Cabrera was scratched from Wednesday's lineup after a family illness kept him from sleeping Tuesday night, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.

Cabrera's absence from the lineup is not related to his recent knee injury, so he should return to the lineup in the coming days. The Mets opted to play Jose Reyes at shortstop Wednesday, so he is presumably second on the depth chart behind Cabrera at this point.
