Cabrera (6-7) took the loss Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing six runs (four earned) on 11 hits and a walk while striking out six in 4.1 innings.
Cabrera was pummeled for a career-worst 11 hits, though shockingly nothing he gave up went for extra bases, signaling he likely had some bad luck involved. Tuesday was his first time since May 19 that he allowed at least three earned runs in a start at home. Despite the rough outing, Cabrera still managed to record 17 whiffs, and he has an 11.4 K/9 over his last four starts. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which currently lines up for Monday against Atlanta.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Fans 11 in dominant start
Rotowire
Cabrera (6-5) earned the win, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out 11 over eight innings in Friday's victory over Atlanta.
Cabrera was nearly untouchable Friday, with his lone blemish coming on a solo home run from Jurickson Profar in the sixth inning. His 11 strikeouts were one shy of his career high, and the outing marked his third straight quality start. It was also just the second time in his MLB career that he's completed eight innings. The performance continued an impressive run since the start of July in which the right-hander has posted a 2.06 ERA with a 45:5 K:BB across 43.2 innings. Cabrera will look to build on this dominance when he takes the mound again for his next appearance, slated for next week against Cleveland.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Fans seven in win
Rotowire
Cabrera (5-5) allowed one run on two hits and a walk over six innings Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win against the Yankees.
Cabrera coughed up a leadoff shot to Trent Grisham to begin the contest but was lights-out after that. The Yankees did not put another runner in scoring position against Cabrera as he delivered his second consecutive quality start. His seven strikeouts were the most he has produced since punching out 10 against the Angels on May 25. He forced 15 whiffs on 94 total pitches, including eight with his curveball. Cabrera reached the 100-inning mark for the first time in his MLB career, and he's finally back to showing the potential he had as a highly rated prospect. His ERA is down to 3.24 with a 103:34 K:BB. Cabrera is expected to start in Atlanta next weekend.

Rotowire
Cabrera (4-5) took the loss Monday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks over six innings against the Cardinals. He struck out four.
Cabrera delivered a quality start Monday but took his fifth loss of the season due to a lack of run support. The outing capped off a strong month of July for the right-hander, who posted a 2.43 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over 29.2 innings across five starts. His average fastball velocity has climbed to 96.7 mph, matching the top speed he reached as a rookie in 2021.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Nabs W vs Padres
Rotowire
Cabrera (4-4) picked up the win Tuesday against San Diego, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with six strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
Cabrera was lifted from his last start before the All-Star break with elbow discomfort, but he didn't need to miss a start due to the issue. The 27-year-old threw 86 pitches in Tuesday's win and allowed two or fewer runs for the sixth time in seven starts. During that stretch, he has a 2.82 ERA and a 39:9 K:BB across 38.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Cardinals next time out.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Ready to start Tuesday
Rotowire
Cabrera (elbow) will start Tuesday's game against the Padres in Miami, MLB.com reports.
Cabrera experienced elbow discomfort during his final start before the All-Star break July 11 in Baltimore, but an MRI cleared him of any major damage, and he was able to throw without issue Thursday and Sunday. With the long layoff in the Marlins' schedule affording him ample time to recover, Cabrera is unlikely to be operating with any major workload restrictions Tuesday. Before giving up four earned runs in four innings in his most recent start, Cabrera permitted no more than two runs in any of his prior 11 outings and accrued a 2.11 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 60:19 K:BB in 59.2 innings during that stretch.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Not expected to miss start
Rotowire
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough is optimistic that Cabrera (elbow) will be part of the team's rotation coming out of the All-Star break, Mike Cugno of CBS Sports reports.
The right-hander was pulled from his most recent start Friday after four innings and 76 pitches due to elbow discomfort, but an MRI didn't reveal any structural damage. Cabrera heads into the break with a 3.61 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 86:30 K:BB through 82.1 innings.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Could avoid injured list
Rotowire
Cabrera received encouraging MRI results on his right elbow Sunday and may not require a trip to the injured list, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.
The right-hander exited his most recent start in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Orioles due to posterior right elbow discomfort, but follow-up testing doesn't appear to have revealed a significant injury. The All-Star break will provide Cabrera with some extra rest, though it's not yet clear if he'll be ready to take the mound when his turn in the rotation first comes up in the second half.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Leaves with elbow injury
Rotowire
Cabrera was removed from Friday's game against the Orioles with posterior elbow discomfort, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Cabrera's elbow injury limited him to just four innings Friday, during which he gave up four earned runs on eight hits while striking out six batters. He will presumably undergo tests to determine the nature/severity of his injury, at which point the Marlins may relay an update on his status.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Delivers scoreless outing
Rotowire
Cabrera (3-2) allowed two hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings Tuesday, striking out six and earning a win over Minnesota.
Cabrera gave up one extra-base hit and let only two runners reach scoring position during his impressive outing Tuesday. It was his third scoreless outing of the year and his first time completing at least seven frames. He tossed 58 of 93 pitches for strikes and forced 14 whiffs, including six each with his changeup and slider. Cabrera owns a 3.41 ERA with a 75:30 K:BB across 71.1 frames. He's produced a stellar 2.05 ERA in 52.2 innings since the start of May. Cabrera's next outing is lined up to be at home against the Brewers this weekend.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Lasts only three innings
Rotowire
Cabrera did not factor into Friday's decision against the Nationals, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out five across three innings.
Cabrera struck out five of the first seven batters he faced, but he appeared to tweak his ankle on first base in the third inning after colliding with Eric Wagaman. Cabrera was able to stay in the game, but he gave up a two-run home run to James Wood on the next at-bat and did not come out for the fourth despite tossing only 64 pitches (38 strikes). The Marlins didn't announce an injury, and assuming he's given the green light, Cabrera is slated to make his next start against the Phillies at home next week.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Early exit in Friday's loss
Rotowire
Cabrera (2-2) took the loss Friday as the Marlins were downed 4-3 by the Rays, giving up three runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out five.
The right-hander got lifted after only 63 pitches (41 strikes), his lightest workload of the season. While the early hook was unusual, Cabrera's inefficiency remains the biggest obstacle to a true breakout as he has yet to complete six innings in any of his 10 trips to the mound. He'll take a 3.99 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 53:21 K:BB through 49.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend against the Nationals.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Shines again in victory
Rotowire
Cabrera (2-1) earned the win over San Francisco on Saturday, allowing six hits and issuing three walks while striking out five batters over 5.2 scoreless innings.
Though Cabrera allowed 10 baserunners (including one who reached on an error), none of the hits against him went for extra bases. The right-hander was pulled after issuing a two-out walk followed by a single in the sixth inning to prevent him from notching a quality start, but this was another promising May outing after Cabrera struggled mightily in April. He finished that month with a 7.23 ERA over four starts, but he's since brought that number down to a tolerable 4.14 by allowing three or fewer runs in five straight appearances. Cabrera has been especially effective in his past two starts, tossing 11.1 scoreless frames while compiling a 15:5 K:BB. He'll look to remain on a roll in his next start, which lines up to be a road matchup against Tampa Bay.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Fans seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Cabrera did not factor into the decision in Monday's 8-7 win over the Cubs, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out seven.
The Miami right-hander returned from a nail injury to make his first start since May 10. Cabrera showed no ill effects of the injury and generated a solid 15 whiffs out of 90 total pitches. All of the runs he conceded came on one swing of the bat when he yielded a three-run homer to Miguel Amaya in the fourth. Through 34.1 innings, Cabrera now sports a 5.50 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB. He is currently slated to make his next start at the Angels this weekend.

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: 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: 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.
