Edward Cabrera Should be Able to Make his Next Start

Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell said that right-hander Edward Cabrera (hand) felt good on Wednesday, so he should be on a normal schedule for his next start, provided that his bullpen day goes well, according to Jared Wyllys of CHGO Sports. Cabrera was pulled from his start on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies early due to a right-hand cramp, but the Cubs aren't too worried that it will cause him to miss his next scheduled start. As long as he doesn't suffer a setback with his hand, Cabrera should return to the mound next week in a strong matchup against the last-place Mets. The 28-year-old Dominican hurler has been inconsistent for the Cubs and fantasy managers in 2026 in his first year in Chicago, going 4-4 with a 5.21 ERA (5.14 FIP) and 1.39 WHIP with 61 strikeouts and 25 walks in 67 1/3 innings pitched across his 13 starts. Cabrera's walk rate is under 10% for the second straight year, but his strikeout rate has dipped to a career-low 21.3%. In his first start against the Mets on April 17 at Wrigley Field, Cabrera came away with a win, allowing three earned runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out four in six innings.

Edward Cabrera Leaves his Start Early on Tuesday With Hand Cramp

Chicago Cubs right-hander Edward Cabrera (hand) was pulled from his start early on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field with a cramp in his right hand, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN. Cabrera was handed his fourth loss of the year in a 5-2 decision against Colorado, allowing five earned runs on three hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out three in 4 1/3 innings of work. The good news is that Cabrera isn't dealing with blister issues on any of his fingers, an issue that has already caused him to miss time on the injured list this year. For now, we'll consider the 28-year-old Dominican hurler to be day-to-day, but he could be in danger of missing his next scheduled start. In his first year on the North Side of Chicago, Cabrera has been pretty volatile for fantasy managers, as he entered his start on Tuesday against Colorado with a 4.86 ERA (5.08 FIP) and 1.41 WHIP with 58 strikeouts and 23 walks in 63 innings over his 12 starts. After his rough outing on Tuesday that ended prematurely, Cabrera is sporting a 5.21 season ERA.

Edward Cabrera Officially Activated from Injured List Ahead of Start on Friday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (finger) has been activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start on Friday against the San Francisco Giants. The 28-year-old last pitched on May 20 before being placed on the IL due to a blister issue. Before the injury, Cabrera recorded a 3-2 record with a 4.00 ERA, 1.35 ERA, and 47 strikeouts across 54 innings (10 starts). The right-hander's average fastball velocity had dipped from 97 miles per hour in 2025 to 95.9 mph, and his strikeout rate had fallen from 25.8% to 20.7%. It's possible that blister issues had been plaguing Cabrera before he hit the shelf, which could explain his downturn in production. Now that he's back, fantasy managers should monitor closely for an uptick in his velocity and strikeout rate.

Edward Cabrera Scheduled to Start on Friday Against Giants

Chicago Cubs right-hander Edward Cabrera (finger) is now scheduled to come off the 15-day injured list to start in Friday's series opener at Wrigley Field against the visiting San Francisco Giants, according to MLB.com. Cabrera was initially expected to come off the IL to start in Game 2 of the series on Saturday, but they will instead move him up a day and push right-hander Ben Brown back. The 28-year-old Dominican hurler didn't allow more than three runs in a start in his first year in Chicago until May 9, and he'll return from the IL with a 3-2 record, 4.00 ERA (4.45 FIP), and 1.35 WHIP with 47 strikeouts and 20 walks in 54 innings pitched across his first 10 starts in 2026. He wasn't exactly great in May, allowing 15 runs (12 earned) on 23 hits (five homers) while walking eight and striking out 18 in 18 2/3 innings over four starts. Cabrera's velocity is down this year, and he's sporting a career-low 20.7% strikeout rate, making him a shaky fantasy streamer with the Cubbies. He'll face a Giants squad in the middle of the pack in team OPS (.703) this year.

Edward Cabrera Scheduled to Return to Cubs Rotation on Saturday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (finger) will return from the 15-day injured list on Saturday against the San Francisco Giants, per Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network. Cabrera was placed on the IL due to a blister on his right middle finger on May 21. Across 54 innings (10 starts) before the injury, Cabrera posted a 3-2 record with a 4.00 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts. The 28-year-old's average fastball velocity was down from 97 miles per hour to 95.9 mph, and his strikeout rate had dipped to a career-worst 20.7%. If Cabrera's blister issue is fully resolved, it could help him rediscover his 2025 form, when he logged a 3.53 ERA and a 25.8% strikeout rate across 26 starts with the Miami Marlins.

