Cabrera was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Pirates, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. The absence came just prior to first pitch, with the Padres yet to offer any reason for Cabrera's late scratch. The team should provide more clarity on the situation after the game, but it seems likely Cabrera could be dealing with an injury. Alexi Amarista will replace him Sunday at shortstop and in the leadoff spot.
