Player Outlook
Edward Cabrera made two trips to the injured list last season due to a right shoulder impingement and continued to be plagued by inconsistent command and control when on the field. He turned in a 3.57 ERA overall in the second half even as his walk issues got the better of him multiple times. The right-hander leans heavily on his fastball-changeup combo while mixing in a breaking ball, and the stuff has been good enough for him to post a 26 percent strikeout rate for his career. However, occasional homer issues exacerbate the walks when he struggles to hit his spots, and injuries have held him back. Whether the command ever materializes remains the big question, and until that missing piece comes along, he will remain susceptible to blowups. The Marlins are likely holding out hope and figure to give Cabrera at least one more chance to prove himself in a starting role.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: IL-bound with blister issue

    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.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Playing catch Monday

    Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Cabrera (blister) will play catch Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. It will be the first time Cabrera has thrown since he had to be removed from his Grapefruit League start last Thursday with a blister on his right middle finger. Cabrera might have to skip his next spring training start, which would threaten his Opening Day availability.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Could have next start skipped

    Cabrera's next scheduled Grapefruit League start could be skipped as he deals with a blister, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Cabrera had to be lifted from Thursday's start against the Astros after just 12 pitches with a blister on his right middle finger. The Marlins will determine a course of action with Cabrera later Friday, but there's a distinct possibility he won't be ready for the start of the season. The righty has been pummeled for 13 runs on 11 hits and four walks over 4.2 innings this spring.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Dealing with blister issue

    Cabrera was forced from Thursday's Grapefruit League start against the Astros in the first inning with a blister on his right middle finger, Stephen Strom of the Marlins Radio Network reports. Cabrera -- who has dealt with blister problems before -- lasted just 12 pitches and didn't record an out in the outing before being pulled. The right-hander has had a disastrous spring, allowing 13 runs on 11 hits and four walks over 4.2 frames. Cabrera is expected to open the season in the Marlins' rotation, although that plan might be revisited.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Exits start with apparent injury

    Cabrera was removed from Thursday's Grapefruit League start against the Astros in the first inning with an apparent injury, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. De Nicola speculates that Cabrera -- who threw only two of 12 pitches for strikes before being lifted -- could be having fingernail issues, which is something he's dealt with in the past. The Marlins should update the right-hander's status shortly.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Spring struggles continue

    Cabrera got tagged for six runs on four hits -- including three home runs -- and two walks over 1.2 innings in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox. He struck out two. Trevor Story took Cabrera deep twice, while Abraham Toro also touched him up for a long ball. The right-hander's ability to generate whiffs keeps earning him chances in the Marlins' rotation -- he's posted a strikeout rate north of 25 percent in the majors in each of the last three seasons -- but Cabrera's issues with command and control remain a significant hurdle between him and consistent fantasy production. Through 4.2 innings over three appearances this spring, he's stumbled to a 19.29 ERA with a 3:2 K:BB.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Shaky command to begin spring

    Cabrera gave up three runs on four hits in just one inning during Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals. While the right-hander didn't walk anyone and tossed 15 of 21 pitches for strikes, he failed to record a strikeout and uncorked a wild pitch. Cabrera also had trouble hitting his spots, leaving too many pitches over the heart of the plate. The Marlins are counting on Cabrera to take a step forward in 2025 and become a reliable rotation arm, but over parts of four big-league seasons he's never finished with a walk rate below 11.3 percent, and without better control and command his impressive raw stuff isn't going to translate into consistent results.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Drawing raves from new skipper

    New Marlins manager Clayton McCullough believes Cabrera can take a big step forward this season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. The 26-year-old has never been lacking in raw arm talent and has struck out 225 batters in 196 innings over the last two seasons, but Cabrera's shaky control and command have been the main thing holding him back so far during his big-league career, along with an inability to stay healthy. Despite McCullough's enthusiasm, it's hard to get too excited about Cabrera as a fantasy asset given his 4.95 ERA, 4.68 FIP and 1.40 HR/9 in 2024, but the Marlins are in dire need of quality innings and the right-hander is locked into a rotation spot as long as he can avoid another trip to the IL.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Settles with Miami

    The Marlins and Cabrera avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Cabrera qualified for Super 2 status and will avoid an arbitration hearing. Still trying to find consistency at the major-league level, the right-hander held a 4.95 ERA and 107:50 K:BB over 96.1 innings this past season.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Notches no-decision Wednesday

    Cabrera allowed three runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out five batters over five innings in a no-decision against Minnesota on Wednesday. Cabrera's own error led to two unearned runs in the third inning, and he served up a solo shot to Byron Buxton in the fourth. The most impressive part of the right-hander's outing was his 16 swinging strikes, though they led to a modest five punchouts. Cabrera didn't get the win, but this was a vast improvement over his previous start, when he gave up seven runs over 2.1 frames against the Dodgers.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Blasted in loss

