Edward Cabrera (hamstring) recorded seven strikeouts over five shutout innings in a minor league rehab start for Double-A Knoxville on Tuesday.

No word on Cabrera’s velocity during the 64-pitch outing since this one was in a Double-A ballpark, but the results were certainly impressive. He looked sharp his last time out, tossing four shutout frames for Triple-A Iowa last week. It seems highly likely that he’ll be ready to return to Chicago’s rotation early next week.
