Cabrera (thumb) is scheduled to begin a rehab-assignment with Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Cabrera was able to take swings in a batting cage without any issue Monday, clearing the way for him to head out on a rehab assignment. If all goes well, he could rejoin the Mets for the weekend series against the Pirates, when he's first eligible to be activated.
