EDWARD CABRERA NEWS

Promoted to Triple-A Cabrera was assigned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Impact The right-handed prospect is finally up at Triple-A, where he would have began his season if not for right biceps inflammation. Cabrera's most recent start at Double-A Pensacola was his worst, as he allowed four runs in 5.2 innings. He did fan seven batters for his second consecutive start, though. Cabrera made five starts for Pensacola, posting a 2.77 ERA with 33 strikeouts in 26 innings. It remains to be seen whether the hard-throwing 23-year-old will get any action with the Marlins this year, as he could remain in Jacksonville to continue developing during what doesn't figure to be a contending season for the big-league club.

Working at Double-A for now Cabrera (biceps) made his fourth start for Double-A Pensacola on Tuesday, working five innings and giving up two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out seven.

Impact Heading into spring training, Cabrera appeared on track to open the season as a member of the Triple-A Jacksonville rotation, but right biceps inflammation nixed those plans. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in early June, and after two outings at Low-A Jupiter, Cabrera was ultimately reassigned from Jacksonville to Pensacola. Through his four outings at Pensacola, Cabrera owns an impressive 1.77 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and a 26:5 K:BB In 20.1 innings, so a move up to Triple-A could be coming in the near future.

Impact Cabrera was making the third appearance of his rehab assignment and his first with Pensacola after having made his prior two starts at Low-A Jupiter.

Pitching again Friday Cabrera (biceps) will make another rehab start for Low-A Jupiter on Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Makes 2021 debut at Low-A Cabrera (biceps) pitched three scoreless innings in his 2021 debut Sunday for Low-A Jupiter, allowing two hits and no walks while striking out three over his 37-pitch outing.

Impact Cabrera still resides on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Jacksonville, but he may only need to make one or two more starts at a lower-level affiliate before he's formally added back to the active roster. The 23-year-old looked sharp in his first official game action of the season, pumping in 24 of his 37 pitches for strikes while permitting only a pair of singles on the day. Considered one of the top pitching prospects in the organization, Cabrera could get a look in the big leagues at some point after the All-Star break if he's able to string together a few quality outings at Triple-A once he completes his rehab assignment.

Pitches in extended spring game Cabrera (biceps) threw 35 pitches over two innings in an extended spring training game Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact After he faced hitters in live batting practice last week, Cabrera was expected to repeat the activity this week, but the Marlins opted to turn him loose in a controlled game setting instead. Assuming Cabrera's right biceps feels fine coming out of Tuesday's outing, the Marlins could begin to etch out a minor-league rehab assignment for the right-hander. Once he's built up his pitch count for starting duty, Cabrera will likely be included in the Triple-A Jacksonville rotation.

Ready for second live BP session Cabrera (biceps) is scheduled to throw a second live batting practice session later this week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Cabrera experienced no setbacks with his left arm after throwing 20 pitches against live hitters Saturday, so he'll repeat the activity again before potentially beginning a minor-league rehab assignment. The Marlins will likely have the 23-year-old build up his pitch count over at least a couple outings at the lower levels of the minors before he eventually settles into the rotation at Triple-A Jacksonville.

Not yet throwing Marlins general manager Kim Ng said Monday that Cabrera (biceps) has yet to resume a throwing program, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Shortly after reporting to spring training in mid-February, Cabrera was diagnosed with an inflamed nerve in his biceps and has been shut down ever since. The injury effectively ended Cabrera's long-shot bid for a spot in the Marlins' Opening Day rotation, and given that he has yet to throw a month later, he may not be ready to go when Triple-A Jacksonville begins its season in May. A clearer timeline for Cabrera's eventual 2021 debut should emerge once he eventually resumes throwing.
