Cabrera (ankle) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, manning third base and batting third against lefty Jose Quintana.
Cabrera was hit by a pitch during Sunday's game, but X-rays were negative and he won't even end up missing a start as a result of the injury. While the 31-year-old has just four homers since the All-Star break, two of those have come in September, and he's batting .343/.384/.429 against left-handed pitching this season.
