Scouting Report: Walking Cabrera
Houston Astros | RF
Overall
Summary
José Caballero has emerged as a strong performer for the Yankees in 2026, batting .316 with an .896 OPS over his last 22 games after a slow start. However, he recently suffered a right middle finger fracture while diving back to first base against the Brewers on May 11, 2026. Manager Aaron Boone expects him to miss approximately 10 days on the IL. Despite the injury, Caballero has been instrumental in the Yankees' plans, unseating Anthony Volpe as the starting shortstop. He's contributed 4 home runs, 13 RBIs, and 13 stolen bases in 40 games. The organization is optimistic about his quick return, with the fracture expected to be a non-issue once healed.
Strengths
