 Forbes reports that New York Yankees prospect Caleb Durbin is making a strong case for himself in the team's batting order. The 5'6" infielder, acquired from the Atlanta Braves in December 2022, has excelled in the Arizona Fall League, going 2-for-3 with a walk, stolen base, two RBI, and a fine defensive play in Saturday night's All-Star Game. Durbin has drawn praise from an AL scout for his well-rounded performance, which includes a high success rate on steal attempts (54-for-58). The Yankees may consider promoting him to the major leagues next season, potentially impacting their free-agent plans.
