Rangers' castoff Cabrera back for another playoff push with Nationals

Asdrúbal Cabrera was stunned when he was let go by the Texas Rangers Aug. 3.

“I never thought that would happen to me,” the veteran infielder said.

But the former National landed on his feet, signing up for another stint in Washington, his second in in six years — with the first go-round coming in 2014, when Cabrera played in 49 games and appeared in the playoffs against the San Francisco Giants.

He’s ready for another playoff push.

“I feel good to be back in Washington and try to help the team win,” he told The Washington Times.
