53 Melky Cabrera, LF

Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera pushed his hitting streak to seven games Monday against the Rays with a 2-for-4 performance. Cabrera had his 10th double, one run and one RBI.

Cabrera is batting .429 (12 for 28) with five RBI, six runs and six doubles during the streak. He's actually performed pretty well throughout May, batting .362 (25 for 69) with one home run, eight doubles, nine RBI and 10 runs.

Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera, who recorded four hits and two RBI against the Giants Tuesday, underwent an MRI Wednesday, Sportsnet.ca reports. 

The MRI showed irritation in Cabrera's right quad and left hamstring. The Blue Jays plan to play him as long as he can tolerate the pain. He's gone 16 for 39 (.410) over his last nine games with a homer and eight RBI. 

Blue Jays designated hitter Melky Cabrera led off and recorded four hits on Tuesday in a 10-6 win over the Giants, his former team. Cabrera doubled, drove in two runs and scored twice. 

Cabrera, who reached base and scored in the first inning, drove in a run with a single to left later in the same first frame. He added his second RBI of the game with a deep double to right field in the seventh. 

He finished 4 for 5 to raise his average to .278. Cabrera has hit in three straight and has gone 6 for 13 over that stretch with two doubles and four RBI. He has five doubles in his last 10 games with eight RBI over that span. 

Cabrera is headed for an MRI Wednesday for a hamstring issue he's been playing through. 

Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera remained in the starting lineup as the designed hitter for Tuesday's series opener against the Giants -- his former team -- despite lingering soreness in both of his legs, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Cabrera, who has not missed any playing time this season because of the soreness, is scheduled to have an MRI on Wednesday to determine if he is suffering from a more significant issue.

Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera hasn't missed a game this season, but he said Sunday he's battling through issues to both hamstrings.

"My legs are a little sore," Cabrera said through interpreter Luis Rivera, per MLB.com. "My hamstrings are a little tight, but I'm going to give it whatever I have that day. I want to be in the lineup every day, no matter what. That's why I continue to play."

Cabrera, who has received some starts at DH lately, is starting to turn the corner offensively. He's batting .311 (14 for 45) in May after batting .241 in April.

"I'm feeling better," he said. "I'm showing up early every day to get my work done in the cage, and I'm going to go out and continue to play hard. Nothing has changed. Nothing I'm doing different. I'm just continuing to work, and it's paying off now that I'm putting more work into it."
