Mandatory Credit: David Banks-Imagn Images The Chicago Cubs placed right-hander Edward Cabrera on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand.
The move is retroactive to Thursday. Left-hander Jordan Wicks was called up from Triple-A Iowa to fill Cabrera’s roster spot for the Cubs, who entered Sunday’s game against the Houston Astros at 29-23 and in third place in the National League Central amid a seven-game losing streak.
Cabrera, 28, is 3-2 with a 4.00 ERA in 10 games (all starts) this season.
The Cubs also are without left-hander Matthew Boyd, who underwent left knee surgery on May 7. Boyd simulated multiple innings off the mound on Friday and is scheduled to face hitters this week in a live batting-practice session during a four-game series in Pittsburgh.
Chicago already has lost right-hander Cade Horton (elbow surgery) for the remainder of this season and might not have left-hander Justin Steele (left flexor strain) back until the second half.
Wicks went 0-1 with a 6.28 ERA in eight games for the Cubs last season and was 0-2 with a 4.44 ERA in seven Triple-A starts this season.

After brief stay in U.S., Tiger Woods jets back to Switzerland
Tiger Woods of Jupiter Links GC gets a hug and kiss from Vanessa Trump before match against Los Angeles Golf Club during the TGL finals at SoFi Center on March 24, 2026, in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Tiger Woods’ $50 million private plane returned to Switzerland on Sunday, with the injured golfer presumably in line to resume his rehabilitation process.
Per Celebplanes.com, the Gulfstream V took off Saturday night from Stuart, Fla., and flew just under nine hours to Zurich.
The New York Post published photos on May 14 of Woods getting off of a private plane at Palm Beach International Airport, about 45 miles from his home on Jupiter Island, Fla. Woods reportedly had been in rehab in Switzerland, going there soon after being charged with misdemeanor DUI following a rollover crash close to home on March 27.
On April 1, Martin County Court (Fla.) Judge Darren Steele granted the motion to travel submitted by Woods’ attorney, Douglas Duncan, who cited the 50-year-old golf superstar’s need for an “intensive, highly individualized and medically integrated program” away from media and public scrutiny.
Woods, 50, recently returned to the United States, presumably to be by the side of girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, 48, after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Trump called Woods “her strength” as she deals with her health issue.
Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., announced her diagnosis via social media on Thursday.
“Tiger has been very supportive of Vanessa through all of this and is really just focused on being there for her,” a source told the New York Post. “He’s proud of how positive she’s stayed and how she’s handling everything so far. She’s been so strong and he truly believes she’s going to be OK. He’s just trying to support her however he can right now.”
As for Woods, he reportedly is undergoing “intense” psychological treatment at a rehabilitation center in Switzerland to help manage what has been characterized as his dependency on painkillers.
Following the Florida accident, Woods — who has won 15 majors among his 82 career victories — said he would not play in the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Ga. He also removed his name from consideration to become captain of the United States’ 2027 Ryder Cup team.

Mets' Juan Soto (illness) scratched from lineup vs. Marlins
May 22, 2026; Miami, Florida, USA; New York Mets designated hitter Juan Soto (22) looks on against the Miami Marlins during the fourth inning at loanDepot Park. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images Slugger Juan Soto was scratched from the New York Mets’ starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the host Miami Marlins due to an illness.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Soto came to the ballpark on Sunday with a fever to go along with body aches.
“Soto’s ill, so he is out of the lineup,” Mendoza said prior to the game. “… He’s been battling the past three days, show up with fever today, body aches, didn’t have much sleep. Hopefully he recovers.
“There’s a lot of people for the past week have been dealing with this. Kind of a like a flu going around.”
Soto originally was slotted in the lineup as the team’s designated hitter and No. 3 in the lineup. Instead, MJ Melendez will serve as the team’s DH.
Soto, 27, belted a solo homer in New York’s 2-1 loss to Miami on Friday. The four-time All-Star and 2020 National League batting champion has a team-leading 10 homers to go along with 21 RBIs and a .294 batting average in 37 games this season.
