Cabrera is off the IL to make a start Friday against the Nationals. The 26-year-old should be stretched out enough to make a traditional start, but there’s obvious risk in using Cabrera as a streaming option regardless of his health.

The Nets will be very shorthanded against the Timberwolves. Drew Timme and Maxwell Lewis are two players fantasy managers should keep an eye on as potential starters. Timme has legitimate upside for the rest of the season given his lack of competition at center.

Thomas has been unable to play since being plunked in the wrist Tuesday. The 29-year-old remains day-to-day and could be available off the bench, but Angel Martinez will get the start in center and hit seventh.

Contreras has been awful to begin the year with just five hits in his 49 at-bats, and he’ll get a day of rest for Friday’s tilt against Philadelphia. Jordan Walker is hitting second with Contreras off, and Pedro Pagés will get the start behind the plate.

Thor is active but will likely play a limited role as a backup forward.
