Cabrera, sidelined since March 10 when he suffered a strained patellar tendon, will return to game action Sunday, SNY.TV reports.
Cabrera has made a faster than expected recovery, progressing from hitting soft toss and off a tee in the cages to live batting practice and then a minor-league game. He has a week until Opening Night to show he is fully healed. The goal over the next week for the Mets' new double-play combination of Cabrera and Neil Walker to get as many reps as they can to build up chemistry before the regular season starts.
