Yankees DFA Cabrera to clear spot for Schmidt’s return
TL;DR
The Yankees designated Oswaldo Cabrera for assignment to open a roster spot for Clarke Schmidt, who has been reinstated from the 60-day IL; Cabrera, a versatile 27-year-old with solid minor-league numbers and a modest MLB track record, is likely to clear waivers given his $1.2M salary and remaining option year, while Schmidt returns as a reliever after Tommy John surgery.
