Cabrera (thumb) confirmed Sunday that despite an initial MRI showing no damage he does have a ligament tear in his thumb, which may force him to go onto the disabled list, The New York Daily News reports.

Cabrera initially injured the left thumb diving for a ball last week. He aggravated it trying to hit an inside pitch Saturday, which may have exacerbated the tear. If Cabrera does go onto the disabled list, which may be determined by how he feels Monday, look for Jose Reyes to play shortstop with T.J. Rivera manning third base. If he will be sidelined long-term, the Mets could promote Amed Rosario from Triple-A Las Vegas.