    Cabrera (4-8) took the loss Thursday, allowing seven runs on four hits and five walks over 2.1 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out three. Cabrera allowed single runs in each of the first two innings, then lost his control in the third, tossing just 10 of 26 pitches for strikes while allowing a single, three walks and hitting a batter prior to being pulled with one out in the inning. Five total runs crossed in the frame, all charged to Cabrera. He entered the game having given up just one earned run over his previous three starts but ran into a buzzsaw Thursday. Cabrera is tentatively slated to make one more start this season, set to take place when the Marlins travel to Minnesota to take on the Twins.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Fans nine in loss

    Cabrera (4-7) allowed two unearned runs on one hit and one walk over six innings Friday, striking out nine and taking a loss against Washington. Cabrera's own error contributed to a two-run first inning, but he settling in for a dominant outing. He racked up nine punchouts for the first time since May 2 and generated 16 whiffs, including seven with his changeup. Cabrera has produced an 18:4 K:BB while allowing only one earned run over his last 18.1 innings. Since returning from the injured list in July, he's registered a 3.72 ERA, lowering his season mark to 4.55 through 89 innings. Cabrera is currently in line for a home matchup against the Dodgers next week.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Cleared to start Sunday

    Cabrera (head) is slated to start Sunday's game against the Phillies in Miami. Cabrera had initially been in line to start Friday versus Philadelphia, but he was scratched approximately 70 minutes before the opening pitch after reporting migraine-like symptoms. The Marlins instead opted for an impromptu bullpen day while Cabrera was briefly hospitalized due to the issue but quickly released. After rejoining the Marlins on Saturday, Cabrera is apparently feeling much better and will now end up taking the hill for the series finale as a replacement for Max Meyer, who was placed on the injured list with shoulder bursitis.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Could be available Sunday

    Cabrera (migraine) could be available to start Sunday against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Cabrera was scratched from his scheduled start Friday due to migraines, and he spent a brief period of time in the hospital. He was discharged and cleared, leaving him with a chance to resume throwing Saturday. Even if Cabrera isn't available to pitch Sunday, he should be available to start at some point in the coming days.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Scratched with migraine

    Cabrera was unable to make his start Friday due to a migraine, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports. The team didn't initially announce why it had scratched Cabrera, and it's unclear when he might rejoin the rotation. The right-hander has a 5.33 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 84:42 K:BB in 76 innings this season.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Scratched from start

    Cabrera (undisclosed) has been scratched from Friday's start against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. It's unclear why Cabrera was removed, but Austin Kitchen will start in his place. Cabrera is 3-6 over 16 starts this season with a 5.33 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 84:42 K:BB across 76 innings.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Picks up third win

    Cabrera (3-6) earned the win over the Giants on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings while striking out three. Cabrera was shaky early on, issuing two walks in the first inning while needing 28 pitches to get through the frame. The right-hander was still able to get through the inning unscathed, however, and managed to keep the Giants off the scoreboard until the bottom of the fifth when he surrendered back-to-back hits with one out, followed by an RBI groundout from Mike Yastrzemski. Cabrera was then relieved by Xzavion Curry with two outs in the sixth, narrowly missing out on his fourth quality start of the season. The 26-year-old had a decent August, pitching to the tune of a 3.58 ERA while going 2-3. However, he's now issued multiple walks in nine consecutive starts and has posted three or fewer strikeouts in three of his last four.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Strikes out eight batters in loss

    Cabrera (2-6) took the loss against Colorado on Monday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out eight batters over 5.1 innings. Cabrera had his swing-and-miss stuff working, as he induced 18 whiffs en route to eight punchouts. The right-hander got through four frames without giving up a run but faltered late in his outing, yielding two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth before departing. Cabrera ended up with his third straight loss, and he also walked multiple batters for his eighth consecutive start. He has a healthy 81 strikeouts over 70.2 innings this season, but Cabrera has also issued 40 free passes, and his 5.09 BB/9 is second-worst in the league among pitchers who have thrown at least 70 frames.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Logs quality start in loss

    Cabrera (2-5) took the loss against Arizona on Tuesday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks with three strikeouts across six innings. Cabrera battled but allowed nine hard-hit balls while generating just two swinging strikes on 90 pitches. Still, the 26-year-old put a six-run outing Wednesday behind him and has posted two quality starts and two scoreless efforts in four August appearances. On the year, he owns a 5.65 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 73:38 K:BB across 65.1 innings and lines up for risky matchup at Coors Field next week.

  • Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Fans eight in win

    Cabrera (2-3) picked up the win Sunday against Atlanta, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out eight in five scoreless innings. Cabrera did not allow an earned run for the first time this season, striking out eight batters to earn his first win since April 21. The 26-year-old has righted the ship over his past four starts, logging a 2.70 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 22:13 K:BB across 20 innings. Cabrera owns an impressive 11.9 K/9, but his ugly 5.96 ERA and 1.49 WHIP make him a highly volatile fantasy option. He is currently scheduled to face the Padres next weekend.
