Edward Cabrera's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (shoulder) made his first minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, throwing three innings with four strikeouts. Cabrera allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk on Wednesday, pouring in 30 of his 49 pitches for strikes. He's likely going to need at least another appearance or two in the minors before the Marlins think about activating him from the injured list, considering Cabrera produced a miserable 7.17 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over his five starts this season. The 26-year-old former top prospect can miss bats in bunches; he's got 31 punchouts through 21 1/3 innings. If Cabrera can sharpen up his control on the farm, he still has a chance at mixed-league fantasy relevance during the second half of the season.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (shoulder) is asymptomatic, and he'll be continuing his throwing program in Jupiter, Florida. Cabrera had previously been shut down following a bullpen session two weeks ago before resuming flat-ground work on Monday, and he appears to be back on track for a return in late June at the moment. The 26-year-old former top prospect has immense strikeout upside, as evidenced by his 31 punchouts through 21 1/3 innings for the last-place Marlins this season, but his lack of command has yielded a 7.17 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over five starts. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues don't need to hold onto Cabrera, and it remains to be seen when rookie right-hander Max Meyer will be recalled from the minor leagues to give Miami's rotation a boost.

Miami Marlins starter Edward Cabrera (shoulder) played catch from 60 feet on Monday as he continues to recover from his second shoulder injury of the season. The 26-year-old was shut down from throwing after a bullpen session on May 17, but he is starting to ramp things back up. Injuries have defined Cabrera's 2024 season so far as he has only been able to make five starts. He owns a 7.17 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB across those appearances. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues can probably leave Cabrera on the waiver wire as there is still no timetable for his return. Hopefully the former top prospect can reach his full potential before it is too late.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (shoulder) has been shut down from throwing for five to seven days. Cabrera's rehab from a right shoulder impingement found a hitch in the road when he didn't recover well from last Friday's bullpen session, so the Marlins will err on the side of caution with the former top prospect. At this point, fantasy managers should probably not be expecting Cabrera to be an option until late June at the earliest. The hard-throwing 26-year-old right-hander has all the talent to develop into an upper-echelon fantasy starter with 31 punchouts through 21 1/3 innings this year, but his lack of control has always prevented him from reaching his full potential. With a 7.17 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over three starts, Cabrera isn't looking like the most convincing stash in redraft leagues right now.

The Miami Marlins placed right-hander Edward Cabrera (shoulder) on the injured list on Wednesday with a right-shoulder impingement. Cabrera was pulled from his outing early on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers after allowing a grand slam in just two innings of work, and now he'll be forced to miss at least several weeks. It's the second time he's gone on the IL in the last three months, and walks have also continued to be a major issue for the 26-year-old. In his five starts this year, Cabrera has a rough 7.17 ERA (4.18 FIP) and 1.59 WHIP with 14 walks and 31 strikeouts in 21 1/3 innings pitched. The strikeout upside is evident, but until Cabrera can stay healthy and show a better command of his pitches, fantasy managers in mixed leagues should look for better options. The good news for the Marlins is that left-hander Braxton Garrett (shoulder) has been activated and is ready to make his 2024 debut.
