The New York Yankees have designated infielder Oswaldo Cabrera for assignment, surprising fans due to his recent performance at Triple-A with a .288 batting average and a .790 OPS. This move clears roster space for Clarke Schmidt's return from injury but risks losing Cabrera, who still has another minor league option available, as he may be claimed by other teams. Cabrera, 27, joined the Yankees in 2016 and made his MLB debut in 2022, becoming a fan favorite despite spending most of this season recovering from a broken ankle suffered last year.

Story summary
The New York Yankees recently took a surprising step by designating Oswaldo Cabrera for assignment, aiming to clear space on their 40-man roster. Cabrera was sent down after playing only three games with the major league team this season and spending most of his time at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he had a batting average of .288 and an OPS of .790. The 27-year-old utility player, who has been part of the Yankees organization since 2016 and made his MLB debut in 2022, is expected to be claimed by another team given his remaining minor league option. This move comes just after he completed a comeback from a severe injury—a broken ankle sustained during a slide last May in Seattle—highlighting the unexpected nature of his departure despite his popularity within the organization.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
