Summary
Edward Cabrera’s first season with the Cubs has been derailed by injuries—three stints on the IL, including a finger blister and hamstring strain—limiting him to just 15 starts and a mediocre 5-5 record with a high ERA. Now back from injury, the team is making a bold move: shifting him from starter to bullpen. Manager cites past success stories of players thriving in relief roles, especially in the playoffs. With the Cubs’ bullpen struggling lately, this could be the perfect fit to harness Cabrera’s talent in shorter bursts while managing his workload. It’s a risky gamble—but if he clicks, it could be the key to securing a playoff spot. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
