Oswaldo Cabrera’s second half showed signs of small victories for a while. Cabrera came back strong in July and August with a demotion to Triple-A in the middle to reset. He posted a .302 batting average and a 124 wRC+, though only in 51 plate appearances. But Cabrera performed so badly in the first half that he merited little playing time in the ensuing two months, even with the Yankees mixing and matching unknown commodities in the outfield, and even with Cabrera producing better results when he saw the field.
Cabrera doesn’t have a ton of power, but his pull-heavy approach from the left side means he can generate enough to get by.
