Cabrera joined the Reds' active roster Saturday.

11h agoRotowire

Cabrera seemed destined to join the Reds' Triple-A affiliate when he was claimed off waivers from the Yankees on Friday, but Cincinnati will instead add him to its active roster to provide depth in both the infield and outfield. TJ Friedl was sent down to Louisville in a corresponding move.

The Reds claimed Cabrera off waivers from the Yankees on Friday.

Cabrera has a career .232/.292/.343 slash line over parts of five major-league seasons, but he can play all over the diamond and is under team control through 2028. The 27-year-old appears ticketed for Triple-A Louisville for the time being.

The Yankees designated Cabrera for assignment Wednesday.

A spot on the 40-man roster was needed for the return of Clarke Schmidt (elbow) from the 60-day injured list. Cabrera is 0-for-9 at the plate for the Yankees this season and has slashed .288/.345/.444 with 19 home runs and 12 stolen bases at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He's a career .232/.292/.343 hitter over parts of five major-league seasons, but Cabrera is a defensively versatile switch hitter who is under team control through 2028, so it's likely he'll draw interest on waivers.

The Yankees optioned Cabrera to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

With Ryan McMahon (illness) back from the injured list, Cabrera will return to Triple-A after going hitless in 11 trips to the plate with four strikeouts for the big club.

The Yankees recalled Cabrera from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Jun 24Rotowire

He's taking the roster spot vacated by Ryan McMahon, who was moved to the injured list due to a throat infection. Cabrera missed all of the 2025 season while recovering from ankle surgery and had spent all of 2026 at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to this point, slashing.271/.330/.397 with seven home runs and six steals in 68 games. Cabrera could see some action at third base while McMahon is shelved.
