JUPITER, Fla.--Lefthander Genesis Cabrera, who has struck out five in three scoreless innings this spring, will start against Minnesota with scheduled starter Kwang Hyun Kim switched to a side throwing session as he tends to a minor groin issue.
"It's very mild," said manager Mike Shildt. "To say it's nothing wouldn't be accurate because it's something. The training staff found it very pro-actively, which I applaud."
Korean-born Kim, who like Cabrera has whiffed five in three spotless innings, threw a bullpen session after the diagnosis four days ago. And, and after his session on Monday, he is slated to start one of the two games the Cardinals have on Thursday.