Cubs Place Edward Cabrera on the 15-Day Injured List

The Chicago Cubs placed right-hander Edward Cabrera (finger) on the 15-day injured list due to a blister on his right middle finger, retroactive to May 21. He was pulled from Wednesday's start against the Milwaukee Brewers early after allowing our runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out two batters across three innings. Before landing on the injured list, Cabrera owned a (3-2) record with a 4.00 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and a 47:20 K:BB across 54 innings this season. The Cubs recalled left-hander Jordan Wicks in a corresponding move, and he will take Cabrera's spot in the rotation. Wicks owns a 4.44 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and 20 strikeouts across 26 1/3 innings with Triple-A Iowa. The 26-year-old has pitched well recently, posting a 0.60 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 12 strikeouts over 15 innings. Wicks is scheduled to start on the road against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. He is mainly a streaming option in deep and NL-Only leagues for now.

Edward Cabrera Leaves Early on Wednesday With Middle-Finger Blister

Chicago Cubs right-hander Edward Cabrera (finger) left his start early on Wednesday against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers with a right middle-finger blister, according to Jared Wyllys of CHGO Sports. Cabrera got through only three innings on Wednesday, allowing four runs (one earned) on four hits while walking two and striking out two to take his second loss of the season. It could be worse, but Cabrera is now in danger of missing his next scheduled start next Tuesday in Pittsburgh against the Pirates. The 28-year-old Dominican hurler has been inconsistent in his first year with the Cubbies, as he came into his start on Wednesday with a 3-1 record, 4.06 ERA (4.51 FIP), and 1.31 WHIP with 45 strikeouts and 18 walks in 51 innings pitched across nine starts. Fantasy managers should consider Cabrera day-to-day and check back in a few days to see how he's progressing with his blister. Cabrera faced the Pirates in his third start of the year back on April 11 at Wrigley Field and allowed three earned runs with three walks and four strikeouts in five innings for a no-decision.

Edward Cabrera Showing Consistency With the Cubs in 2026

Chicago Cubs right-hander Edward Cabrera has been fantastic with his new team in 2026, as he is (3-0) with a 3.06 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 29 strikeouts in 35 1/3 innings pitched. While the strikeout numbers are down for him compared to his career mark (25.5 percent strikeout rate), the whiff (27.5 percent) and chase rate (35.0 percent) remain solid, so the strikeouts should follow suit. Cabrera has allowed three earned runs or fewer in every one of his outings so far (six starts) while going at least five innings in each start. His next outing is scheduled at home on May 4 against the Cincinnati Reds, where he continues to be a must-start in all formats. Fantasy managers who invested in Cabrera in the middle rounds of their draft are seeing a solid return and should feel optimistic about the remainder of the 2026 season.

Edward Cabrera Leaning on his Fastball More

Chicago Cubs right-hander Edward Cabrera has been throwing his four-seam fastball around 30% of the time in spring training as he heads into his first season with the Cubs, according to Jordan Bastian of MLB.com. Cabrera used the fastball oly 13% of the time in 2025 with the Miami Marlins, reducing its usage from 27.7% in 2024. "I want to see how they play off each other. If there are opportunities for us to help him play up the fastball by using it in certain situations or following certain sequences, then I want to try to help him find that," pitching coach Tommy Hottovy said. Cabrera has a signature changeup that he throws often, but the Cubs want him to use his heater more to make both offerings more effective. The 27-year-old's fantasy stock is on the rise in 2026 with a better team after he had a 3.53 ERA and 150 strikeouts in 137 2/3 innings for the Fish in 2025. Cabrera offers plenty of upside as a No. 3 or No. 4 fantasy starting pitcher.

Cubs Officially Acquire Edward Cabrera From Marlins

According to Will Sammon, the deal to send right-handed pitcher Edward Cabrera to the Chicago Cubs has been finalized. In return, the Cubs are sending prospects Owen Caissie, Cristian Hernandez, and Edgardo DeLeon to Miami. Cabrera is coming off the largest workload of his career as he tossed a season-best 137 2/3 innings during the 2025 season. This was the first time he eclipsed the 100.0 inning mark in a campaign. Across this workload, the right-hander posted a 3.53 ERA with a 1.23 WHIP. He struck out 150 batters but showed modest command, posting an 8.3% BB%. His 3.99 xERA suggests he could take a bit of a step back, but his 47.5% ground-ball rate should play well with an elite Chicago defense behind him. While his workload concerns do make him a risky fantasy asset, when healthy, he has flashed high strikeout upside and should be in a great position to win games on a competing Cubs team.
