2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Mariners acquired Caballero from the Diamondbacks for Mike Leake in the summer of 2019, and he wasn't considered a top prospect coming into the 2023 season. He earned an early shot with Seattle, and while there were just as many ups as there were downs, he was able to remain a key cog on the bench for the majority of the year. He was much more effective against southpaws than he was right-handed pitching; finishing with an OPS of .758 against left-handed pitching compared to a .588 mark against righties. He showed virtually no power against hurlers from either side, however, and his on-base percentage was strongly boosted by being hit 17 times in 280 plate appearances. Even if Caballero is able to cement a spot in the Seattle lineup next summer, it's hard to imagine him helping fantasy rosters outside of the steals category in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Sitting Saturday
Caballero is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Caballero will take a seat on the bench Saturday after going 0-for-6 across his last two contests. His absence will put Brandon Lowe at second base and open a spot in the lineup for Yandy Diaz to serve as the designated hitter.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Taking more aggressive approach
Caballero has a 56.1 percent swing rate through 13 games this season, which is an increase of nearly 14 percent compared to 2023.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old earned the starting job at shortstop to begin the season and is hitting well early with a .311/.333/.444 slash line in 49 plate appearances. Caballero has yet to take a walk after he posted a 10.8 percent walk rate as a rookie last season, and that aggressive approach has yielded strong results thus far. He's provided fantasy managers plenty of value with five steals to go along with a homer, six RBI and seven runs. The early season results seem fairly sustainable with a .305 xBA and .455 xSLG, though taking some walks could provide a safety net for when he eventually hits a slump.
