Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Notches no-decision Wednesday
Rotowire
Cabrera allowed three runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out five batters over five innings in a no-decision against Minnesota on Wednesday.
Cabrera's own error led to two unearned runs in the third inning, and he served up a solo shot to Byron Buxton in the fourth. The most impressive part of the right-hander's outing was his 16 swinging strikes, though they led to a modest five punchouts. Cabrera didn't get the win, but this was a vast improvement over his previous start, when he gave up seven runs over 2.1 frames against the Dodgers.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Blasted in loss
Rotowire
Cabrera (4-8) took the loss Thursday, allowing seven runs on four hits and five walks over 2.1 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out three.
Cabrera allowed single runs in each of the first two innings, then lost his control in the third, tossing just 10 of 26 pitches for strikes while allowing a single, three walks and hitting a batter prior to being pulled with one out in the inning. Five total runs crossed in the frame, all charged to Cabrera. He entered the game having given up just one earned run over his previous three starts but ran into a buzzsaw Thursday. Cabrera is tentatively slated to make one more start this season, set to take place when the Marlins travel to Minnesota to take on the Twins.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Fans nine in loss
Rotowire
Cabrera (4-7) allowed two unearned runs on one hit and one walk over six innings Friday, striking out nine and taking a loss against Washington.

He racked up nine punchouts for the first time since May 2 and generated 16 whiffs, including seven with his changeup. Cabrera has produced an 18:4 K:BB while allowing only one earned run over his last 18.1 innings. Since returning from the injured list in July, he's registered a 3.72 ERA, lowering his season mark to 4.55 through 89 innings. Cabrera is currently in line for a home matchup against the Dodgers next week.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Earns win with seven strong innings
Rotowire
Cabrera (4-6) earned the win Sunday, allowing three hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings against the Phillies. He struck out six.
Cabrera shut down a potent Phillies lineup, allowing only four baserunners through seven shutout innings. He was initially slated to start Friday's contest, but a migraine pushed his start back to Sunday and Cabrera delivered a quality performance. It was the second time in the last month that Cabrera has completed seven scoreless innings and the eighth time in his last nine starts that he's tossed at least five innings while allowing three or fewer runs. Cabrera will look to continue his strong close to the season when he takes on the Nationals in Washington.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Cleared to start Sunday
Rotowire
Cabrera (head) is slated to start Sunday's game against the Phillies in Miami.
Cabrera had initially been in line to start Friday versus Philadelphia, but he was scratched approximately 70 minutes before the opening pitch after reporting migraine-like symptoms. The Marlins instead opted for an impromptu bullpen day while Cabrera was briefly hospitalized due to the issue but quickly released. After rejoining the Marlins on Saturday, Cabrera is apparently feeling much better and will now end up taking the hill for the series finale as a replacement for Max Meyer, who was placed on the injured list with shoulder bursitis.

Cabrera (migraine) could be available to start Sunday against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Cabrera was scratched from his scheduled start Friday due to migraines, and he spent a brief period of time in the hospital. He was discharged and cleared, leaving him with a chance to resume throwing Saturday. Even if Cabrera isn't available to pitch Sunday, he should be available to start at some point in the coming days.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Scratched with migraine
Rotowire
Cabrera was unable to make his start Friday due to a migraine, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
The team didn't initially announce why it had scratched Cabrera, and it's unclear when he might rejoin the rotation. The right-hander has a 5.33 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 84:42 K:BB in 76 innings this season.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Picks up third win
Rotowire
Cabrera (3-6) earned the win over the Giants on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings while striking out three.
Cabrera was shaky early on, issuing two walks in the first inning while needing 28 pitches to get through the frame. The right-hander was still able to get through the inning unscathed, however, and managed to keep the Giants off the scoreboard until the bottom of the fifth when he surrendered back-to-back hits with one out, followed by an RBI groundout from Mike Yastrzemski. Cabrera was then relieved by Xzavion Curry with two outs in the sixth, narrowly missing out on his fourth quality start of the season. The 26-year-old had a decent August, pitching to the tune of a 3.58 ERA while going 2-3. However, he's now issued multiple walks in nine consecutive starts and has posted three or fewer strikeouts in three of his last four.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Strikes out eight batters in loss
Rotowire
Cabrera (2-6) took the loss against Colorado on Monday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out eight batters over 5.1 innings.
Cabrera had his swing-and-miss stuff working, as he induced 18 whiffs en route to eight punchouts. The right-hander got through four frames without giving up a run but faltered late in his outing, yielding two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth before departing. Cabrera ended up with his third straight loss, and he also walked multiple batters for his eighth consecutive start. He has a healthy 81 strikeouts over 70.2 innings this season, but Cabrera has also issued 40 free passes, and his 5.09 BB/9 is second-worst in the league among pitchers who have thrown at least 70 frames.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Logs quality start in loss
Rotowire
Cabrera (2-5) took the loss against Arizona on Tuesday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks with three strikeouts across six innings.
Cabrera battled but allowed nine hard-hit balls while generating just two swinging strikes on 90 pitches. Still, the 26-year-old put a six-run outing Wednesday behind him and has posted two quality starts and two scoreless efforts in four August appearances. On the year, he owns a 5.65 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 73:38 K:BB across 65.1 innings and lines up for risky matchup at Coors Field next week.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Falters against Phillies
Rotowire
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.
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.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Strong start wasted Friday
Rotowire
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.
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.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Fans eight in win
Rotowire
Cabrera (2-3) picked up the win Sunday against Atlanta, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out eight in five scoreless innings.
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.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Injures knee Tuesday
Rotowire
Cabrera was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rays due to a knee injury, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Cabrera reportedly tweaked his left knee while covering first base in the fifth inning, causing him to be pulled two pitches into the sixth frame. 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.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Control issues in no-decision
Rotowire
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.
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 volatile fantasy option heading into his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Orioles.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Rocked in Cincinnati
Rotowire
Cabrera (1-3) took the loss to the Reds on Saturday after allowing seven runs on six hits -- including four home runs -- over 3.1 innings. He struck out seven without issuing a walk.
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.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Fans four in return
Rotowire
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.
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.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Back from IL, starting Sunday
Rotowire
The Marlins reinstated Cabrera (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list, and he'll start Sunday's series finale versus the White Sox in Miami, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
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.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Could return Sunday
Rotowire
Cabrera (shoulder) was spotted in the Marlins' clubhouse Thursday and could be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday versus the White Sox, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
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 outing.
