Cabrera Returns to Bullpen | Chicago Cubs News

Cabrera’s recent rehab outings showed promise, including a fastball clocking over 100 mph, despite a rough season plagued by injuries and a higher ERA. Manager Craig Counsell plans to ease him into a low-pressure relief role first, testing his readiness for critical innings. His performance could determine if he becomes a reliable late-game weapon — and he’s got the talent to make it happen.
