"Shortstop Everth Cabrera flew from Fort Wayne, Ind., to San Diego Saturday morning for what could have been a one-game cameo with the Padres.
Cabrera replaced shortstop Jason Bartlett on the roster and in the Padres lineup Sunday when Bartlett went on paternity leave.
Bartlett's wife Kelly gave birth to the couple's second child Sunday afternoon, a son named Jagger Alan Bartlett.
But Bartlett is expected to rejoin the Padres in Florida Tuesday, meaning Cabrera's stay in the major leagues could last only a game.
Cabrera went 1-for-5, stole a base and scored a run in his first major league game since the end of last season. He also made several nice plays in the field."
