It's been quite a week for New York Yankees rookie infielder Oswaldo Cabrera.
After receiving the call-up to the majors this week, Cabrera made his major debut on Wednesday. The Yankees' top prospect registered his first big-league hit the following day, finishing 2-for-4 with a double.
Cabrera started at shortstop and third base in his first two games but manned right field Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays. And it didn't take long for the 23-year-old to see some action.
On the very first pitch of the game, Cabrera robbed Toronto's Lourdes Gurriel Jr. of a home run, sending the Yankee Stadium faithful into a frenzy.

Signed as an amateur free agent by the Yankees in 2015, Cabrera eventually became the team's top prospect.
Cabrera spent time at every minor league level but Double-A this season. He compiled nine home runs, 32 RBI and 22 walks in 52 games while slashing .269/.348/.503.
