Asdrubal Cabrera seems to be getting closer to being ready for Opening Night for the New York Mets. On Friday, Cabrera had both played catch and tracked pitches in the batting cage in his return from a strained patella tendon. Both yesterday and today, Cabrera has also been seen swinging a bat at Mets camp and hitting off a tee.

It is beginning to look a lot clearer that Cabrera could be ready to play on April 3rd, which would be a huge plus for the Mets, as his chances looked pretty bleak when he suffered his knee injury ten days ago. If Cabrera could get into game action by next weekend, he should be good to go for Opening Night.
