Genesis Cabrera Fantasy

St. Louis Cardinals left-handed pitcher Genesis Cabrera was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday as the Cardinals trimmed down their big league roster. With no set Opening Day yet, teams are still getting their rosters down to the new 26-man limit. Cabrera showed some positive signs last season but still needs to work on some things before he can be a reliable major league starter. He's just 23 years old despite making his professional debut in 2014 with the Rays, and he is an attractive piece in deeper dynasty and keeper leagues.

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Genesis Cabrera was forced to leave Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Minnesota Twins due to a cracked fingernail. Cabrera was trying to make a case for a rotation spot, but this setback could push him out of that competition. Cabrera was a bit shaky in 20 1/3 big league innings last season after a rough Triple-A season in which he posted a 5.91 ERA. Cabrera may be ticketed for the bullpen, but he has options left so another season in Triple-A, at least to start the year, may be in store.

The St. Louis Cardinals optioned starting pitcher Genesis Cabrera to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday and recalled pitcher Ryan Helsley from Memphis in a corresponding move. Cabrera, the team's No. 8 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was 0-2 with a 6.48 ERA in his two starts while allowing two home runs and four walks with five strikeouts in 8 1/3 innings for the Red Birds. The left-hander will go back to the farm to work on the command of his pitches but might get another shot later this year. Helsley will work in middle relief and can be ignored in fantasy.
