Cabrera will remain on the bench Tuesday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
After starting seven straight games, Cabrera will sit in favor of Brandon Guyer for the second straight game. After a three-hit game in the first of those seven, Cabrera went just 3-for-19 over his next six, so it's possible Guyer is the guy going forward.

Cabrera is not in the lineup Monday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Since being recalled from Triple-A Columbus last month, Cabrera has taken over as the Indians' primary right fielder with Lonnie Chisenhall (calf) on the shelf. However, he'll get a breather Monday after starting seven straight games. Brandon Guyer will man right field and hit ninth in his place.

Cabrera will start in right field and bat sixth Wednesday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera has taken over as the Indians' primary option in right field since being summoned from Triple-A Columbus after the All-Star break. He'll collect his fifth straight start Wednesday after going 6-for-15 with a pair of doubles over the prior four games. With Lonnie Chisenhall (calf) facing an extended absence, Cabrera should have a clear path to a full-time role so long as his play warrants it.

Cabrera will be called up by the Indians on Friday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera had been with the Indians earlier in the year, hitting just .207/.242/.293 in 17 games. Since then, he's been designated for assignment, became a free agent and ended up back with the team on a minor-league deal. He'll need to do a lot more this time around if he's to have any fantasy value.

Cabrera inked a minor-league deal with the Indians on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera had been with the Indians' organization prior to being designated for assignment in the middle of June. Following that move, he elected free agency, but wasn't able to find another suitor. Across 17 games in the big leagues, he hit just .207/.242/.293 with 11 RBI in 66 plate appearances. He will provide added depth at the Triple-A level for Columbus.

Cabrera cleared waivers and elected free agency Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera hit just .207/.242/.293 across 17 games with the Indians before being designated for assignment last week. He's only a year removed from a solid 2017 campaign that saw him slash .285/.324/.423 with 85 RBI in 156 games, so he should draw some interest around the league.

Cabrera was designated for assignment by the Indians on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Since being called up from Triple-A Columbus on May 20, Cabrera was only able to hit for a .207 average with a .535 OPS over 17 games with Cleveland. The veteran outfielder will now be subject to the waiver wire and could wind up with a contender looking for a little extra depth, especially since he knocked in 85 RBI and hit .285 through 156 contests last season. In a corresponding move, the Indians reinstated Brandon Guyer (neck) from the 10-day disabled list.

Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and three RBI during Sunday's 9-2 victory over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera drove in two runs on a pair of sacrifice flies and capped off his day by delivering an RBI-double in the eighth to score Lonnie Chisenhall. Though the sample size is small, Cabrera has struggled at the dish through 14 games this season, slashing .213/.226/.319 with 11 RBI, although he showed signs of life during Cleveland's weekend series against Detroit, as he went 3-for-8.

Cabrera is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Cabrera on the bench for the second straight day following Bradley Zimmer's (chest) reinstatement from the 10-day disabled list, it seems evident that the 33-year-old switch hitter is the odd man out of the Tribe's outfield mix. The Indians are set to get Lonnie Chisenhall (calf) and Brandon Guyer (neck) back from the DL during the upcoming week, so Cabrera's path to at-bats will only become more difficult if he even remains on the active roster.

Cabrera is not listed in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera had made 12 consecutive starts for the Indians, but he'll get a breather Saturday in favor of Bradley Zimmer in center field and Greg Allen in right field. With Lonnie Chisenhall's (calf) return not too far off either, it wouldn't be surprising to see Cabrera's workload decrease moving forward.
