Yankees Recall Oswaldo Cabrera as Ryan McMahon Lands on Injured List

A returning utility infielder who has hit .397 in Triple-A this month will fill the short-term roster spot created by McMahon's ear and throat infection.

Overview

  • The Yankees placed Ryan McMahon on the injured list with an ear and throat infection and recalled Oswaldo Cabrera to take his roster spot.
  • Cabrera has been red-hot in June at Triple-A, hitting .397 with a .967 OPS in 73 at-bats and showing power across 262 Triple-A plate appearances this season.
  • This is Cabrera's first major-league promotion in more than a year after he fractured his ankle sliding into home on May 12, 2025 and missed extended time.
  • Manager Aaron Boone plans to mix Cabrera and José Cabellero at third base while McMahon recovers, giving the team an internal depth option rather than an immediate external move.
  • With Aaron Judge already sidelined earlier this month, the call-up underscores how the Yankees are relying on in-house depth to cover short-term injuries and shape their approach ahead of the trade deadline.
