Falters against Phillies Cabrera (2-4) took the loss against Philadelphia on Wednesday, allowing six runs on six hits and four walks while striking out two batters over four innings.
Impact Cabrera was handed an early 3-0 lead but couldn't hold it. The big blow against him was a Kyle Schwarber grand slam in the fourth inning that turned a three-run lead into a one-run deficit. Cabrera had been pitching well coming into Wednesday, posting 12 scoreless innings over his previous two starts. However, walks have been an issue for him this season -- he's issued multiple free passes in 10 of his 13 starts and has handed out 35 walks across 59.1 frames overall. It's an issue that has plagued Cabrera throughout his career, as he has posted a BB/9 lower than 5.0 in just one of his four MLB campaigns.

Strong start wasted Friday Cabrera came away with a no-decision in Friday's 6-2 extra-inning loss to the Padres, allowing four hits and three walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out four.
Impact The right-hander extended his shutout streak to 12 innings as he fired 64 of 106 pitches for strikes, but the Miami bullpen squandered a 2-0 lead as soon as Cabrera left the mound. Control remains an issue for the 26-year-old, but he's been able to work around the traffic he puts on the basepaths -- Cabrera has given up three runs or less in five straight starts, posting a 2.00 ERA over that stretch despite a less impressive 1.26 WHIP and 26:16 K:BB in 27 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend against the Mets.

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.
Impact 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.

Impact Cabrera had to be removed from Tuesday's start versus the Rays in the sixth inning after tweaking the knee while covering first base earlier in the contest. However, it sounds like the big right-hander will be fine. Cabrera has put up a 6.65 ERA over 10 starts with Miami this season.

Injures knee Tuesday Cabrera was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rays due to a knee injury, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Cabrera suffered the injury while covering first base and was pulled two pitches into the sixth inning. He's slated to undergo imaging Wednesday, at which point a clearer picture regarding his status for his next start will emerge. Prior to his removal, the 26-year-old gave up two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven batters.

He's slated to undergo imaging Wednesday, at which point a clearer picture regarding his status for his next start will emerge. Prior to his removal, the 26-year-old gave up two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven batters.

Wild again Wednesday Cabrera allowed three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Wednesday.
Impact Cabrera yielded only three hits -- all singles -- but put four batters on base on free passes. Three of those walks went to the final eight hitters he faced, and the right-hander ran out of steam in the sixth after getting through five frames without allowing a run. Cabrera departed in the sixth with the bases loaded after letting three straight batters get aboard, and all three of those runners later came around to score. Cabrera walked five men in his previous start, so he has now issued nine free passes over 10 innings across his past two appearances. That isn't a recipe for success, though he's managed to keep afloat by yielding a manageable four earned runs over that span.

Control issues in no-decision Cabrera came away with a no-decision in Friday's 6-4 win over the Mets, giving up two runs (one earned) on five hits and five walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out one.
Impact The right-hander got only 40 of his 81 pitches over the plate, and even though the Marlins staked him to a 4-0 lead by the end of the third inning, Cabrera couldn't stick around long enough to qualify for a win. He had posted an 11:1 K:BB in his last two starts before the All-Star break, but the time off appears to have cost Cabrera his feel for the strike zone. He also got taken deep by Jeff McNeil on Friday, and Cabrera's served up nine homers in only 33 innings this season, contributing to his bloated 7.36 ERA and 1.67 WHIP despite a career-high 28.1 percent strikeout rate. He remains a very volatile fantasy option heading into his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Orioles.

Impact Spencer Steer, Rece Hinds, Elly De La Cruz and Jeimer Candelario all went yard against Cabrera in a nine-batter span. If there's a silver lining, it's the 7:0 K:BB and the fact that Cabrera induced 10 whiffs on 63 pitches. Still, he now has an 8.26 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in seven starts this season, with nine earned runs allowed over seven innings in two starts since his return from a shoulder injury. He has strikeout upside but is an extremely risky play in fantasy.

Fans four in return Cabrera yielded two runs on four hits and a walk in a no-decision Sunday. He struck out four during Miami's win over the White Sox.
Impact Cabrera made his first MLB appearance since May 7 after a two-month stint on the IL due to a shoulder issue. He looked solid through three scoreless frames before coughing up a two-run homer to Danny Mendick in the fourth inning. Cabrera walked just one batter but struggled to command the strike zone, throwing just 47 of 82 pitches for strikes. He's now sporting a 6.84 ERA with a 35:15 K:BB through 25 innings. Cabrera's next outing is projected to be in Cincinnati.

Impact Cabrera will pick up his first start with the Marlins since May 7 after missing two months while recovering from a right shoulder impingement. Prior to being activated, Cabrera completed three rehab starts with Triple-A Jacksonville. Though he covered no more than four innings in any of those outings, he topped out at 67 pitches in his most recent rehab start this past Sunday, so he shouldn't face any major restrictions with his workload as he takes the hill for the big club. Cabrera went 1-2 with a 7.17 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB across 21.1 innings in five starts before landing on the IL.

Impact The Marlins said previously that Cabrera would make one more rehab start. However, the club has an opening in its rotation Sunday after optioning Valente Bellozo and that's the first day Cabrera is eligible for activation. Cabrera -- who has been out since early May with a right shoulder impingement -- has posted a 4.50 ERA and 15:4 K:BB over 10 innings in three rehab starts. He would be relatively limited from a pitch count perspective Sunday after throwing 67 pitches in his last rehab start.
