Starting at first base in Game 1

Cabrera is starting at first base and batting eighth in Saturday's Game 1 of the ALDS against Kansas City.

Analisi

Cabrera played primarily at third base during the regular season but made five starts at first. Jazz Chisholm is locked into the starting role at the hot corner for the postseason, so Cabrera is needed much more at first base with Anthony Rizzo left off the roster due to a a pair of fractured fingers. Ben Rice is also on the team's ALDS roster as an option at first base.
