Génesis Cabrera Stats

The St. Louis Cardinals placed left-hander Genesis Cabrera (undisclosed) on the injured list on Saturday and recalled right-hander Jake Woodford from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. There was no reason given for Cabrera's injured list placement, so he's likely on the COVID-19 IL. The 25-year-old's timetable will depend on whether he tested positive for the virus and how long until he can clear the league's protocols. With Cabrera out, Zach Thompson should see more high-leverage situations ahead of co-closers Ryan Helsley and Giovanny Gallegos. Cabrera has only one save this year, but he's been useful with a 2.27 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 26 strikeouts and 12 walks in his 31 2/3 relief innings.

St. Louis Cardinals left-handed reliever Genesis Cabrera left Saturdays game against Cleveland with a cracked fingernail on the middle finger of his pitching hand. Prior to his exit, Cabrera struck out three batters and lowered his ERA on the season to 4.32 across seven appearances. Having been utilized primarily out of relief during the early portion of his career, Cabrera holds little fantasy intrigue at this stage, low on the rungs of the clubs closer pecking order.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said that pitchers Alex Reyes and Genesis Cabrera are "getting closer" to joining the team for workouts at summer camp. Reyes has not been at camp for undisclosed reasons, while Cabrera tested positive for COVID-19 during intake testing at the beginning of camp. He was asymptomatic. With Opening Day less than a week away, their availability for the start of the season is in question, and Shildt said the team won't rush them. With John Brebbia (elbow) and Jordan Hicks out for the season, St. Louis could use both Reyes and Cabrera to strengthen their bullpen. Cabrera has an electric fastball from the left side, while Reyes, 25, is trying to rebound from three lost seasons due to injury. Reyes was once a top prospect, but he likely won't have any redraft appeal unless he finds his way into the starting rotation at some point.
