Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera got the start at third base, his fourth in the last five games, and has gone 5-for-10 with a pair of doubles and two RBI during that stretch. The versatile veteran may not be an everyday player given his age, but Cabrera is a useful piece for manager Torey Lovullo, who must navigate injuries to outfielders Ketel Marte (hamstring) and Kole Calhoun (hamstring). Infielder Josh Rojas has been deployed in the outfield to help cover those losses, which leads to opportunities for Cabrera. His biggest obstacle to playing time is the state of the franchise, which owns the worst record in MLB. That could lead to younger players, like Josh VanMeter or Andrew Young, getting more infield starts ahead of the veteran.

Cabrera will start at third base and bat fifth Wednesday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera will pick up his fourth start in five games at third base, and he could end up being the main beneficiary of Ketel Marte's (hamstring) recent move to the injured list. Marte's absence could open up room for Josh Rojas to pick up more starts in the outfield, thereby allowing Eduardo Escobar to get more starts at second base while Cabrera mans the hot corner. At the very least, the switch-hitting Cabrera should be a fixture in the lineup versus southpaws, given the bevy of lefty bats on the Arizona roster.

Cabrera went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 13-7 loss to San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

The homer was Cabrera's fifth of the season and just his third hit in 24 at-bats since coming off the injured list June 4. The 35-year-old's playing time continues to be managed, as he has not started three consecutive days all season.

Cabrera started at first base and went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

This was Cabrera's first start in the field since he returned from the injured list June 4. He served as a pinch hitter for his first four appearances then as designated hitter Thursday. The veteran infielder is hitless in 11 at-bats with a sacrifice fly since his return.

Cabrera flew out as a pinch hitter in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera was activated from the injured list Friday and has entered the last three games as a pinch hitter, going 0-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly during that span. The Diamondbacks are off Monday, so there's a chance that the veteran infielder could return to the starting lineup Tuesday or Wednesday in Oakland.

Cabrera entered as a pinch hitter Saturday for the second straight game, striking out for starter Merrill Kelly in a 7-5 loss to Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera, who was activated from the injured list Friday, has appeared as a pinch hitter in each of the two games since. Per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, Cabrera is running at about 80 percent, but the infielder was anxious to get back. He had been playing four to five games per week prior to the injury, but Cabrera could be restricted in the short term.

Cabrera entered as a pinch hitter and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera was activated from the injured list Friday, beating the worst-case prognosis by a week. The most-recent report indicated the infielder was running at 70 to 80 percent, but manager Torey Lovullo told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic that Cabrera is "ready for this." The obvious question is how much playing time the 35-year-old will get on a team that owns the worst record in baseball. He was playing steadily before the injury, although never more than two consecutive days, but that was before Arizona lost 20 of 23 contests.

Cabrera (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera was expected to face a four-week absence when he landed on the injured list in mid-May, but he beat that timeline for his return. He hit quite well before suffering a hamstring injury, posting a .289/.393/.474 slash line. Cabrera isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers, but he should feature regularly moving forward. Seth Frankoff (forearm) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Cabrera (hamstring) has been running at 70-80 percent recently, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera has continued to take live at-bats recently, but he's also been able to increase his running intensity after he was only able to jog slowly out of the batter's box at the end of May. Manager Torey Lovullo called the 35-year-old's progress a "miracle" since his injury was initially believed to be quite serious. However, Cabrera still doesn't have a clear timetable to return.

Cabrera (hamstring) has been taking at-bats since last week while jogging slowly out of the batter's box at Arizona's extended spring training site, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera, who had considered surgery for the right hamstring strain, should be able to test the injury at a near full-run pace this week. Manager Torey Lovullo is enthused by the pace of Cabrera's recovery. "He continues to push very hard to get as live of at-bats as he possibly can," Lovullo said. "He wants to return as quickly as he possibly can." The goal for the last-place Diamondbacks should be to get the 35-year-old utility infielder back, establish his health, then flip him for a prospect before the trade deadline.
