For the second time in four games, Harrison Bader was out of the Yankees’ lineup on Monday night.
The center fielder, set to become a free agent this offseason, has been terrific defensively but arrived at Comerica Park in the midst of a brutal slump at the plate — 5-for-45 with a .300 OPS over his last 14 games.
The switch-hitting Cabrera, who was spelling Oswald Peraza at third base, started a second consecutive game for the first time in more than two weeks. “Just want to get him playing time, too,” Boone said. “Obviously we don’t have a lot of lefties right now, so he’s the one lefty in there tonight for us. But a chance to get him two in a row and try to build some continuity that way. Give Oswald his first day [off] since he’s been up here. Just trying to keep guys engaged, keep guys playing, especially some guys that need to.”
It will give them a chance to salute future Hall of Famer Miguel Cabrera, who is set to retire after this season.
