Cabrera (elbow) will make his second rehab start with Double-A Pensacola on Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera is expected to work four innings Friday after he covered three perfect frames in his initial outing for Pensacola on July 16. The right-hander has been on the shelf since mid-June with elbow tendinitis and may need one additional rehab outing beyond Friday before coming off the 15-day injured list. It's unclear if the Marlins will have room in the rotation for Cabrera once he's ready to return, as fellow starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo (forearm) is also trending toward coming off the IL in the final week of July or in early August.

Cabrera (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Pensacola on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera has been out for a month with right elbow tendinitis. He was originally scheduled to make a rehab start in late June, but wound up delayed for a few weeks due to a personal matter. If he winds up making two rehab starts, he'll likely return during the final week of July.

Cabrera (elbow) tossed a two-inning live batting practice session Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins will likely assess Cabrera's condition Tuesday before deciding whether he's ready to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment. Since he's been on the injured list since June 15 with right elbow tendinitis, Cabrera will presumably require two starts in the minors before being activated from the IL, likely at some point shortly after the All-Star break.

Cabrera (elbow) completed a 25-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera was placed on the 15-day injured list June 15 with right elbow tendinitis, but it's been a personal matter rather than the elbow issue that has delayed his return to the active roster. The right-hander had been scheduled to start for Triple-A Jacksonville on June 22 before leaving the affiliate to address the personal situation. Cabrera's ability to complete a bullpen session suggests he's put the personal issue behind him, but he'll still need to ramp up a little more before the Marlins lock him in for another rehab start. The 24-year-old doesn't look as though he'll have enough time to make it back from the IL before the All-Star break.

Cabrera (elbow) didn't make his rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Jacksonville as originally planned after he had to tend to a personal matter, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins don't believe Cabrera will be away from the Triple-A club for more than a day or two, but his timeline for rejoining the big-league roster will be delayed a bit after he missed out on the rehab start. if Cabrera is ready to make a start for Jacksonville this weekend, he could still be a candidate to return from the 15-day injured list at some point next week.

Cabrera (elbow) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance Wednesday for Triple-A Jacksonville, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera will take the mound 10 days after making his last start with the Marlins and subsequently being placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow tightness. In light of his quick return to game action, Cabrera may need only one rehab start before getting the green light to rejoin the Miami rotation as soon as next week's series in St. Louis. Braxton Garrett or Daniel Castano will lose out on a rotation spot once Cabrera is formally reinstated from the IL.

Cabrera was placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow tendinitis Wednesday, retroactive to June 13, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera struggled during Sunday's start against the Astros, as he gave up five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two in 3.2 innings to take his first loss of the season. It's possible his injury played a role in his lackluster results, and he'll be forced to miss at least two weeks. Daniel Castano was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Wednesday's game against the Phillies, and he'll likely have a chance to remain in the rotation while Cabrera is sidelined.

Cabrera (2-1) took the loss Sunday versus the Astros. He allowed five runs on seven hits, three walks and a hit batter with two strikeouts in 3.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera cruised through six innings in each of his first two starts, but those came against the Rockies and the Nationals. The Astros presented a much firmer challenge, and the 24-year-old was pulled after running into trouble in the fourth inning Sunday. He's at a 3.45 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB across 15.2 innings, with the free passes continuing to be the most concerning aspect on his stat line. He'll look to get back on track in a road start versus the Mets next week, and Cabrera's place in the rotation should be safe until at least one of Cody Poteet (elbow) or Jesus Luzardo (forearm) can return, which is still likely weeks away.

Cabrera (2-0) picked up the win in Tuesday's 12-2 rout of the Nationals, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander wasn't dominant, but he took a shutout into the sixth inning before Luis Garcia tagged him for a solo shot. Cabrera has been fairly impressive in two starts since joining the Marlins' rotation, and while his six walks in 12 innings needs some work, it's balanced out by 13 whiffs and only three hits allowed.

Cabrera is scheduled to make his next start Tuesday against the Nationals in Miami.
EDGE Analysis
The matchup with the 21-35 Nationals at LoanDepot Park is a far more favorable draw for Cabrera than last week, when he was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to start the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Rockies at Coors Field. Though he issued four walks and hit two batters in the outing, Cabrera more than earned a second turn through the rotation after striking out nine and allowing only one hit over 6.1 scoreless frames. With both Jesus Luzardo (forearm) and Cody Poteet (elbow) on the 15-day injured list and facing unclear return timelines, Cabrera should be in good shape to hold down a back-end rotation spot beyond Tuesday's outing.
