Indians 2B Asdrubal Cabrera hit his first home run since Sept. 17 on Monday when he took Blue Jays SP A.J. Burnett deep in a 3-0 win. Cabrera connected for the two-run homer on a 1-1 pitch in the seventh inning during Game 1 of a doubleheader. It was his only hit in three at-bats. Cabrera is now 3-for-7 (.429) with three RBI in his last two games. (Updated 05/12/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Cabrera continues to hit below the Mendoza Line and hasn't been the same offensive weapon he was in 2007 when he supplanted Josh Barfield at second base for Cleveland. If Cabrera doesn't start producing soon, his job could be on the line. For now, he remains an AL-only Fantasy option. (Updated 05/12/2008).
Cabrera turned the 14th unassisted triple play in major league history, accomplishing the feat Monday night in the second game of a doubleheader against Toronto. (Updated 05/12/2008)
Advice
Cabrera made a diving catch on a line drive by Lyle Overbay, touched second base and then tagged out Marco Scutaro to quickly end the fifth inning. That play came in the second game, a 3-0, 10-inning loss. Cabrera, though, homered and drove in two runs in the opener of the twinbill, a 3-0 victory.
