Edward Cabrera

Injuries and command woes continued to hold Cabrera back in 2023. He missed over a month with a right shoulder impingement and was optioned shortly after his return from the injured list to work on better commanding his pitches. Cabrera returned from the minors to go 2-1 with a 2.38 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 25:14 K:BB in his final five appearances, with only one home run allowed in 22.2 innings. When he's on, Cabrera can flash brilliance with his three primary pitches -- changeup, four-seamer, curveball. He has a career walk rate of 14 percent but also a career 26.2 percent strikeout rate. His surge at the end of the season may reignite interest among drafters, but Cabrera remains a health and performance risk. As he approaches his 26th birthday in April, the right-hander has only twice exceeded 100 innings in seven professional seasons. He projects to be in the Marlins' rotation, but another injury or prolonged fit of wildness could force a move to the bullpen full time. Read Past Outlooks
