Cubs make decision on Edward Cabrera.
The Chicago Cubs could be hit by the injury bug again.
Chicago got Edward Cabrera back just recently from the injured list due to a blister issue. In his third start back from injury, Cabrera left his start with a trainer in the fifth inning, which is a concern.
“Counsell and a Cubs trainer are out to check on Edward Cabrera, and he’s exiting the game in the 5th inning. Wonder if it’s another blister issue,” Cubs reporter Meghan Montemurro wrote on X.
Cabrera leaving the game with an injury is a concern, as the Cubs have been decimated by injuries this season, as ESPN’s Jesse Rogers noted.
“Edward Cabrera, who was on the IL recently with a blister issue, is leaving this game in the top of the 5th inning. He was up 2-0 then started getting hit hard and walking guys. The Cubs have so many mound issues, I’ve lost count,” Rogers wrote on X.
Chicago pulled off a blockbuster trade for Cabrera this offseason as he was set to be an impact starter for the team. However, he’s been hampered by injuries, as he’s 4-3 with a 4.95 ERA in 13 starts this season.
