Cabrera went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera's playing time predictably dropped when the Yankees traded for Jazz Chisholm, but Chisholm is now out indefinitely with an elbow injury. This has opened up third base for Cabrera, tho has hit safely in each of his last five games. The utility man is at a .248/.294/.376 slash line with eight home runs, four steals, 35 RBI and 39 runs scored across 280 plate appearances this year. Cabrera is a switch hitter, which should given him a reasonable chance at maintaining a platoon advantage over DJ LeMahieu or Oswald Peraza if the Yankees don't want Cabrera in an everyday role.

Cabrera will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
With Jazz Chisholm (elbow) hitting the injured list Wednesday, Cabrera will man the hot corner for the second game in a row and looks like he'll get the first chance to claim the open spot in the Yankees' everyday lineup. Cabrera enters Wednesday's contest with a four-game hitting streak, but he's supplied a modest .245/.292/.375 slash line with eight home runs and three stolen bases across 275 plate appearances on the season. Along with Cabrera, DJ LeMahieu and Oswald Peraza could get looks at third base while Chisholm is out indefinitely.

Cabrera hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in a loss to the Angels on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera entered as a defensive replacement at shortstop in the eighth inning as a result of Anthony Volpe departing after fouling a ball off his foot earlier in the contest. Cabrera made the most of his lone plate appearance, swatting a solo shot to left field in the ninth frame. It was his second homer in as many games, and though X-rays on Volpe's foot came back clean, Cabrera could see an uptick in playing time if the former is forced to miss any contests.

Cabrera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday in the first game of a twin bill versus the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera belted New York's only homer in the doubleheader, smashing a solo shot to right field in the second inning of Game 1. He got the start at second base in that contest but returned to the bench and didn't see a plate appearance in the second game. Cabrera has seen his playing time shrink since the Yankees acquired Jazz Chisholm to play third base at the trade deadline -- Wednesday marked Cabrera's first start at any position across the team's past seven contests.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera had started at third base in the Yankees' last four games, but he looks like he could move into more of a utility role now that Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) has returned from the injured list. With Stanton set to occupy the designated hitter spot in most games and with Alex Verdugo, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto likely to serve as the Yankees' primary outfield configuration, the newly acquired Jazz Chisholm looks poised to get steady playing time at third base. Chisholm hasn't played third base during his time in the professional ranks, but the Yankees will break him in at the position Monday while Cabrera moves to the bench.

Cabrera went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 11-8 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera went deep in the second inning for the Yankees' third homer of the game. While he came up short of a fourth multi-hit effort in five games, the homer was Cabrera's first since June 9. The 25-year-old is slashing .246/.290/.352 with six homers, 30 RBI, 35 runs scored and three stolen bases over 256 plate appearances while picking up playing time at second base and third base. With the Yankees' trade for Jazz Chisholm on Saturday, Cabrera's likely to see a dip in usage, though he could fend that off by staying warm at the plate.

Cabrera will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera will get his first start of the series while DJ LeMahieu hits the bench as the Yankees and Orioles wrap up their first-half schedules. Though LeMahieu has posted a lowly .498 OPS on the season, the Yankees may prefer to explore the trade market rather than turning primary duties at third base back over to Cabrera if the club decides to remove LeMahieu from an everyday role. Cabrera hasn't fared much better in his 230 plate appearances in the majors this season, slashing .237/.284/.341 with five home runs and two stolen bases.

Cabrera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera opened up the scoring with a solo home run off the right field foul pole in the third inning. It was his first home run since May 1 and his first extra-base hit since May 5. He started off the year cooking at the plate but has cooled off considerably and now finds himself in a depth role with the return of DJ LeMahieu to the lineup. For the year, Cabrera is slashing .238/.278/.360 with five homers, 22 RBI, 20 runs and a 10:33 BB:K in 176 plate appearances.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Since DJ LeMahieu returned from the injured list Tuesday to make his season debut, Cabrera has unsurprisingly been the odd man out of the New York lineup more often than not. He's made just two starts in the six games since LeMahieu's return and appears set to fill a utility role moving forward after holding down the fort at third base for much of the past two months.

Cabrera is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera will take a seat Friday after starting in each of the last three games against the Mariners, as Jon Berti gets the nod at third base against Padres right-hander Yu Darvish. Cabrera is slashing .256/.298/.349 with one home run and four RBI in May.
