Edward Cabrera hammered in return to rotation Friday

Edward Cabrera allowed eight runs on eight hits, including three home runs, across 3.1 innings on Friday as the Cubs dropped an 18-3 decision to the Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
Cabrera returned to the Cubs' rotation on Friday after a short stint on the injured list due to a blister and was greeted rudely by the Giants' offense. He allowed a two-run homer to Willy Adames in the first, settled down a bit in the second and third innings, then was charged with six runs while recording just one out in the fourth. He served up two more homers in the fourth - a grand slam by Matt Chapman and a two-run blast by Casey Schmitt. Cabrera, who was acquired in a trade with the Marlins in January, has now allowed three runs or more in nine consecutive starts dating back to April 11. During that stretch, he has pitched to a 6.26 ERA over 46 innings while allowing 11 home runs. Overall, he is 3-3 with a 4.99 ERA across 11 starts this season and it won't get any easier in his next scheduled start as he'll get the Rockies at Coors Field on Thursday.
