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.
Edward Cabrera Throws 49 Pitches In First Rehab Start
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.
