Not in lineup Friday
Caballero is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.
Analysis
Even with Aaron Judge (ribs) remaining sidelined and placed on the injured list Friday, Caballero will come off the bench for Friday's series opener. Anthony Volpe is starting at shortstop and batting seventh, while Spencer Jones was recalled from Triple-A and will play right field and hit sixth against right-hander Sonny Gray. Caballero has just a .669 OPS across 37 trips to the plate since returning from the injured list May 22.

Analysis
Caballero went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's series opener, but he'll get a breather for Saturday night's contest. Anthony Volpe will start at shortstop and bat ninth.
