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

Miami Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera (shoulder) has been diagnosed with a right-shoulder impingement after undergoing an MRI exam. "Day-to-day thing," said manager Skip Schumaker. Cabrera has avoided any structural damage in his shoulder, but he also missed around a month in 2023 with a similar injury, so fantasy managers shouldn't just assume that the 25-year-old hurler will be able to pitch when the regular season kicks off in a couple of weeks. We should know more later this week on whether Cabrera will need to go on the injured list to start the year. In his third year in the big leagues in 2023, Cabrera went 7-7 with a 4.24 ERA and 1.44 WHIP with 118 K's and 66 walks in 99 2/3 innings. Injuries and walks are concerning, but when Cabrera is on like he was to close out last year, he has the ability to be a fantasy asset with a career 26.2% strikeout rate.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (shoulder) is scheduled to undergo an MRI, according to manager Skip Schumaker. The right-hander was supposed to take the mound on Sunday, but didn't due to shoulder tightness. The organization said that it was a precautionary move, but it makes sense that they want to do imaging as well. Cabrera was off to a hot spring, so hopefully, it's just a minor setback for him. Fantasy managers will have to check back later after the imaging is done.

Miami Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera departed his Sunday start before throwing a pitch due to right shoulder tightness. He finished his warmup tosses before trainers came out to evaluate him and he ultimately walked off the field with what the team is calling precautionary reasons. The 25-year-old has yet to allow a run across five Grapefruit League games this spring, striking out five against zero walks in that time. After he worked to a 2.22 ERA across five starts at Triple-A in the 2023 season, Cabrera posted a 4.24 ERA in 22 outings (20 starts) with the Marlins a season ago, punching out a healthy 27.2% of the hitters he faced in that time. More word on his status should be made available in the coming days but Cabrera remains a solid fantasy asset for the 2024 season.

In an attempt to bolster their starting rotation, the Pittsburgh Pirates have reportedly been in contact with the Miami Marlins to discuss a trade involving starting pitcher Edward Cabrera, per Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Jason Mackey. Such a deal would involve the Pirates sending one of three infielders: Liover Peguero, Nick Gonzales, or Ji Hwan Bae. Cabrera has shown plenty of strikeout upside but a lack of control so far in his big-league career, going 7-7 with a 4.24 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 27.2% strikeout rate, and 15.2% walk rate in 99 2/3 innings pitched in 2023. From a fantasy perspective, a Cabrera trade from the Marlins, who have had a knack for developing young pitchers in recent history to the Pirates would be a hit on his fantasy value.
