Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Since DJ LeMahieu returned from the injured list Tuesday to make his season debut, Cabrera has unsurprisingly been the odd man out of the New York lineup more often than not. He's made just two starts in the six games since LeMahieu's return and appears set to fill a utility role moving forward after holding down the fort at third base for much of the past two months.

Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Wells had started behind the plate while the Yankees faced right-handed starting pitchers in both of the past two games, but the lefty-hitting catcher will take a seat for the series finale while southpaw Blake Snell toes the rubber for the Giants. Jose Trevino will pick up the start at catcher.

Lux is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rockies.

Lux has gone 3-for-17 over his past six contests and will head to the bench Sunday as southpaw Austin Gomber takes the mound for Colorado. Miguel Rojas will step in at the keystone and bat sixth in the series finale.

Heyward is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Heyward went 1-for-6 with a double and an RBI in the first two games of the series but will take a seat Sunday as lefty Austin Gomber pitches for Colorado. Miguel Vargas will enter the lineup in left field, pushing Teoscar Hernandez to right.

Schanuel (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

It's the third straight absence for Schanuel as he manages soreness in his left thumb. Willie Calhoun will receive another start at first base for the Halos.

Berti (calf) is wearing a walking boot and isn't expected to be able to return from the 10-day injured list for 6-to-8 weeks, MLB.com reports.

Berti was injured while running out of the batter's box during a game May 24 and was subsequently diagnosed with a high-grade left calf strain. He landed on the IL the following day and received a platelet-rich plasma injection May 28. DJ LeMahieu came off the injured list four days after Berti went down and has reclaimed the primary third-base role for the Yankees.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Smith started the previous five games and will receive the day off for Sunday's series finale versus Colorado. Austin Barnes will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Gavin Stone.

Burdi recently received a platelet-rich plasma injection for the hip inflammation that caused him to go on the 15-day injured list May 24,MLB.com reports.

The injury is a "flare-up" of the same issue that forced Burdi on the IL in mid-April. He came back from that stint on the IL and pitched in five games before being shelved again. Burdi has been wild but relatively effective when able to pitch this season, posting a 12:9 K:BB over 9.2 frames while recording a 1.86 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and three holds.

Joyce was recalled from Double-A Rocket City on Sunday.

Joyce was unable to earn place on the Halos' Opening Day roster but will join the MLB club early in June. He has a mediocre 4.26 ERA and 5.2 BB/9 over 19 innings at Rocket City this season, though a 1.16 WHIP and 16.1 K/9 are more encouraging.

Quijada (elbow) didn't throw from May 27 to June 2 but will resume doing so Monday, per MLB.com.

The week off was part of Quijada's rehab plan, so he didn't experience a setback. The lefty reliever is making his way back from undergoing Tommy John surgery last May and isn't likely to return until at least July. He tossed two bullpen sessions before the scheduled break in throwing.
