What was Jose Caballero’s finale statline on Tuesday against the Angels?Jacob from @AndThat’sBB did a good job of painting the picture of Caballero’s performance via X.com:“Jose Caballero is 0/5 with 3 strikeouts, a failed challenge, and TEN RUNNERS LEFT ON BASE!!!!!”Jose Caballero is 0/5 with 3 strikeouts, a failed challenge, and TEN RUNNERS LEFT ON BASE!!!!!— Jacob (@AndThatsBB) September 2, 2026Yikes… that’s not very good.Jose Caballero has emerged as something of an everyday player for the Yankees this season due to his utility capabilities and also the fact that Anthony Volpe struggled upon his return to the bigs.Also, with George Lombard Jr.’s ‘injury’, Caballero has been slotted at SS over the past few games.FanSided.com’s Adam Weinrib wrote (about Caballero): “Pros to Caballero’s performance on Tuesday night? He snagged a 107 MPH line drive from Mike Trout with two on and two out, then turned a double play on a 104 MPH hotshot. Cons? He batted five times, recorded zero hits, wasted a challenge, whiffed thrice, left the bases loaded, and left an additional seven runners on in the process.”More MLB on Heavy: New York Yankees Fans React to Spencer Jones Decision Before Angels GameInside Jose
