Cubs Pitcher Edward Cabrera Carted Off the Field with a Left Leg Injury
Cabrera was carted off after stretching into the splits to record the final out, and the Cubs said he has a left hamstring/adductor strain.
- On Tuesday, Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Edward Cabrera was carted off the field at Citi Field after suffering a left hamstring/adductor strain while stretching into a split to catch a throw from second baseman Nico Hoerner for the final out of the fifth inning.
- The injury compounds the Cubs' rotation woes, as three Opening Day starters are already on the injured list: Matthew Boyd, Cade Horton, and Jameson Taillon, with Cabrera acquired in the offseason to stabilize the staff after posting a strong 2025 season with Miami.
- Cabrera had already taken a comebacker to the leg in the opening innings before the more serious injury occurred when Jared Young hit a ground ball fielded by Nico Hoerner on the right field grass, forcing Cabrera to stretch into a split at first base.
- Despite losing Cabrera to injury, the Cubs defeated the Mets 9-6 on Tuesday, powered by Pete Crow-Armstrong's three-run homer and Dansby Swanson driving in four runs during a five-run second inning against Kodai Senga.
- Before exiting, Cabrera threw 99 pitches and allowed two runs over five innings, leaving in line for a win as the Cubs now face scheduling pressure from a Monday rainout forcing a doubleheader Wednesday with potential roster decisions for Milwaukee games this weekend.
