Astros outfielder Trey Cabbage joins The Matt Thomas Show ahead of the first of a three-game, weekend series against his former team: the Los Angeles Angels. Cabbage was traded from the Angels to the Astros for pitching prospect Carlos Espinosa on January 31. The Astros "welcomed me coming in," Cabbage said.
The 27-year-old was recalled to the majors Tuesday after Kyle Tucker fouled a ball off his shin and left Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Even though he does not want to see anybody injured, "you got to take advantage of the opportunity." Cabbage recorded his first home run of the season against the Cardinals on Wednesday.
Cabbage also discusses growing up in Tennessee, experiencing the humidity in Houston and getting experience at first base.
