Cards add LHP Cabrera as 26th man for Saturday's doubleheader

The Cardinals have added lefthander Genesis Cabrera from Memphis as their 26th man for Saturday’s day-night doubleheader. For Sunday’s similar doubleheader, they will have several other players because rosters can be expanded on Sept. 1.

Joining the club on Sunday will be outfielder Jose Martinez (sprained right shoulder), who will have finished a rehabilitation option at Class AA Springfield. Also, pitchers Junior Fernandez and Mike Mayers and catcher Andrew Knizner will be here. Daniel Ponce de Leon already was on hand, but not activated yet, to start Sunday night’s second game of the doubleheader.

On Tuesday, three more players _ shortstop Edmundo Sosa, first baseman Rangel Ravelo and outfielder Randy Arozarena will be recalled on Tuesday, the day after Memphis’ season ends.
