Jose Caballero Reinstated and Starting on Friday
The New York Yankees officially announced that they reinstated infielder/outfielder Jose Caballero (finger) from the 10-day injured list on Friday. Caballero is starting at shortstop and will hit seventh in his return on Friday versus the visiting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Nick Martinez at Yankee Stadium in the series opener. With Caballero back after missing only 11 days due to a right middle-finger fracture, he'll take back over at the 6 and will send Anthony Volpe to the bench. Fantasy managers who need speed and versatility for their fantasy lineups should consider adding Caballero off the waiver wire if he is available. The 29-year-old native of Panama will return to a .259/.320/.400 slash line with a .720 OPS, four home runs, 13 RBI, 13 stolen bases, and 18 runs scored on the year. Caballero offers elite speed and is also eligible at second, third, shortstop, and the outfield. He's rostered in 72% of Yahoo leagues. He has gone hitless in just four career at-bats against Martinez.
