Edward Cabrera Carted Off on Tuesday With Apparent Lower-Body Injury
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (leg/thigh) was carted off the field in the fifth inning of his start against the New York Mets on Tuesday, according to Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune. Per Montemurro, Cabrera "did the splits" to catch a throw while covering first base and immediately grabbed at his left leg/thigh area. Cabrera allowed three hits, two earned runs, and four walks while striking out four across five innings of work before exiting the game. The 28-year-old already missed time earlier this season with a finger injury and may now be headed for a second stint on the injured list. Cabrera's first year with the Cubs has been a struggle even when he's been healthy, as he's pitched to a 5.10 ERA and 1.40 WHIP with 65 strikeouts across 72 1/3 innings (14 starts). If he is forced to miss time, Cubs left-hander Matthew Boyd (knee, shoulder) would likely take Cabrera's spot in the starting rotation.
