Injury Report
Elbow - 15-day DL. Out until at least late May (Updated - 5/4/08)
Fantasy Analysis
The right-hander will have to go through a minor league rehab stint once he's deemed healthy enough to pitch, and Baltimore manager Dave Trembley said it may take another week before he reaches that point. Cabrera was once a potential closer candidate in Cleveland. He has an intriguing arm long-term, albeit with some wildness. This arm injury makes him not worth considering in Fantasy right now, though. (Updated 04/23/2008).
