Caballero Steps Up in Yankees Lineup | New York Yankees News

Yankees roll into LA for a three-game series against the struggling Angels, riding high after a dominant four-game sweep of the Red Sox—including a 16-1 demolition. Lineup shifts ahead of Game 1: Jose Caballero drops to eighth after batting seventh, stepping in at shortstop with George Lombard Jr. sidelined. Austin Wells catches, Elmer Rodriguez starts on the mound, Jazz Chisholm Jr. climbs higher in the order, and Amed Rosario takes cleanup with Paul Goldschmidt resting. Caballero’s defense is key—he’s hitting .241 with 13 homers and 47 RBIs this season, offering steady value despite modest power, making him a vital piece as the Yankees look to keep momentum alive on the West Coast.
