Cabrera will be held out of Sunday's starting lineup due to knee soreness, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.
According to manager Terry Collins, Cabrera's knee "has been barking a little bit," so the team will sit him out as a precaution. What that phrase means exactly from a medical perspective remains to be seen, but the Mets will take a conservative approach here, which likely means Matt Reynolds will get the start at shortstop Sunday afternoon.
