CHICAGO -- Nasusel Cabrera ha spent most of his time lately around the batting cages, and he thinks it could have a positive effect on his new job as the Mariners' new interim bullpen coach.

"I used to be -- every day, all day long -- in the cage with hitters," Cabrera said inside the visitors' dugout at Guaranteed Rate Field on Friday. "Now I know the way the hitter thinks, so I can help the pitchers even better."

Cabrera, who has been a part of the Mariners' Major League staff since July 2015, will try to use that experience in his new role, following the departure of Mike Hampton.
