Rays slumping shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera (knee) is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune reports.
Cabrera exited the game Tuesday with a left knee strain, but he's considered just day-to-day with the issue. The club will give him a day off Wednesday, however, with Nick Franklin replacing him at shortstop and batting seventh for the Rays.
The veteran had been on a roll, but a 1-for-11 slide and the knee ailment have halted his momentum.
