Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera removed any lingering doubt about his back by returning to the starting lineup for Saturday's spring finale against Cincinnati. Cabrera has not appeared in a Cactus League game since March 22 in order to rest after suffering back spasms while taking swings in a batting cage.
"Yeah, he's fine," manager Terry Francona told MLB.com. "I don't think there was ever a concern about him getting ready to play. It was just getting him enough at-bats where he could shake some rust off."
