Edward Cabrera Going Back on Injured List With Hamstring Strain
Chicago Cubs right-handed starter Edward Cabrera (hamstring) will head back to the 15-day injured list with a strained left hamstring that he suffered in Tuesday's contest against the New York Mets, manager Craig Counsell told Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports. Cabrera will undergo an MRI exam on Wednesday to determine the severity of the hamstring injury. "We're in a rough spot," Counsell said. In the Cubs' 9-6 win on Tuesday, Cabrera allowed two earned runs on three hits while walking four and striking out four in five innings to actually pick up the win despite straining his hamstring in the fifth inning while trying to stretch to make a catch at first base. It's another frustrating injury for the 28-year-old Dominican hurler, who has been extremely volatile for fantasy managers in 2026 in his first year in Chicago. E-Cab entered his start on Tuesday with a 4-4 record, 5.21 ERA, and 1.39 WHIP with 61 K's and 25 walks in 67 1/3 innings in his 13 starts. We'll have a better idea of how long Cabrera will be out after his MRI exam, but either way, he could be looking at missing the rest of the first half of the season. Cabrera is rostered in just over half of Yahoo leagues.
