Melky Cabrera
16 August 2008
Sexson for assignment yesterday, in a roster shakeup that included demoting starting center fielder Melky Cabrera. Sexson had hit .250 in 28 at-bats, with a grand slam and six RBis. Ever the all-or-nothing guy, Sexson had one or two big hits, and a whole lot of hits and weak groundouts. Yankees GM Brian Cashman was gracious about Sexson, saying he was an everyday player, not a bunch guy, and that was the problem.

Brett Gardner, the recent callup who replaced Damon, grounded out to second, but brought Melky Cabrera to third. After Jeter walked to load the bases, Bobby Abreu popped out to first, and A-Rod grounded out to second to end the inning.
