Edward Cabrera DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera earned his first win of the season, throwing 5 shutout innings and striking out 10 in a 3-0 win over the Angels. After a rough start to the season, this is now his fourth straight start of allowing three runs or less. More importantly, he has walked five batters in 21 innings in that span, which is a huge improvement over the 11 walks he issued in his first four starts of 2025. He'll carry a 4.72 ERA into his next start, which is set to be against the Giants.

Miami Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera (finger) dealt with some "fluid build-up" in his fingernail area in Chicago, according to manager Clayton McCullough. As a result, the Marlins will push his next start back and give him a few extra days of rest. Instead of starting this weekend against the Tampa Bay Rays, Cabrera will now be pushed back and likely take his next turn in the starting rotation in a much tougher matchup against the Chicago Cubs. The 27-year-old has been dealing with finger/nail issues off and on for a while, and it certainly hasn't helped with his control issues on the mound. Fantasy managers will definitely want to think twice about using him in their starting lineups if he's able to make his start next week against the Cubs. In his fifth year in the big leagues with Miami, Cabrera has a bloated 5.52 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 26:13 K:BB in 29 1/3 innings over six starts in 2025.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (finger) will make his season debut on Friday in his team's series opener against the Washington Nationals at home. The 26-year-old has been shelved with a blister on his middle finger for the last month. Cabrera pitched well in his two rehab starts, allowing two earned runs and striking out ten batters over seven innings of work while walking none for Triple-A Jacksonville. The 6-foot-5 right-hander has shown the ability to miss bats in the bigs but has been plagued by injuries and control issues. If he can get a hold of his walk rate, he may provide mixed-league value in 2025 after all. Cabrera will line up against Nationals lefty Mitchell Parker, who owns a 0.73 ERA and 2-0 record across 12.1 innings this season.
