Activated from IL, starting at SS
The Yankees activated Caballero (finger) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Análisis
Caballero missed just 11 days with a fractured right middle finger, and he's back in the lineup at shortstop, hitting seventh, against the Rays on Friday. Anthony Volpe will head to the bench for the Yankees. Caballero has slashed .259/.320/.400 with four home runs, 13 RBI, 18 runs scored, 13 stolen bases and an 8:29 BB:K across 147 plate appearances this season.

Expected to be activated Friday
Caballero (finger) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Análisis
Caballero is on track to return to action just one day after what would've been a minimum-length stay on the injured list with a right middle finger fracture. The 29-year-old didn't require a minor-league rehab assignment, and he'll likely slot in as New York's everyday shortstop once again moving forward, making Anthony Volpe's role uncertain in the near future. Outfielder Spencer Jones and relief pitcher Yovanny Cruz were optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Blue Jays, making room for Caballero and starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (elbow) to be reinstated from the injured list Friday.

Plays catch Monday
Caballero (finger) played catch Monday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Análisis
Caballero has also done some fielding drills in recent days, but Monday marked the first time that he has thrown since fracturing his right middle finger May 10. Yankees manager Aaron Boone reiterated Monday that Caballero still has a chance to be activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday when first eligible, but a decision will depend on how Caballero fares in workouts over the next couple of days. Caballero is expected to reclaim the team's starting shortstop job when he returns, which will likely push Anthony Volpe back to the minors.
