Cubs To Place Edward Cabrera On Injured List
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Cubs have placed starting pitcher Edward Cabrera on the 15-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain sustained during a game against the Mets.
- Cabrera was injured while covering first base and was carted off the field after grabbing his hamstring/groin area; he will undergo imaging to assess the injury.
- This marks Cabrera’s second stint on the injured list this season, previously missing time with a blister, and the severity of the current injury remains uncertain pending MRI results.
- Cabrera has a history of injuries, mostly arm-related, which influenced the Marlins' decision to trade him to the Cubs last offseason despite his potential as an upper mid-rotation starter.
- The Cubs acquired Cabrera in January by trading Owen Caissie and two other prospects, banking on his upside despite his injury history.
