by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/14/13) Blue Jays designated hitter Melky Cabrera led off and recorded four hits on Tuesday in a 10-6 win over the Giants, his former team. Cabrera doubled, drove in two runs and scored twice.
Cabrera, who reached base and scored in the first inning, drove in a run with a single to left later in the same first frame. He added his second RBI of the game with a deep double to right field in the seventh.
He finished 4 for 5 to raise his average to .278. Cabrera has hit in three straight and has gone 6 for 13 over that stretch with two doubles and four RBI. He has five doubles in his last 10 games with eight RBI over that span.

| MRI on horizon for sore Melky Cabrera |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com
(5/14/13) Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera remained in the starting lineup as the designed hitter for Tuesday's series opener against the Giants -- his former team -- despite lingering soreness in both of his legs, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Cabrera, who has not missed any playing time this season because of the soreness, is scheduled to have an MRI on Wednesday to determine if he is suffering from a more significant issue.

| Melky Cabrera playing with sore hamstrings |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(5/12/13) Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera hasn't missed a game this season, but he said Sunday he's battling through issues to both hamstrings.
"My legs are a little sore," Cabrera said through interpreter Luis Rivera, per MLB.com. "My hamstrings are a little tight, but I'm going to give it whatever I have that day. I want to be in the lineup every day, no matter what. That's why I continue to play."
Cabrera, who has received some starts at DH lately, is starting to turn the corner offensively. He's batting .311 (14 for 45) in May after batting .241 in April.
"I'm feeling better," he said. "I'm showing up early every day to get my work done in the cage, and I'm going to go out and continue to play hard. Nothing has changed. Nothing I'm doing different. I'm just continuing to work, and it's paying off now that I'm putting more work into it."

| Melky Cabrera coming around |
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer
(5/8/13) When the Blue Jays' Melky Cabrera had just three extra-base hits in his first 31 games, the easy assumption was that his previous two seasons were a product of PED use and that his days as a relevant Fantasy contributor were over. But such a definitive answer so early in the season seemed a little too convenient, didn't it? Even in his Yankees days, Cabrera hit a high number of doubles relative to his at-bats.
And he hit a high number of doubles in spring training as well, which is part of the reason I felt like his slow start might simply be a slow start. He's not out of the woods yet, but over his last three games, he has doubled his number of extra-base hits on the season, even connecting for his first home run Sunday.
I understand it's just three games, but it's still encouraging. If you've made the investment in Cabrera, you might as well stick around for the final verdict.

| For the second year in a row, Melky Cabrera enters the season with plenty of skeptics, but this time it's for entirely different reasons. A year ago, Fantasy owners were trying to figure out if the 2011 version -- the one who broke out for a .305 average, 18 home runs, 87 RBI, 102 runs and 20 stolen bases for the Royals -- was legitimate. Just as Cabrera seemed to answer his doubters by being even more productive after an offseason trade to the Giants, he was hit with a 50-game suspension for testing positive for testosterone. Now with the Blue Jays, Cabrera will try to reestablish his value. Though he is more of a ground ball hitter, Cabrera could be a 20-homer threat now that he is moving to his best hitter's park since being a Yankee. However, Cabrera has raised his value over the last two years more with speed than power, as he has increased his stolen bases and hit over .300 on grounders in both 2011 and 2012. Doubts about Cabrera's future performance raised by his PED suspension could cause many owners to pass on him as a top 20 outfielder, so there is probably no reason to reach for him in drafts. He could be a huge bargain, though, if he can maintain the level of performance he has established in his two most recent seasons. (Updated 12/7/12) |
