four strikeouts in the final two contests, so he'll get a day off to clear his head while the team opens a series in Cleveland. Franchy Cordero checks in for Cabrera in left field.

APRIL 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Big day against O's Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Orioles.

Impact His two-run double in the sixth inning gave the Yankees their only lead of the game, and Cabrera chipped in an RBI single in the eighth as well. The 24-year-old is having a strong start to the season, batting .368 (7-for-19) through six games, but Friday's RBI and steal were his first of the year.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits Monday Cabrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Cabrera will cede duties in left field to Aaron Hicks after making each of the first three starts at the position while going 3-for-12 with six strikeouts. Though Hicks remains the more battle-tested veteran, his offensive production has fallen off a cliff since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, and his exorbitant contract may be the only thing keeping him on the roster at this point. With that in mind, Cabrera should have a decent amount of leash as a near-everyday player, at least until the Yankees get outfielder Harrison Bader (oblique) back from the injured list.

Starting in left field for opener Cabrera is starting in left field and batting seventh for the Yankees in Thursday's opener versus the Giants.

Impact The Yanks are going with Aaron Judge in center field, Giancarlo Stanton in right field and Gleyber Torres in the designated hitter spot. That means Aaron Hicks is on the bench for the opener. Gerrit Cole is on the mound for the Bronx Bombers.

Secures roster spot Cabrera was informed by the Yankees on Sunday that he's made the Opening Day roster, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Impact The 24-year-old had a .741 OPS in his first taste of the big leagues last season, and it's not a surprise he earned a roster spot after he posted a .333/.382/.608 slash line during spring training. Cabrera is poised to fill a super-utility role, though he could see more run in the outfield early on since Harrison Bader (oblique) is set to begin the season on the injured list.

Yankees, Tigers lineups Friday | Isiah Kiner-Falefa at 2nd base, Oswaldo Cabrera at SS (3/10/23) The New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers play a Grapefruit League game on Friday in Lakeland, Fla.

MARCH 10, 2023 • NJ.COM

Adds center field to repertoire Cabrera made his professional debut in center field in the Yankees' Grapefruit League game against St. Louis on Wednesday, Pete Caldera of NJ.com reports.

Impact Cabrera played mostly at second base and shortstop in the minors, but he was used more versatilely after being called up to the Yankees last season, logging time at all four infield positions and both corner-outfield spots. In his pro debut in center during Wednesday's exhibition, he made a diving catch and didn't show any signs of struggle, perhaps giving the team some confidence in his ability to play there. It's unclear if the Yankees are considering putting Cabrera in center field at any time during the regular season, but there may be a need for more depth there after Harrison Bader was sent for tests Thursday due to discomfort in his left oblique.
