Jose Caballero Plays Catch, Could Spend Minimum Time on IL
New York Yankees infielder Jose Caballero (finger) played catch on Monday, manager Aaron Boone told Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. Caballero has already been fielding in the last few days, but he's not throwing yet. Boone added that Caballero still has a chance to spend the minimum 10 days on the injured list, but the Yankees will see how the next few days go. The speedy 29-year-old fractured his right middle finger on May 10, but he is making good progress and could return from the IL when he's eligible on Thursday. The Yankees have already said that Caballero will reclaim starting duties at shortstop in the Bronx from Anthony Volpe when he returns to the Bronx. The native of Panama was playing a solid shortstop for the Yanks before his injury while slashing .259/.320/.400 with a .720 OPS, four home runs, 13 RBI, 13 stolen bases, and 18 runs scored in 135 at-bats. Caballero is mostly useful in fantasy leagues for his speed and positional versatility, as he's eligible at second, third, shortstop, and outfield in Yahoo leagues.
