As the Yankees gear up to face the Houston Astros in a critical four-game set in the Bronx, they’ll add Oswaldo Cabrera to the mix as they do some roster shuffling. The placement of Domingo German on the Restricted List created room for the addition of Kenyan Middleton in their bullpen, and with Anthony Rizzo’s recent struggles, the news that he was placed on the IL paint a much clearer image of his stark decline.
The Yankees are placing 1B Anthony Rizzo on the IL with concussion issues stemming back to the Tatis collision, and the Yankees figure they could just align the infield with Jake Bauers at 1B, Gleyber Torres at 2B, Anthony Volpe at SS, and DJ LeMahieu at 3B with Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the mix for starts at 2B/3B/SS, as well as the aforementioned Oswaldo Cabrera.
