Cubs activate Edward Cabrera from injured list, option Tyler Ferguson

The Chicago Cubs have activated Edward Cabrera from the injured list in time for his start against the San Francisco Giants at Wrigley Field this afternoon. Cabrera missed two starts due to a blister sustained on May 20 against the Milwaukee Brewers, where he allowed four runs in three innings. To accommodate Cabrera, the team has optioned right-handed reliever Tyler Ferguson to Triple-A Iowa. Ferguson was recalled just days ago but did not appear in a game during his brief stint with the Cubs.
