Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera tagged Corbin Burnes for a two-run shot in the fifth inning, plating Jose Trevino for the Yankees' only runs. The long ball was Cabrera's first since April 13. His two hits were his first of the series, entering Wednesday's contest 0-for-7 in the first two games of the four-game bill. Through 110 plate appearances, Cabrera is slashing .262/.300/.417 with 18 RBI and two stolen bases.

Cabrera went 2-for-8 with a home run, a double, a walk and three total RBI in Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera had the Yankees' biggest hit in Game 1 of the twin bill, swatting a two-run homer in the sixth inning that proved key in a narrow 3-2 victory. The third baseman added a run-scoring double in the nightcap to round out a productive day. Cabrera has reached base safely via hit or walk in all but one of his 11 contests so far this season and is slashing .317/.378/.585 with three homers, 11 RBI and eight runs through 45 plate appearances.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The switch-hitting Cabrera finds himself on the bench for the third day in a row, with each absence coming against a left-handed starting pitcher. He looks as though he could occupy the larger side of a platoon at third base with the right-handed-hitting Jon Berti until DJ LeMahieu (foot) is ready to return from the injured list.

Cabrera is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Marlins, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera has now started nine of 11 games this season, with eight of the starts coming at third base. He will yield to Jon Berti in this one, marking the second straight time Berti has been at the hot corner against a left-hander.

Cabrera is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Toronto is sending left-hander Yusei Kikuchi to the mound, so the Yankees are going with Jon Berti at third base while the switch-hitting Cabrera begins this one on the bench. After going 7-for-13 in his first three games of the season, Cabrera is 2-for-13 over his last four contests.

Cabrera went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday in a 5-3 win against Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Yankees manager Aaron Boone hinted Friday that newly acquired Jon Berti could make his first start of the campaign the following day, but Cabrera swung such a hot bat in the team's first two games that he remained in the lineup instead. That decision paid off when Cabrera slammed a two-run homer to right field in the seventh inning Saturday to tie the score. The 24-year-old is slashing an eye-popping .538/.538/1.077 with two homers and six RBI through 13 plate appearances.

Cabrera went 4-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Friday's 7-1 win against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
After going 2-for-4 with a home run on Opening Day, Cabrera knocked four more hits and drove in three more runs Friday. He's gone 6-for-9 with two extra-base hits and four RBI through two contests while starting at third base in place of the injured DJ LeMahieu (foot). The Yankees acquired Jon Berti on Thursday, and Berti is expected to make his first start of the campaign Saturday (per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com), but Cabrera's hot start could help him stay in the lineup more often than not, at least for as long as LeMahieu remains on the shelf.

Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's 5-4 win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera singled in the fifth inning before coming around to score when Anthony Rizzo was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The 25-year-old Cabrera then tied the game 4-4 with a solo homer off Rafael Montero in the sixth, pulling a two-strike slider into the right field bleachers. The switch-hitting Cabrera hit just five home runs in 115 games last season while slashing .211/.275/.299. He figures to see an expanded role due to DJ LeMahieu (foot) being sidelined, though the newly acquired Jon Berti figures to be in the mix at third as well.

Cabrera will start at third base and bat ninth in Thursday's season opener in Houston.
EDGE Analysis
New acquisition Jon Berti was a late arrival in Houston, which is why Cabrera is getting the nod at the hot corner in place of the injured DJ LeMahieu (foot). The Yankees could lean on something of a timeshare at third base between Cabrera and Berti until LeMahieu is ready to return from the injured list.
