Powers Yanks during win
Caballero went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Cubs.
Analyse
Caballero supplied all of New York's offense, taking Colin Rea deep for a two-run homer in the third inning. The blast snapped an 18-game homer drought dating back to his two-homer performance July 6. The infielder has gotten off to a slow start in the second half, batting 9-for-43 (.209) over 13 games, but has found success on the basepaths with five stolen bases over that span. For the season, Caballero is slashing .241/.292/.384 with 11 home runs, 12 doubles, 40 RBI, 37 runs scored and 27 stolen bases across 96 games.

Swipes two bags in loss
Caballero went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and two stolen bases in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Cubs.
Analyse
Caballero tied the game on an RBI single in the fifth inning and delivered his third multi-steal effort of the season. The 29-year-old has gone just 7-for-40 with three RBI over 12 games since the All-Star break, though he's still managed to swipe five bags during that stretch. On the year, he's slashing .240/.292/.375 with 10 homers, 38 RBI, 36 runs scored and 27 steals across 341 plate appearances.

Exiting starting nine
Caballero is absent from the lineup for Thursday's tilt versus the White Sox.
Analyse
The Yankees will go with Anthony Volpe at shortstop in the series finale. Caballero has just a .574 OPS in July but did contribute a pair of hits and a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the White Sox.

Not in Tuesday's lineup
Caballero is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the White Sox.
Analyse
Caballero is 1-for-18 with nine strikeouts over his last five games, so he'll get a day to regroup. Anthony Volpe is covering shortstop for the Yankees.
