Génesis Cabrera Stats

The Toronto Blue Jays acquired left-hander Genesis Cabrera from the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday in exchange for minor-league catching prospect Sammy Hernandez. Cabrera had been designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Monday. The 26-year-old Dominican southpaw struggled for St. Louis in 32 appearances out of their bullpen this year before being DFA'd, as he posted a 5.06 ERA (5.04 FIP), 1.56 WHIP, 18 walks and 38 strikeouts in 32 innings pitched. The Blue Jays will attempt to get more out of him and will likely start him in the minor leagues. Cabrera has a 4.14 ERA (4.44 FIP), 1.36 WHIP, three saves and a 23.9 percent strikeout rate in 189 1/3 major-league innings since 2019.

The St. Louis Cardinals designated left-handed reliever Genesis Cabrera for assignment on Monday morning. Cabrera had been with the team since 2019, and it's a surprising move given his presumed trade interest, although he can still be traded within seven days of being designated for assignment. The 26-year-old Dominican southpaw gets the boot off the team's 40-man roster after posting a 5.06 ERA (5.03 FIP), 1.56 WHIP, 18 walks and 38 strikeouts in 32 innings pitched over 32 relief appearances for the Red Birds in 2023. In his five years in the majors, Cabrera has a 4.14 ERA (4.44 FIP), 1.36 WHIP and 23.9 percent strikeout rate in 189 1/3 innings over 174 appearances (two starts).

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.
