Génesis Cabrera won't just make his major league debut when he starts Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies. He also will become the 2,000th player to appear in a game for the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cardinals have recalled the rookie left-hander from Triple-A Memphis. In a corresponding move, they optioned outfielder Lane Thomas to the Redbirds.
Cabrera, who was obtained from Tampa Bay last July in the Tommy Pham trade, went 2-3 with a 6.35 ERA in nine games (seven starts) for Memphis this season.
Cabrera will become the first Cardinal to make his big-league debut as a starting pitcher since Daniel Ponce de Leon on July 23 of last season.
