Cabrera's Comeback: A Boost for the Cubs' Rotation
Anticipated Return to the Pitcher's Mound
Chicago Cubs' right-handed pitcher, Edward Cabrera, is poised to rejoin the team's starting rotation. This marks his first appearance since a hamstring injury on June 23 forced him off the field.
Manager Confirms Sunday Start
Cubs manager Craig Counsell officially announced on Friday that Cabrera would be activated from the 15-day injured list. He is slated to start Sunday's home game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Rehabilitation Success in Double-A
The 28-year-old Cabrera demonstrated his readiness during a rehabilitation start for Double-A Knoxville against Rocket City on Tuesday. He impressively struck out seven batters and allowed only one walk over five hitless innings.
Season Performance Before Injury
Prior to his injury, which occurred while covering first base against the New York Mets on June 23, Cabrera had compiled a 5-4 record with a 5.10 ERA across 14 starts in his sixth major league season.
Career Overview and Cubs Debut
Cabrera joined the Chicago Cubs in January following a trade from the Miami Marlins. Throughout his career, he holds a 30-33 record with a 4.21 ERA over 103 games, including 101 starts, for both the Marlins (2021-25) and the Cubs.
