Caballero is not in Saturday's starting lineup against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Even with lefty Clayton Kershaw on the mound, Caballero will find himself on the bench. Dylan Moore will start at second base in his place while Sam Haggerty will play in left field.

Caballero walked, scored a run and stole a pair of bases in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero drew a walk as a pinch hitter for Dominic Canzone to lead off the seventh inning. He'd go on to steal both second and third base before scoring the Mariners' first run on a Josh Rojas bunt single. The 26-year-old Caballero hasn't started since Saturday, though he's come off the bench in three straight games. He's now logged five steals in his last eight contests, improving to 25-for-28 in stolen base attempts this season while slashing .240/.371/.340 with three homers, 33 runs scored and 24 RBI across 248 plate appearances in his rookie campaign.

Caballero (shin/hamstring) appeared off the bench in Monday's and Tuesday's wins over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
He drove in a run as a late-inning replacement Monday and was caught stealing as a pinch-runner Tuesday. Caballero hasn't started a game since Saturday and is not in Wednesday's lineup, but he looks to be over his shin and hamstring issues.

Mariners manager Scott Servais said that Caballero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros due to a sore shin as well as some minor hamstring tightness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Servais added that Caballero will still be available off the bench if needed, so neither the shin nor the hamstring injury seem to be anything that will result in him being moved to the 10-day injured list. Caballero went 7-for-18 with three doubles, two walks, five runs, three stolen bases and one RBI while starting each of the last five games at shortstop, but his time as a regular in the Seattle lineup is likely to end soon with J.P. Crawford (concussion) on track to return from the 7-day injured list during the Mariners' series in Chicago that begins Monday.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero started the past five games at shortstop and will head to the bench after going 7-for-18 with three doubles, three steals, an RBI and five runs during that span. Dylan Moore is starting at shortstop Sunday, but both players' playing time at the position will dwindle in the near future with J.P. Crawford (concussion) on a rehab assignment and close to being activated from the injured list.

Caballero picked up his 20th stolen base of the season as a pinch runner in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero was out of the lineup for the third game in a row, but he made a small impact off the bench. The second baseman has five steals since the All-Star break and 20 for the season. He's slashing .222/.349/.318 through 215 plate appearances, though it appears a combination of Dylan Moore and Josh Rojas will keep Caballero out of the lineup versus virtually all right-handed pitchers going forward.

Caballero went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero was in the lineup for the first time in a week, and he picked up just one at-bat while riding pine. The second baseman has again lost out on playing time to Kolten Wong, and it appears Dylan Moore has also passed Caballero on the depth chart. Nonetheless, Caballero offers some speed -- he has six steals over 14 contests in July, and he's up to 17 thefts on the year. He's added a middling .224/.351/.327 slash line over 202 plate appearances.

Caballero is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against Minnesota, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero will remain on the bench for a fourth consecutive contest Wednesday as he appears to have lost his starting job to Kolten Wong. Wong will take over at second base and bat ninth in the series finale with the Twins.

Caballero went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero's playing time is on the rise again -- he's started four of the last five games at second base, including three times against right-handed pitchers. The 26-year-old has gone just 3-for-16 with one RBI in that span, but it's not like Kolten Wong (4-for-30 in July) is doing much better. Caballero is up to a .228/.354/.333 slash line with 16 steals, three home runs, 21 RBI and 23 runs scored through 198 plate appearances this year.

Caballero is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old made a string of six straight starts from June 11-17, but Kolten Wong, who is starting Sunday, has since reclaimed primary duties at second base with 13 starts in 20 games. Caballero had an .825 OPS in his first 25 games of the season but has struggled to a .619 OPS over the past six weeks.
