Diamondbacks' Jose Cabrera: Contract selected for MLB debut
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks selected Cabrera's contract from Triple-A Reno to start Sunday's game versus the Twins.
It will be the big-league debut for the 24-year-old righty, who has pitched well between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this year with a 3.69 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 64:16 K:BB over 61 innings. Recent injuries sustained by Michael Soroka (lower body) and Ryne Nelson (elbow) could provide an opening for Cabrera to get an extended look in the rotation, especially if he acquits himself well in his MLB debut.

Diamondbacks' Jose Cabrera: MLB debut on tap
Rotowire
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).
