Cubs’ prized pitcher Edward Cabrera is set to make his return from the injured list this Sunday, stepping into the rotation against the Cardinals and replacing Shota Imanaga — a bold move that expands Chicago’s staff to six starters. With the postseason on the horizon, this strategic depth allows the Cubs to manage workloads and keep arms fresh, while also leveraging their bullpen for crucial innings. Though Cabrera hasn’t fully delivered since arriving, his rehab outings were stellar — nine innings, one hit, 15 strikeouts, and low pitch counts hinting at a cautious, smart reintroduction. Even with limited early innings, his presence is a major boost as the Cubs race to catch Milwaukee in the NL Central. All hands on deck — Chicago’s pitching future just got brighter.
