Mets shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera says he actually has torn ligament in thumb

Asdrubal Cabrera missed Sunday’s series finale in Milwaukee after his injured right thumb acted up. After the game, Cabrera confirmed that he is doubtful for the start of the series in Arizona, and depending how his thumb feels on Monday, he could land on the disabled list.

Cabrera injured his right thumb on May 6 on a play in the hole between second and third base. He’d leave the game in extreme pain, so naturally Mets fans all over the country worried he’d be a lot for a long time.

The Mets would have Cabrera take an MRI to see the extent of the injury to his thumb.
