The 28-year-old has hit safely in five straight games and has tallied nine steals in the month of May.

Caballero went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero has gone 7-for-21 (.333) with two steals over his last seven games, a span that includes a pair of multi-hit efforts. Playing time is set to get more difficult to maintain for the defensively versatile 28-year-old, but his hot hitting should help him continue to push Taylor Walls at shortstop once Josh Lowe, back from a long-term oblique injury, settles back into right field. Caballero has a .250/.333/.370 slash line with a home run, 12 RBI, 10 runs scored and 10 steals across 105 plate appearances this season. Even if he loses out on a near-everyday role, he'll still be a speedy option off the bench for the Rays.

Caballero will start in right field and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rays are including Caballero in the lineup for the seventh time in eight games, with the versatile 28-year-old drawing four starts in right field and one apiece at third base, second base and shortstop during that span. Caballero will likely continue to be fixture in the starting nine against left-handed pitching, but he could soon have to settle for more of a part-time role versus righties. Taylor Walls has seemingly regained a foothold as the Rays' primary shortstop, Josh Lowe (oblique) returned from the injured list Thursday and Yandy Diaz (personal) is on track to return from the restricted list Friday, which will close off three different avenues for Caballero to get consistent playing time when Tampa Bay faces righties.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero will check out of the lineup after starting five straight games. Three of those starts came at shortstop, and he could see most of his playing time there against right-handers, as the Rays have been scaling back the playing time of the struggling Taylor Walls.

Caballero will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Royals, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he'll be filling in for the left-handed-hitting Kameron Misner in the outfield while the Royals send a southpaw (Noah Cameron) to the bump, Caballero could up seeing steadier playing time at shortstop against right-handers moving forward. Taylor Walls will man shortstop Wednesday, but Caballero had started at the position in four of the previous six contests.

Caballero went 2-for-3 with a walk and three runs scored Saturday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero has gotten the majority of his playing time on the small side of a platoon in right field. However, he was in the lineup at shortstop against a righty Saturday and delivered an impactful performance. Even with part-time playing time, Caballero has five extra-base hits and five stolen bases across 44 plate appearances.

Caballero went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, one run scored and two steals in Sunday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero was a thorn in Atlanta's side throughout the game, driving in a run in the first inning, scoring in the fourth and notching his first multi-steal effort of the season. The 28-year-old is off to a hot start in 2025, slashing .333/.455/.556 with a home run, eight RBI, three runs scored and five steals across 33 plate appearances.

Caballero went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Cabellero jumped on the first pitch from Yusei Kikuchi in the first inning, launching a grand slam to give the Rays an early 4-0 lead. It was Cabellero's first home run of 2025, and the 28-year-old has started the season 5-for-19 with four walks, two stolen bases, one home run and seven RBI.

Caballero will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Caballero has logged six career innings in the outfield over his two-plus seasons in the big leagues, but he'll be making his first start at an outfield spot Wednesday. Though Caballero still seems to be viewed as a utility player, manager Kevin Cash could continue to explore ways to get the speedy 28-year-old in the lineup while he's putting good plate appearances together. Through three games, Caballero has gone 3-for-6 with three walks, one double, three RBI, one run and one stolen base.
