Cabrera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera's first homer of the season was the only offense New York could muster against Toronto. Through 17 games (63 plate appearances), he is slashing .233/.254/.317 and has struck out 18 times, including five strikeouts and just two hits over his last five contests.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera closed the Yankees' weekend series in Baltimore by going 0-for-8 with four strikeouts in the final two contests, so he'll get a day off to clear his head while the team opens a series in Cleveland. Franchy Cordero checks in for Cabrera in left field.

Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
His two-run double in the sixth inning gave the Yankees their only lead of the game, and Cabrera chipped in an RBI single in the eighth as well. The 24-year-old is having a strong start to the season, batting .368 (7-for-19) through six games, but Friday's RBI and steal were his first of the year.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera will cede duties in left field to Aaron Hicks after making each of the first three starts at the position while going 3-for-12 with six strikeouts. Though Hicks remains the more battle-tested veteran, his offensive production has fallen off a cliff since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, and his exorbitant contract may be the only thing keeping him on the roster at this point. With that in mind, Cabrera should have a decent amount of leash as a near-everyday player, at least until the Yankees get outfielder Harrison Bader (oblique) back from the injured list.

Cabrera is starting in left field and batting seventh for the Yankees in Thursday's opener versus the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees are going with Aaron Judge in center field, Giancarlo Stanton in right field and Gleyber Torres in the designated hitter spot, which means Aaron Hicks is on the bench for the opener. Cabrera had a .741 OPS in his first taste of the big leagues last season and followed up with a .333/.382/.608 slash line during spring training.

Cabrera was informed by the Yankees on Sunday that he's made the Opening Day roster, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old had a .741 OPS in his first taste of the big leagues last season, and it's not a surprise he earned a roster spot after he posted a .333/.382/.608 slash line during spring training. Cabrera is poised to fill a super-utility role, though he could see more run in the outfield early on since Harrison Bader (oblique) is set to begin the season on the injured list.

Cabrera made his professional debut in center field in the Yankees' Grapefruit League game against St. Louis on Wednesday, Pete Caldera of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera played mostly at second base and shortstop in the minors, but he was used more versatilely after being called up to the Yankees last season, logging time at all four infield positions and both corner-outfield spots. In his pro debut in center during Wednesday's exhibition, he made a diving catch and didn't show any signs of struggle, perhaps giving the team some confidence in his ability to play there. It's unclear if the Yankees are considering putting Cabrera in center field at any time during the regular season, but there may be a need for more depth there after Harrison Bader was sent for tests Thursday due to discomfort in his left oblique.

Cabrera is out of the lineup Wednesday for Game 1 of the Yankees' American League Championship Series matchup with the Astros, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera will take a seat for the first time in the postseason after he started either at shortstop or in left field during the Yankees' five-game series victory over the Guardians in the past week. He went 2-for-19 in those contests and could be in danger of losing out on playing time in the ALDS if manager Aaron Boone elects to have Giancarlo Stanton play regularly in left field.

Cabrera will likely start at shortstop for Game 5 of the ALDS against the Guardians on Monday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera drew the start at shortstop for Sunday's Game 4 win over Cleveland and went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. In spite of his struggles at the plate, manager Aaron Boone said after the game that the 23-year-old will likely be in the lineup for a second consecutive matchup as the Yankees attempt to advance to the ALCS.

Cabrera isn't in the lineup Monday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera has recorded hits in eight consecutive games, slashing .419/.471/.677 with a homer, two triples, a double, eight RBI, four runs, two walks and six strikeouts during that time. He'll get a breather while Marwin Gonzalez starts in left field and bats ninth.
