Cubs' Genesis Cabrera: Dropped from 40-man

The Cubs designated Cabrera for assignment Saturday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

After giving up six earned runs in two innings over his last two outings, Cabrera now finds himself removed from the 40-man less than a month after signing with the club. The 28-year-old lefty now owns a 6.35 ERA through 17 innings this year but could still offer bullpen depth for a team in need of relief help.
