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.

Caballero went 2-for-4 with one RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero picked up his second multi-steal game of the week, and he was able to snap an 0-for-10 funk at the plate. The second baseman is up to 15-for-17 on the basepaths this year, but he's had some trouble hitting consistently with a .233 batting average. He's managed to offset that with a solid 12.2 percent walk rate over 180 plate appearances, helping him achieve a .361 on-base percentage.

Caballero recorded two stolen bases and scored one run in Monday's 6-5 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero ran for Mike Ford in the ninth inning and proceeded to steal second and third before scoring on a J.P. Crawford sacrifice fly. He's been on the bench to begin two of the Mariners' three games in July, so it appears Caballero's playing time could be on the decline. Caballero is 13-for-15 on the basepaths while adding three home runs, 19 RBI, 20 runs scored and .239/.375/.358 slash line through 54 contests.

Caballero isn't in the Mariners' lineup Saturday against Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero is 3-for-7 with a home run over his last two games and will receive a day off Saturday. Kolten Wong will take over at the keystone and bat ninth.
