Oswaldo Cabrera gets ALDS Game 1 start at first base for Yankees with Anthony Rizzo off roster
With Anthony Rizzo out for the ALDS with two fractured fingers on his right hand, the Yankees went with Oswaldo Cabrera to start Game 1 against the Royals on Saturday night. It was just Cabrera’s fifth start at the position in the majors and came after the Yankees debated between Cabrera and Ben Rice versus right-hander Michael Wacha.
