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.

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.

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 at Rocket City this season but has been much better since early May, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB over his last 10 appearances covering 11.1 innings.

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.

Mateo was removed from Sunday's game against the Rays with an apparent head injury, Melanie Newman of MASN reports.

The 28-year-old appeared to be struck in the head by a bat around the on-deck circle during the fourth inning and was replaced by a pinch hitter shortly thereafter. He singled in his lone plate appearance before exiting the contest. The specifics of the injury are unclear, but Mateo is likely being evaluated for a concussion.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Cole (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Double-A Somerset, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The 33-year-old has thrown multiple sessions of live batting practice over the past couple weeks and has now been cleared to pitch in minor-league games. Cole will require multiple outings in the minors before being ready to join the Yankees, but he's on track to make his season debut during the second half of June.

Vaughn (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Vaughn will be on the bench for a third game in a row with a sprained left ring finger. The White Sox continue to view Vaughn as day-to-day, and with a team off day Monday, Vaughn could be ready to go for the start of the team's two-game series with the Cubs on Tuesday. Gavin Sheets will fill in at first base for Vaughn on Sunday.
