The New York Yankees secured a 9-5 victory on Monday night in the series opener against the Chicago White Sox.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone decided to start both Anthony Volpe and Jose Caballero over the last two games, but New York made a notable lineup change ahead of Tuesday night’s matchup.

Caballero’s 2026 Season
Caballero has been a major piece of the Yankees’ success this season, serving as a versatile, plug-and-play option for Boone whenever the team has needed him.
He’s slashing .236/.372/.660 with 71 hits, 36 runs, 10 home runs, and 37 RBIs, while also adding 23 stolen bases.
Yankees Right Now
The Yankees are 60-46 this season and currently sit in second place behind the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East, trailing them by 2.5 games for first place.
New York is dealing with a number of injuries across the roster, most notably Aaron Judge, who has missed over a month with a rib injury.
They’re expected to be one of the more active teams ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline as they look to address several needs, including bullpen help, another catcher, and a right-handed hitter.
