Caballero went 1-for-2 with an RBI infield single, two walks and a run in a loss to the Red Sox on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero's fourth-inning knock finally put the Mariners on the board after they'd already incurred a 9-0 deficit, and he also came around to score Seattle's second run on a throwing error by Pablo Reyes in the sixth. The rookie has delivered consistently at the plate over his first 20 big-league games following a long minor-league career, with Wednesday's production pushing his average and on-base percentage to .298 and .393, respectively, across 56 plate appearances.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero started in the middle infield in each of Seattle's last three games, though two of those starts came while shortstop J.P. Crawford was managing a left knee injury. With Crawford back in action Wednesday, Caballero will head to the bench and is projected to see infrequent starts as a short-side platoon player moving forward.

Caballero went 2-for-3 and recorded a stolen base in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie's pair of singles extended his hitting streak to five games, while the stolen base was his third of the season and first since April 25. Caballero has quickly generated a .306 average and .350 on-base percentage over his first 40 big-league plate appearances following six-plus seasons in the minors, and although his current .423 BABIP is unsustainably high, he's played a big part in his good fortune by posting an elite 38.5 percent line-drive rate.

Caballero went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a run in an extra-inning win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The multi-hit effort was the first of Caballero's young career and gave his average and OPS boosts of 76 and 120 points to .250 and .611, respectively. The rookie has logged just 31 plate appearances to date, but he's already flashed with a pair of doubles and stolen bases apiece in addition to Wednesday's encouraging performance.

Caballero went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero singled with two outs in the fifth inning before swiping second base and scoring on a J.P. Crawford single. Caballero would add an RBI in the seventh, driving in Cal Raleigh with a sacrifice fly. The 27-year-old Caballero has shown off some speed in his first taste of MLB action, though he's yet to do much with the bat. He's now 3-for-14 with a double, two runs scored, an RBI and two steals through his first five games.
