Yankees Star Aaron Judge Takes First Step Toward Return, Cleared For Light Workouts

José Caballero - 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.

Bryan Torres - Drawing fourth straight start Torres will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
Impact Torres has been an early beneficiary of Monday's trade that sent Lars Nootbaar to the Diamondbacks. With Nootbaar out of the picture, Torres will pick up his fourth consecutive start in left field. Torres has performed at a near-league-average level this season with a .239/.293/.424 slash line and 97 wRC+ over 100 plate appearances, but the 29-year-old rookie may only be a placeholder in left field until the Cardinals are ready to promote top prospect Joshua Baez from Triple-A Memphis.

Clarke Schmidt - Expected to throw Thursday Manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that he expects Schmidt (elbow/forearm) to play catch Thursday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Schmidt's live batting practice session Tuesday was cut short due to cramping in his forearm, but the issue doesn't seem to be serious enough to warrant pausing his throwing program entirely. Assuming he gets through Thursday's round of catch without any issues, he'll throw a bullpen session over the weekend and could resume facing live hitters shortly afterward.
