The Colorado Rockies have placed Jason Giambi on the disabled list after it was discovered that he has a viral infection. Giambi says he hasn't felt well for several weeks. The Rockies also called up left-handed starter Edwar Cabrera, who will get the ball against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.
#Rockies recall LHP Edwar Cabrera from AAA, place Jason Giambi on 15-day DL with viral syndrome. Cabrera starts tonight.
