Asdrubal Cabrera left the New York Mets 7-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds in the eighth inning on Thursday night with pain in his lower back and will have a MRI today.
Cabrera was hurt making a throw from third base in the top of the seventh and was replaced in the lineup by Gavin Cecchini with Matt Reynolds shifting from second to third.
The veteran Cabrera was 2 for 4 in the game and is hitting .360 with nine extra base hits, ten runs scored and 12 RBI in his last 14 games. Asdrubal is slashing .266/.337/.415 with 26 doubles, 12 home runs and 47 RBI for the season.
On Thursday afternoon the Mets announced that infielder Wilmer Flores will not play again this season and that Amed Rosario is still day-to-day with swelling in his right index finger.
