Orioles RHP Cabrera returns from suspension in nightcap

Sep 6, 2008 - 10:18 AM Oakland at Baltimore 7:05 p.m. EDT (Game 2)

BALTIMORE (Ticker) -- The Baltimore Orioles can only hope that Daniel Cabrera used his time off to work out the kinks. Cabrera returns from a six-game suspension on Saturday in the nightcap of a doubleheader with the Oakland Athletics.

The 27-year old Cabrera (8-8, 5.24 ERA) is making his first start since August 24, when he allowed seven run and nine hits in 3 2/3 innings of an 8-7 loss to the New York Yankees. He was serving the suspension for throwing at Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez on July 29.

The righthander is 0-1 with a 14.63 ERA in his last two starts. Cabrera is 1-2 with a 10.50 ERA in three career starts versus the A's.

Meanwhile, Oakland is unsure of what to expect out of Josh Outman. Outman, who went 7-4 with a 3.11 ERA in 11 starts and 31 relief appearances in three levels of the minors, is making his first major league start. The 23-year-old lefthander threw two scoreless innings in a 5-2 loss to Kansas City on Tuesday.
