2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cabrera got the Opening Day start at third base for the Yankees and cracked seven hits -- including two homers -- in the team's season-opening series in Houston. It was mostly downhill from there and he quickly faded into a utility role. He made just 18 starts in the second half of the regular season, which doesn't exactly bode well for 2025. Cabrera makes consistent contact and hit a career-high eight homers last season, and his defensive versatility is valuable, more so in real life. In another organization, Cabrera might be given more chances, but it's tough to see him breaking out of a part-time role in New York. The bar is simply too high, and Cabrera, who will turn 26 during spring training, hasn't shown that he can clear that bar. Read Past Outlooks
Unlikely to return this season
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that it's "probably unlikely" Cabrera (ankle) returns this season, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Doctors found ligament damage around Cabrera's fractured left ankle, so his surgery was a little more invasive than hoped. While there is no official timetable for the utility player's return, Boone seems pessimistic about the possibility of a 2025 recovery. Oswald Peraza and Jorbit Vivas have handled third base for the Yankees since Cabrera was injured, but DJ LeMahieu could become the regular there once Jazz Chisholm (oblique) returns to play second base.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Cabrera got the start in left field for the Yankees on Opening Day, but he was optioned down after slashing .195/.246/.292 through the end of May. He bounced between levels over the subsequent months before ultimately finding his way back into regular starts over the finals couple weeks. While he enjoyed a productive two-week stretch in September, the overall numbers were downright ugly apart from his perfect success rate in steal attempts (8-for-8). He makes contact often enough, but the quality of that contact is lacking at this stage. Entering his age-25 season, Cabrera will face stiff competition for a spot on the Yankees' active roster. He could very well end up back in the minors to begin 2024 given that he has two options remaining, though his ability to play all around the diamond should help in his bid for utility role.
