Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera could miss the team's entire three-game series against the Giants, MLB.com reports. He will be re-evaluated after a few days of rest to determine whether a trip to the disabled list is warranted.
"We're going to keep an eye on him for a few days," manager Bud Black said Monday. "We didn't want to be too quick to pull the trigger on the disabled list just yet."
Cabrera suffered the injury during a stolen base attempt Sunday and received treatment for the hamstring Monday.
"It's better to miss two or three games here and come back as quick as I can," Cabrera told MLB.com. "... I feel all right. I feel I can play but don't want to play at 50 percent. They said we will give it a couple of days and see how I feel."
Recent acquisition Pedro Ciriaco drew the start at shortstop in Monday's series opener against the Giants.
