Fantasy Analysis
Cabrera was recalled from Triple-A Tucson on Thursday with this off-field issue hovering over his head. The Padres have a scheduled off day on June 11 so it appears the 25-year-old will not miss any playing time. Cabrera has served as the team's starting shortstop since Jason Bartlett was placed on the disabled list and could keep the job once Bartlett returns. Consider him a worthwhile addition in NL-only Fantasy formats. (Updated 05/18/2012).
