Starting in seven-inning doubleheader game Cabrera is scheduled to start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Mets, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Impact Elieser Hernandez will get the "start" for the first game of the twin bill, which is the resumption of a game that was suspended with one out in the top of the first inning back on April 11. Since the nightcap will be a seven-inning game, Cabrera's odds of factoring into any decision should increase, since he'll likely be pitching for a larger percentage of the game than if it were a normal nine-inning contest. The 23-year-old right-hander acquitted himself well in his big-league debut Aug. 26 against the Nationals, striking out two over 6.1 frames while giving up three runs on four hits and three walks.
