Chicago Cubs pitcher Edward Cabrera is nearing a return to the Major Leagues following a successful rehabilitation process. After recovering from a hamstring strain and addressing mechanical issues related to his arm slot, Cabrera delivered a dominant no-hit performance in five innings during a Triple-A assignment.

To accommodate Cabrera’s return to the rotation, the Cubs are making roster adjustments. The team plans to activate him for a series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals. This move involves shifting veteran pitcher David Peterson to the bullpen and moving Javier Assad to Triple-A.
