Cabrera is not in the lineup Sunday against the Giants, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

Cabrera has started each of the Mets' first 22 games this season at shortstop, but will get a day of rest in favor of Wilmer Flores for the afternoon contest. The veteran infielder is 3-for-6 against opposing pitcher Madison Bumgarner in his career, and actually hits southpaws a bit better than right-handers when looking at his career numbers, so Cabrera's absence Sunday appears to be maintenance related.
