Cabrera went 3-for-6 with a double, a run and an RBI in Thursday's 13-4 victory against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera struggled through his first seven major-league contests, hitting .160 with just one extra-base hit. He broke through with a three-hit performance Thursday, notching his second career double and RBI in the seventh inning. Cabrera lifted his batting average over 60 points to .226 with the big effort.

Cabrera will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Since his call-up Wednesday from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Cabrera has now started in five straight games at three different positions (shortstop, third base and right field). Cabrera's versatility will help his case for earning playing time, but he'll still need to show some improvement at the plate to ensure he sticks as a regular in the lineup. Through his first four starts, Cabrera has gone 3-for-15 with six strikeouts.

Cabrera went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's victory over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera's MLB debut may have been unproductive, but his recent endeavors in Triple-A certainly haven't as the 23-year-old boasts a .375 batting average and a 1.133 OPS in 56 at-bats during his last 15 minor league games, including a game on August 14 in which he recorded two triples and a home run. In addition, the second baseman recorded one hit or more in 18 of his last 19 games with a total of 28 hits during that span prior to being called up to MLB.

The Yankees recalled Cabrera from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. He'll make his MLB debut Wednesday against the Rays, starting at third base and batting sixth, according to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Though Cabrera will crack the lineup Wednesday, he picked up starts at three infield spots and the two corner-outfield spots during his time at Triple-A this season and will likely wind up serving as a utility player during his first stint in the big leagues. DJ LeMahieu (toe) is out of the lineup for a fourth straight game Wednesday, but he said he won't require a trip to the injured list and plans to rejoin the lineup for Thursday's series finale, which would close one potential avenue for Cabrera to play regularly. The 23-year-old earned the call to the majors after slashing .261/.340/.494 with eight home runs and 10 stolen bases across 205 plate appearances at Triple-A.

Cabrera announced in a story on his personal Instagram account that the Yankees will promote him from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of Wednesday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera's impending call-up could signal that the Yankees have some concern about the availability of DJ LeMahieu, who has been out of the lineup for the past three games due to an inflamed right toe. If LeMahieu ends up landing on the injured list, the Yankees would likely roll an everyday infield of Anthony Rizzo, Gleyber Torres, Josh Donaldson and Isiah Kiner-Falefa, so the 23-year-old Cabrera would likely be limited to a utility role in his first taste of the big leagues. Cabrera, who owns an .834 OPS to go with 10 stolen bases in 205 plate appearances at Triple-A, has picked up starts at second base, third base, shortstop, right field and left field this season.

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre reinstated Cabrera (shoulder) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera is ready to return to action for the Yankees' top affiliate after he was sidelined for two months due to the shoulder injury. The 23-year-old infielder recently wrapped up a five-game rehab assignment in which he went 5-for-14 with a home run, a double, three walks and three stolen bases between stops at the Yankees' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate and Single-A Tampa.

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre placed Cabrera on its 7-day injured list Monday due to a shoulder issue, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury has already kept Cabrera out of commission for the past week, so his placement on the IL will extend his absence. Cabrera likely won't miss much time beyond the 7-day minimum, as Foley notes that the 23-year-old infielder has been able to take part in pregame activities for the past several days, aside from hitting.

Cabrera was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera received a late-season promotion to Triple-A last year and will return there to open 2022. He spent most of 2021 at Double-A Somerset and had an .803 OPS with 24 home runs, 79 RBI and 19 stolen bases in 109 games to earn said promotion.

Cabrera was added to the Yankees' 40-man roster Friday, Eli Fishman of Pinstriped Pros reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera erased any doubt about this transaction by hitting .500 with five home runs in 36 plate appearances at Triple-A to close the season. He can play all over the infield and will likely return to Triple-A for the start of next season.
