Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Pushed back with fingernail issue
Rotowire
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Friday that Cabrera's next start has been pushed back a few days due to fluid buildup in his fingernail area, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Cabrera's next turn had been scheduled to come up this weekend against the Rays, but he appears poised to take the ball early next week versus the Cubs instead, although McCullough didn't reveal the exact day for Cabrera's planned return. The righty has a history of fingernail/blister problems, but it appears at this juncture that this one will not require a stint on the 15-day injured list.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Continues to show progress
Rotowire
Cabrera did not factor into Saturday's decision against the White Sox, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings.
Cabrera got off to a shaky start after yielding a solo home run to Andrew Vaughn in the first inning. Cabrera was able to recover and kept the White Sox off the board for the next four frames, tossing 85 pitches (55 strikes). It was the least amount of hits and runs allowed across his six starts this season, though he still has a 5.52 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 26:13 K:BB across 29.1 innings. Cabrera is lineup to face Tampa Bay at home next weekend.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Better Sunday
Rotowire
Cabrera did not factor into the decision Sunday against the A's, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.
While it wasn't a dominant outing from Cabrera, the right-hander did a nice job of limiting the A's to a pair of second-inning runs while issuing just one walk, a season low. Cabrera now sports a 6.29 ERA through five starts (24.1 innings) this year with a 1.68 WHIP and 24:12 K:BB. He's currently scheduled for a road matchup with the White Sox in his next outing.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Struggles in no-decision
Rotowire
Cabrera didn't factor in the decision against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing five runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out two batters over four innings.
Cabrera allowed a constant stream of baserunners, and the nine hits against him marked a season-worst tally. The right-hander failed to miss many bats, notching just three whiffs and two punchouts after recording at least five strikeouts in each of his first three starts this season. Cabrera hasn't been able to pull things together so far this season, as he now carries an ugly 7.23 ERA and 1.77 WHIP through 18.2 innings across four starts.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Records seven strikeouts
Rotowire
Cabrera did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's win over the Reds. He allowed three runs on five hits and two walks over five-plus innings while striking out seven.
Cabrera coughed up a solo homer to Noelvi Marte in the third inning and an RBI double to TJ Friedl in the fifth. The Reds plated another run in the sixth after Cabrera allowed a hit and a walk before being removed. He has not completed six innings in any of his three outings this season, resulting in a 6.14 ERA with an 18:8 K:BB through 14.2 frames. Cabrera is in line for a tough road matchup against the Dodgers next week.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Control issues persist
Rotowire
Cabrera (0-1) was charged with the loss Thursday against the Diamondbacks. He surrendered five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six across four innings.
The right-hander has now issued exactly three walks in each of his first two starts of the campaign, and he also had a wild pitch and plunked a batter while allowing five stolen bases Thursday. Walks have been a problem throughout Cabrera's career with a 5.1 BB/9 over parts of five big-league seasons, so he's difficult to trust as a consistent fantasy option. Encouragingly, he worked up to 88 pitches Thursday, so he at least doesn't appear to have any workload limitations after opening the campaign on the IL due to a blister.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: No-decision in 2025 debut
Rotowire
Cabrera did not factor into the decision in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Nationals. He allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings.
Cabrera started the season on the 15-day injured list due to a blister on his right middle finger that developed during spring training. He was activated off the IL on Friday and didn't yield a run through the first five innings. He ran into more resistance in the sixth inning and was pulled after giving up a two-run home run to Josh Bell and a walk to Alex Call. Known for being erratic, Cabrera fell just one out shy of registering a quality start, throwing 79 pitches (47 strikes) and generating 11 whiffs. The 26-year-old right-hander will look for his first win in his next start, which is slated for next week at home against the Diamondbacks.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Could return over weekend
Rotowire
Cabrera (finger) has joined the team in New York following a rehab start Sunday at Triple-A Jacksonville, Fish on First reports.
Cabrera's activation from the 15-day injured list isn't imminent at this point, though the fact that he's joined Miami on the current road trip is likely a sign he's close to returning. The club will monitor the right-hander closely over the next few days to determine if he's in need of another rehab start.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Strikes out six in rehab start
Rotowire
Cabrera (finger) covered four innings and gave up two runs (one earned) on six hits and no walks while striking out six in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Jacksonville.
Cabrera built up to 53 pitches in his second rehab outing with Jacksonville. Though Cabrera has long been plagued by control problems, he hasn't issued a walk in either of his rehab starts, which have covered seven innings. Cabrera is eligible to come off the 15-day injured list this week, but the Marlins may want to see him get stretched out a little bit more in one final rehab outing before adding him back to the big-league rotation.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Works three frames in rehab start
Rotowire
Cabrera (finger) struck out four batters and allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks across three innings Tuesday in a rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville.
Cabrera served up a solo home run in the second inning but was otherwise sharp over his three frames while spotting 27 of his 46 pitches for strikes. He'll likely get stretched out over one or two more rehab starts before returning from the 15-day injured list around mid-April.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Ready for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Cabrera (finger) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Cabrera developed a blister on his right middle finger during a March 13 Grapefruit League start that resulted in him opening the season on the injured list, but he doesn't look as though he'll be in store for an extended stay on the shelf. After coming out of a three-inning simulated game last Wednesday no worse for the wear, Cabrera is now ready to test himself in an uncontrolled environment. He'll be eligible to return from the IL on April 7, but the Marlins may want him to complete one more rehab start beyond Tuesday's before clearing him for his 2025 debut with the big club.
The Marlins placed Cabrera (finger) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.
Cabrera threw a simulated game Wednesday and hopes to be ready to rejoin the Miami rotation by mid-April as he recovers from a blister on his right middle finger. Connor Gillispie and Valente Bellozo will fill rotation spots to begin the season while Cabrera and Ryan Weathers (forearm) are on the shelf.
Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Set for sim game Wednesday
Rotowire
Cabrera (blister) will throw a bullpen session Monday ahead of a simulated game Wednesday, Justin Morris of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander last pitched in a Grapefruit League game March 13 before being shut down due to a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand. Cabrera is aiming for a mid-April return to the rotation, and he likely won't need too many outings to build back up for the regular season -- he threw 51 pitches, albeit only 24 of them for strikes, on March 7 in the spring start prior to developing the blister.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Bullpen session on tap
Rotowire
Cabrera (finger) will throw a bullpen session Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Cabrera is already slated to begin the season on the injured list, but the fact he's trending toward mound work before Opening Day is good news considering his throwing session Monday reportedly didn't go well. If he gets through his bullpen session with no issues, the plan is for Cabrera to pitch in a sim game Wednesday, at which point a return timeline may be established.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: IL-bound with blister issue
Rotowire
Cabrera will begin the season on the 15-day injured list with a blister on his right middle finger, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Cabrera exited in his last Grapefruit League outing Thursday due to the injury. He played catch Monday, but the throwing session apparently didn't go as well as the Marlins had hoped. Connor Gillispie has tossed eight scoreless innings this spring without allowing a hit and looks to be first in line to fill the rotation vacancy created by Cabrera's absence.
