Cabrera will make his MLB debut Sunday in a start against the Twins, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
This news confirms what was speculated Saturday, when Arizona added Cabrera to its taxi squad. The Diamondbacks are in need of starters after placing Ryne Nelson (elbow) and Michael Soroka (glute) on the injured list. Cabrera features a six-pitch mix, per Diamondbacks farm director Chris Slivka, and the 6-foot-3 right-hander has improved his command and control while upping his strikeout rate from 19.8 percent in 2025 to 28.7 percent this year in 12 starts (nine at Double-A Amarillo and three for Reno).

Diamondbacks' Jose Cabrera: MLB debut likely on tap Sunday
Rotowire
Cabrera joined the Diamondbacks' taxi squad Saturday and could be called up from Triple-A Reno to start Sunday's game against the Twins in Arizona, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
The Diamondbacks' pitching staff has been hit hard by injuries lately, losing Ryne Nelson (elbow) and Michael Soroka (glute) to the injured list in just the past two days. With multiple spots in the rotation for the team to fill, Cabrera's addition to the taxi squad suggests that he'll be the choice to start Sunday's game against the Twins. It would mark the 24-year-old's MLB debut, an opportunity he earned by posting a 3.69 ERA and 1.03 WHIP alongside a 64:16 K:BB in 61 innings across 12 starts (nine at Double-A Amarillo, three at Triple-A).
