Cubs Starting Pitcher

RHP Edward Cabrera: 0-0, 0.00

Acquired in a trade from the Miami Marlins for three prospects, including outfielder Owen Caissie, Cabrera was sharp in his first spring training start last week. He worked two innings, threw 31 pitches and struck out three hitters without allowing a hit, a run or a walk. It's the kind of efficiency that the Cubs hope to get from the fourth-year pro all season.
