LSU freshman Daniel Cabrera will be the fourth LSU player to join Team USA this summer, coach Paul Mainieri said Thursday (June 28).
The outfielder will be replacing fellow Tiger outfielder Antoine Duplantis, whose is out for the summer with a left shoulder injury from colliding with the left field wall Tuesday.
Cabrera arrived Thursday morning from summer ball in Cape Cod. Mainieri, who is the USA Collegiate National Team manager, said he will already be in Thursday night's lineup against Taiwan.
Cabrera batted .315 with a team-leading 54 RBIs this season as a freshman. He was named to several Freshman All-America teams.
