Cabrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The switch-hitting Cabrera has been occupying the stronger side of a de facto platoon at third base with the right-handed-hitting Oswald Peraza, so the latter player will enter the lineup Wednesday while the Orioles send southpaw Cade Povich to the bump. Dating back to April 4, Cabrera is slashing .313/.389/.391 with one home run, 11 runs and eight RBI in 18 games, a level of production that could allow him to remain the Yankees' primary third baseman even once DJ LeMahieu (calf/hip) is cleared to return from the injured list.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera appears to be receiving a routine day off after he had started each of the last 10 games while going 10-for-36 with three extra-base hits and five walks. Oswald Peraza will replace him as the Yankees' starting third baseman and No. 9 hitter, but Cabrera's spot atop the depth chart appears secure. DJ LeMahieu (calf) is in the midst of a rehab assignment and should return from the 10-day injured list soon, but after posting a career-worst .528 OPS in 2024, it's unclear if he'll be able to unseat Cabrera as the Yankees' preferred option at the hot corner.

Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera took Rays right-hander Taj Bradley deep in the fifth inning for the switch-hitter's first homer of the year. Although he's batting a strong .308 over 39 at-bats (13 games) to begin the season, Cabrera now has just one extra-base hit to go with zero stolen bases, so he doesn't carry much fantasy upside while regularly batting near the bottom of New York's lineup.

Cabrera is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Royals on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The switch-hitting Cabrera has faced southpaws this season, but it appears he is working in a platoon with Oswald Peraza, who is starting Wednesday at the hot corner and batting ninth against Royals left-hander Kris Bubic. Cabrera is slashing .278/.333/.278 with four runs scored and 10 RBI across 39 plate appearances to start the season.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera has operated as the Yankees' primary third baseman early in the season but will take a seat Tuesday after starting the previous three games. He's batting .278 though 39 plate appearances but doesn't have any extra-base hits. Oswald Peraza is taking his place at the hot corner.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Even though Cabrera and Oswald Peraza are both right-handed hitters, the two appear to have settled into a de facto platoon at third base. All seven of Cabrera's starts have come against right-handed pitching, and all four of his absences from the lineup have come when the Yankees have faced left-handers. Peraza will make his third straight start against a southpaw Tuesday as the Tigers send ace Tarik Skubal to the hill.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera will take a seat for a second day in a row after starting at third base in each of the preceding five contests. Though Cabrera is batting .316 on the season and still appears to be the preferred option at the hot corner, manager Aaron Boone will reward Oswald Peraza with another start after Peraza went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in Saturday's 10-4 win.

Cabrera isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera will get a chance to rest Saturday after going 3-for-4 with a walk and four RBI during Friday's win in the series opener. Oswald Peraza will fill in at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a walk and four RBI in Friday's 9-4 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera had a two-run single in the second inning to open the scoring, then added an RBI single in the third and a bases-loaded walk in the fourth. Prior to Friday, the 26-year-old had yet to log an RBI all season, though this was his second multi-hit effort. He's batting .316 (6-for-19) with two walks over 21 plate appearances across seven games so far, and he's seeing strong-side platoon duties at third base in the absence of DJ LeMahieu (calf).

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera registered only a .469 OPS against left-handers last season, so he'll step out of the starting nine Saturday with Nestor Cortes due to take the mound for Milwaukee. Pablo Reyes will draw the start at third base and bat seventh.
