First Pitch: Genesis Cabrera recalled from AAA as Packy Naughton goes to IL

First pitch is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. at American Family Field.

Left-handed pitcher Genesis Cabrera has been recalled from AAA Memphis to replace Packy Naughton, who was placed on the 15-day IL today. Naughton experienced a left forearm strain in his appearance for the Cardinals Friday and was removed from the game in the eighth inning after motioning to the dugout to seek assistance from the training staff.

Cabrera was being used as a closer for AAA Memphis and has had three appearances thus far for the Redbirds. The lefty has tallied a save over three and a third innings and allowed just one hit and two walks.
