Oswaldo Cabrera claimed by Reds after surprise Yankees release
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Oswaldo Cabrera has been claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Reds, ending his tenure with the New York Yankees after being designated for assignment to clear roster space for Clarke Schmidt.
- Cabrera, 27, was a versatile utility player for the Yankees, appearing in 305 games since 2022 and playing multiple positions, but injuries impacted his career trajectory.
- Despite batting .288 with a .790 OPS in Triple-A this season, Cabrera's Yankees career was hampered by a severe ankle injury sustained last year, which sidelined him for the remainder of the 2023 season.
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone had hoped Cabrera might remain with the team if unclaimed, but the Reds took advantage of his remaining minor league option and potential value.
- Known for his positive personality and energy, Cabrera was the second-longest tenured player in the Yankees organization behind Aaron Judge before his departure.
