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.
Miami Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said that testing came back OK for right-hander Edward Cabrera (knee), and he's penciled in to make his next scheduled start this Sunday versus the division-rival Atlanta Braves. Cabrera was pulled from his start early on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays in the sixth inning when he injured his left knee while covering first base. The 26-year-old avoided a serious ailment, though, and won't have to skip a start in the rotation for the Fish. The Dominican hurler is currently sporting a career-worst 6.65 ERA (5.58 FIP) with a 1.55 WHIP and a 56:26 K:BB in 43 1/3 innings over his 10 starts in his fourth big-league campaign in 2024. Cabrera does have a career-high 28.6% strikeout rate, but his career 13.8% walk rate makes him a volatile fantasy asset on a start-by-start basis.
The Miami Marlins pulled starting pitcher Edward Cabrera from Tuesday's start against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays due to an apparent injury, and he was relieved by Declan Cronin. After looking uncomfortable throwing his first two pitches of the sixth inning, Cabrera was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rays with seven strikeouts and one run allowed on three hits and two walks in five innings of work. Fantasy managers should consider the 26-year-old right-hander day-to-day until the Marlins share more information about the injury. Cabrera tentatively lines up to toe the rubber next in Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. In his last five starts since coming off the injured list, the former top prospect has a 6.88 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, and 18:10 K:BB over 17 frames in Miami's rotation. UPDATE: According to manager Skip Schumaker, Cabrera tweaked his knee trying to cover first base and will undergo testing on Wednesday.
Edward Cabrera Returns From Injured List And Starting On Sunday
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (shoulder) was activated off the 60-day injured list and is set to start in the series finale on Sunday afternoon against the Chicago White Sox. This is going to be the 26-year-old's first start since May 7, which is when he moved to the injured list due to a right-shoulder impingement. The injury bug has followed the right-hander around throughout his major-league career, but when healthy, he has shown elite fantasy upside. This season, he struck out at least seven batters in three out of his five starts and tallied a season-high 10 K's on April 15. Cabrera will be a popular high-upside play in DFS this afternoon and could be worth adding in all standard leagues if he can remain healthy.
Miami Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera (shoulder) is with the team for the Fourth of July game on Thursday against the visiting Boston Red Sox and could be activated from the 60-day injured list when he's eligible to start on Sunday versus the Chicago White Sox in an excellent matchup. Despite the great matchup, the 26-year-old will still be a shaky fantasy play in his return from the IL. The Marlins initially were expecting Cabrera to make one more minor-league rehab start, too, but they have an opening in their rotation this Sunday. He'll almost certainly be on a limited pitch count if he makes the start that day. Cabrera has been out since early May with a right-shoulder impingement and has a 4.50 ERA with 15 K's and four walks in 10 innings in three rehab starts. Injuries and control issues have made Cabrera a dice roll in fantasy early in his career.
Edward Cabrera To Make Another Rehab Start On Saturday
Miami Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera (shoulder) will throw six innings or 80 to 85 pitches in his next minor-league rehab start on Saturday at Triple-A Jacksonville. As long as Cabrera doesn't suffer a setback with his right shoulder this weekend on the farm, it will be his last rehab start before rejoining Miami's big-league starting rotation. The 26-year-old has been out since early May with a right-shoulder impingement. In his three rehab starts, he has a 4.50 ERA with 15 strikeouts and four walks in 10 innings pitched. Fantasy managers in need of pitching help in shallow mixed leagues can probably wait on the Dominican hurler after he posted a 7.17 ERA and 1.59 WHIP with 31 strikeouts and 14 walks in 21 1/2 innings over his first five starts in 2024 before getting hurt. Injuries and poor control have made Cabrera a volatile fantasy asset.
Edward Cabrera Throws 67 Pitches In Third Rehab Start
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (shoulder) made another Triple-A rehab start on Sunday, but he only went three innings and threw 67 pitches. Cabrera was scheduled to go five innings or 80 pitches for Jacksonville on Sunday in what was his third minor-league rehab start amid his recovery from a right shoulder impingement, so he came up a bit short on expectations in terms of the length of his outing. Fantasy managers should expect Cabrera to make one more appearance this weekend before he gets reinstated from the injured list sometime next week if all goes well, with the earliest his activation can come arriving on July 7. The hard-throwing 26-year-old right-hander is a stash candidate for fantasy managers in deep mixed or NL-only leagues for his bat-missing stuff, but a lack of control has always plagued Cabrera in the major leagues.
Edward Cabrera Fires Four Hitless Innings In Second Rehab Start
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (shoulder) tossed four hitless innings on 60 pitches with seven strikeouts and two walks in his second rehab start for Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday. After throwing 49 pitches across three frames last Wednesday to begin his rehab assignment, Cabrera looked as good as one could have asked for on Tuesday. He was transferred to the 60-day on Sunday, so Cabrera won't be eligible to return from a right shoulder impingement for the last-place Marlins until July 7 at the earliest. Despite abysmal results from Miami's rotation this year, the hard-throwing 26-year-old right-hander is a stash candidate for fantasy managers in deep mixed or AL-only leagues for his tantalizing swing-and-miss stuff.
Miami Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Sunday morning. Cabrera has been sidelined since May 8 with a right shoulder impingement and appeared to be nearing closer to a return. This transfer to the 60-day IL now makes him ineligible for activation for another two weeks, so there must be a reason the Marlins wanted to slow down his progression. We will see if he makes his scheduled rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday. The 26-year-old produced a bloated 7.17 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB across his first four starts this season. He can provide some value for fantasy managers due to his high strikeout upside, but he needs to prove he is healthy before being added to rosters.
