It’s finally happening: the Yankees called up an infield prospect who’s been on a tear in Triple-A. No, it’s not Oswald Peraza, but instead Oswaldo Cabrera, here to try and provide the lineup with a real spark. The 23-year-old has strengths and weaknesses, but he has the potential to make a real, tangible contribution to the Bombers.
The Yankees’ 14th best prospect according to MLB Pipeline, Cabrera has the kind of hitting profile and defensive versatility to help the Bombers get out of their funk. He is no savior, but he can help.
