Oswaldo Cabrera steps up for Yankees

In a disappointing 4-0 defeat against the Detroit Tigers, the New York Yankees struggled offensively, managing only four hits throughout the game. Notably, utility player Oswald Cabrera stood out, contributing two of those hits and showcasing solid defensive skills at third base. Cabrera has been a consistent performer, extending his hitting streak to six games and boasting a .304 batting average over his last 30 games, prompting praise from manager Aaron Boone for his versatility and teamwork. Making his debut for the Yankees, left-handed reliever Tim Mayza delivered a scoreless sixth inning, despite a rocky start that included a leadoff triple by Spencer Torkelson. Mayza quickly rebounded, executing a crucial tag at home plate and striking out Javier Baez with a notable increase in pitch velocity, which impressed Boone. The manager expressed optimism about Mayza's performance, indicating a strong finish to the inning. In roster news, the Chicago White Sox claimed reliever Enyel De Los Santos off waivers after the Yankees designated him for assignment. De Los Santos had a rough outing against the White Sox earlier in the week, which contributed to his departure from the team. Injury updates revealed that Jazz Chisholm is progressing with running drills but has yet to resume batting, while Jon Berti is participating in full baseball activities. Clarke Schmidt is also on track to begin a rehab assignment following a live throwing session scheduled for Sunday.
