• Diamondbacks' Mauricio Cabrera: Signs minors deal with Diamondbacks

  01/21/2020 • By RotoWire

  Cabrera signed with the Diamondbacks as a non-roster invitee Tuesday. Cabrera recorded a strong 2.82 ERA in his 38.1-inning debut back in 2016 but hasn't been seen in the majors since, due to a combination of elbow issues and poor performance. In 48.0 innings for Double-A Birmingham in the White Sox's system last year, he recorded a 4.50 ERA and a very poor 19.1 percent walk rate.

• Mauricio Cabrera: Released by Atlanta

  07/11/2018 • By RotoWire

  Cabrera was cut loose by the Braves on Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Cabrera hadn't appeared in a major-league game since 2016, when he tossed 38.1 innings with the Braves. Over 31 appearances with High-A Florida this season, he had logged a disastrous 11.03 ERA and 2.71 WHIP over 31 innings of relief. He will look to latch on with another organization, though it's unlikely that we will see Cabrera back on a big-league mound in 2018.

• Braves' Mauricio Cabrera: Outrighted to Triple-A

  02/21/2018 • By RotoWire

  Cabrera was sent to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday after clearing waivers. Cabrera was removed from the 40-man roster to make room for new signee Peter Moylan. The 24-year-old flamethrower struggled to a 6.49 ERA in 43 innings split between the three highest levels of the minors last year, walking more batters (45) than he struck out (38). His triple-digit fastball could eventually be a major-league weapon, but he'll need to have some idea where it's going in order to win a roster spot.

• Braves' Mauricio Cabrera: Activated, sent to Triple-A

  05/07/2017 • By RotoWire

  Cabrera (elbow) was activated from the disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports. Cabrera has the tools to pitch in high-leverage situations one day, but he needs to work on his command, which was an issue even before the ailment. Until he can tune up his control, the hard-throwing right-hander will remain in the minors.
