Edward Cabrera DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Miami Marlins new manager Clayton McCullough thinks that right-hander Edward Cabrera can make big strides in 2025 after he went 4-8 with a 4.95 ERA (4.68 FIP) and 1.37 WHIP with 107 strikeouts and 50 walks in 96 1/3 innings over 20 starts in his fourth big-league season in 2024. Cabrera does have 225 strikeouts over the last two seasons for the Fish, but the 26-year-old Dominican, but he also hasn't had a walk rate below 11.3 percent so far in the big leagues. Additionally, injuries have been a problem and have contributed to his inconsistency at the major-league level. Based on just his stuff, Cabrera is an arm to watch that should be locked into Miami's starting rotation at the start of the year, but fantasy managers in 12-team redraft leagues likely will have better options to stash for starting-rotation depth early on.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (undisclosed) has been scratched ahead of his start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. The organization hasn't given a reason why Cabrera was pulled ahead of his start. He has already been on the injured list twice this season, so hopefully he won't require a third trip. In the meantime, Austin Kitchen will draw the start for Friday's game. The 27-year-old has only thrown five innings on the big-league club this season. Kitchen won't be an ideal streaming option against a tough Phillies lineup.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera tossed a five-inning gem in a victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, giving up no earned runs on three hits and two walks with eight strikeouts. The right-hander brilliantly limited the potent Atlanta offense to earn his second win of the season. He has a 5.96 ERA and 1.49 WHIP, making it difficult to roster him in fantasy leagues. But the strikeout potential is excellent as he has shown with 64 punchouts in 48 1/3 innings. He might be someone to keep an eye on for the rest of the season to see if he can show improved results.
