The Padres are hopeful that Everth Cabrera (hamstring) can be activated from the disabled list on July 2, the first day he's eligible. Cabrera has been taking batting practice with no issues and this weekend is expected to start running the bases and fielding. The Padres haven't decided whether he'll need a rehab assignment before returning. "He's doing much better," manager Bud Black said. "He's going to travel with us out east and get on the field, doing running, fielding. We'll see what happens Friday and Saturday and go from there."
