Cabrera will start at first base and bat third Sunday against the Padres.

Cabrera will pick up his third straight start and second in a row at first base, replacing Christian Walker at the latter position for the second game in a row. Though the 38-80 Diamondbacks are likely to continue prioritizing younger options over the final six weeks of the season, Cabrera at least appears to be ahead of the struggling Walker in the pecking order among the veteran bats left on the roster. Cabrera's .737 OPS on the campaign is just over 100 points better than Walker's mark (.636).
