Caballero is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero will take a seat on the bench Saturday after going 0-for-6 across his last two contests. His absence will put Brandon Lowe at second base and open a spot in the lineup for Yandy Diaz to serve as the designated hitter.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero will get a breather for the series finale while Brandon Lowe and Taylor Walls serve as the Rays' starters in the middle infield. Over his last five games, Caballero has been caught stealing in both of his attempts, but his 44 steals on the season are still good for fourth place in the majors.

Caballero went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's win over Cleveland while also drawing a walk.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero doubled in his second plate appearance before coming around to score on a fielding error. The infielder would then draw a walk and swipe his 40th bag of the season in his next trip to the plate, and later added an RBI single in the eighth. Caballero has now hit safely in four of his last five contests, driving in two runs over that stretch while stealing three bases. He's batting .310 (9-for-29) in September with two doubles, three RBI, three runs and three stolen bases.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero will hit the bench for the series finale after he had been included in each of the Rays' last three games, making one start apiece at third base, second base and shortstop. Though Junior Caminero, Brandon Lowe and Taylor Walls are seemingly viewed as the Rays' top options at those respective positions, expect Caballero to play regularly against left-handers and make at least semi-regular starts versus righties while manager Kevin Cash dishes out periodic off days to his normal starters. Caballero remains worth rostering for fantasy managers still looking to make up ground in the stolen-base department, as his 39 steals on the season are good for fourth in the majors.

Caballero went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases Sunday against Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero continues to serve in a utility role along the Tampa Bay infield and has started five of eight games in August. As has been the case for most of the season, his primary fantasy value has come from stolen bases and he now has 39 on the season.
