Cabrera (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Jupiter on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera has been on the shelf since June 17 with a right shoulder impingement, and he now seems to be nearing the end of his recovery process. It's unclear how many starts he'll make while on assignment, but odds are Cabrera returns before the end of July.

Cabrera (shoulder) threw a 22-pitch bullpen session Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera only used his fastball during the workout, but he told reporters afterward that he felt "super great." On the shelf since June 17 because of a right shoulder impingement, the 25-year-old is trending toward a return to the Marlins' rotation shortly after the All-Star break.

The Marlins placed Cabrera on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder impingement, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera had a tough time during his last start Tuesday against Seattle, allowing five runs over four innings and taking the loss. His injury will force him to miss multiple turns through the Marlins' rotation, and it's unclear if he will require longer than a minimum IL stint. Huascar Brazoban was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Cabrera (5-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Mariners, allowing five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over four innings.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera allowed home runs in the second and fourth innings, with both coming after leadoff walks. His control issues have always been his Achilles' heel, though he has been better with 11 walks over his last 31.2 innings after walking 30 batters in 35.1 innings through his first eight starts. For the year, the 25-year-old owns a 4.70 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 84 strikeouts in 67 innings. He lines up to face Toronto at home next week.

Cabrera (hand) is listed as the Marlins' scheduled starter for Tuesday's game in Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera looks to be good to go after his most recent start June 7 against the Royals was cut short after five innings due to a blister on his pitching hand. The young right-hander has struggled to rein in walks (14.0 BB%) this season, but thanks to a 29.4 percent strikeout rate and 53.3 percent groundball rate, he's been able to maintain a serviceable 4.29 ERA through 13 starts.

Cabrera departed Wednesday's start against the Royals due to a blister on his right hand, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. He allowed one run on two hits and two walks over five innings before exiting.
EDGE Analysis
Marlins manager Skip Schumaker and the team's trainer checked on Cabrera prior to the sixth inning before walking off the field with the righty. Cabrera struck out four batters and threw 65 pitches over his five frames before being lifted. More clarity on his status for his next start should be available in the coming days.

Cabrera (4-4) earned the win Friday, allowing four hits and one walk across six scoreless innings in a 4-0 win over the Athletics. He struck out 10.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera took advantage of a favorable matchup and recorded double-digit strikeouts for the second time this year while posting his first scoreless outing. The right-hander's 4.50 ERA and 1.43 WHIP aren't enticing, but he's struck out 76 batters over his first 58 innings, giving him a stellar 11.8 K/9 (fifth best in MLB). Cabrera will look to build off his strong start next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for the finale of a three-game set versus Kansas City.

Cabrera allowed three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera came up an out short of his third quality start, but this was far from a good performance. Walks continue to be an issue for the right-hander, who has issued at least four free passes in six of his 11 outings this season. He's now at a 5.02 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 66:35 K:BB through 52 innings. Cabrera is lined up for a favorable home start versus the Athletics next week.

Cabrera (3-4) allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings, but he took the loss Monday versus the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera's last start was cut short by a blister on his right middle finger, but he was able to work past it over the last few days to start on schedule. He pitched fairly well Monday, throwing 51 of 89 pitches for strikes, but it was a sixth-inning solo shot by Elias Diaz that sent Cabrera to his first loss in three starts. The right-hander has completed six frames just twice in his 10 outings this season, posting a 5.05 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 61:31 K:BB over 46.1 innings. That walk rate will continue to put a damper on his other numbers, but he's yet to have a truly disastrous start this year. He's lined up for a road start versus the Angels over the weekend.

Cabrera left Wednesday's win over the Nationals after only 79 pitches due to a blister developing on his right middle finger, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was putting together his best performance of the season, giving up two runs on five hits over five innings with six strikeouts to record his third win. It was the first time in his career Cabrera had lasted at least five innings without walking a batter, making the early exit that much tougher to swallow. He generated 18 swinging strikes, including nine against his changeup. "There were a lot of lefties in the lineup," Cabrera said after the game. "The plan was to attack them with the changeup inside, the curveball outside and the fastball up. That was the plan, and it worked today." Cabrera's next turn in the rotation is set to come early next week in Coors Field, so his fantasy GMs will likely be rooting for the blister to cause the Marlins to skip him, or at least delay his next outing until the team leaves Colorado.
