Edward Cabrera Scheduled to Return to Cubs Rotation on Saturday
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (finger) will return from the 15-day injured list on Saturday against the San Francisco Giants, per Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network. Cabrera was placed on the IL due to a blister on his right middle finger on May 21. Across 54 innings (10 starts) before the injury, Cabrera posted a 3-2 record with a 4.00 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts. The 28-year-old's average fastball velocity was down from 97 miles per hour to 95.9 mph, and his strikeout rate had dipped to a career-worst 20.7%. If Cabrera's blister issue is fully resolved, it could help him rediscover his 2025 form, when he logged a 3.53 ERA and a 25.8% strikeout rate across 26 starts with the Miami Marlins.
