Prior to their game against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night, the Yankees placed Ryan McMahon on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 22) with throat infection.
In a corresponding move, the team recalled utility man Oswaldo Cabrera from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Wednesday's game will be Cabrera's first in the major leagues since he suffered a season-ending left ankle fracture on May 12, 2025.
Working his way back to the bigs, Cabrera was optioned to Triple-A at the end of spring training and has played 68 games with the RailRiders this season, hitting .271 with seven home runs, 10 doubles, and 35 RBI. Although, the switch-hitter has been on fire as of late -- hitting .331 with an .858 OPS over his last 45 games in the minors.
He will likely take over McMahon's spot at third base for the time being, having played a majority of his minor league games at the position (30). If manager Aaron Boone opts to use him in a different spot, it shouldn't be much of a problem as Cabrera has also seen action at first base, second base, shortstop (13 games), left field, and right field this season.
McMahon last played on June 21 and had been struggling at the plate, hitting just .176 with a home run and two RBI over his last seven games. Overall, he's hitting .210 with eight home runs, four doubles, and 23 RBI over 69 games.
