Cabrera won't be called up to start Tuesday against the Rockies as previously reported, as the game has been postponed due to rain, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Wednesday. Cabrera will likely be called upon to start one of those two games, though the Marlins have yet to announce their plans.

Cabrera will be called up by the Marlins early this week and will likely start Tuesday against the Rockies, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera missed the start of the regular season due to a biceps injury, but he joined Triple-A Jacksonville in early May and posted a 4.56 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 23.2 innings over five starts. The 24-year-old made his major-league debut for Miami last year and recorded a 5.81 ERA, 28:19 K:BB and 1.63 WHIP in 26.1 innings over seven starts. Cabrera has dealt with various injuries in recent years but will now get another chance to prove himself in the big-league rotation.

Cabrera struck out 11 batters over six innings Friday for Triple-A Jacksonville, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and one walk.
EDGE Analysis
The innings and whiffs were both season highs for the 24-year-old right-hander, and the outing came while Max Meyer (elbow) was on the shelf with ulnar nerve irritation. If the Marlins decide to open a spot in the big-league rotation within the next couple weeks, Cabrera appears to be ready for the assignment.

Cabrera gave up three hits and a walk while striking out six over five scoreless innings for Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old right-hander had a delayed start to the season due to a biceps strain, but after walking four batters in four innings during his first outing for Jacksonville on Tuesday, Cabrera looked much sharper in his second turn. The Marlins' No. 4 fantasy prospect could be an option to help the big club over the summer if he can stay healthy, but Max Meyer seems more likely to get the first crack at a rotation spot if one opens up.

The Marlins transferred Cabrera (biceps) from Single-A Jupiter to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He's scheduled to make his 2022 Triple-A debut Tuesday against Memphis. After being slowed in the spring by a biceps issue, Cabrera opened the season on Jacksonville's 7-day injured list before heading to Single-A Jupiter for a rehab assignment. He looked sharp in his lone start at Jupiter on April 27, striking out seven over four scoreless frames while allowing one hit and issuing three walks.

Cabrera (biceps) will be activated from the 7-day injured list Thursday to make a start for Low-A Jupiter in the affiliate's game against St. Lucie, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins optioned Cabrera to Low-A coming out of spring training so he could conduct his rehab program for his biceps injury at the team's facility, which is also located in Jupiter. As a result, Cabrera's outing Thursday won't be considered a rehab assignment, even though he's eventually expected to move into the rotation at Triple-A Jacksonville. Cabrera ended up making seven late-season starts for the Marlins in 2021, and once he's fully ramped up at Triple-A, he'll likely profile as the next man up to step into the big-league rotation if the Marlins require another starter.

Cabrera (biceps) tossed a 20-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera currently resides on the 7-day injured list of Low-A Jupiter, but his assignment to the low-level affiliate is likely just related to the Marlins' spring facility being located in Jupiter. The Marlins may have Cabrera make a rehab start at Jupiter once he's deemed ready for game action, though the 24-year-old is eventually expected to settle into the rotation at Triple-A Jacksonville once activated from the IL. Cabrera finished the 2021 campaign in the big-league rotation and should be one of the top candidates for a promotion if the Marlins should lose a starting pitcher at any point this season.

Cabrera (biceps) is on the 7-day injured list at Low-A Jupiter and resumed a throwing progression Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Cabrera would likely be at Triple-A Jacksonville if he were fully healthy, general manager Kim Ng said it would be easier for him to be monitored by a number of the Marlins' different medical professionals if he were stationed in Jupiter. Cabrera also dealt with a biceps issue last spring.

Cabrera (biceps) was placed on the minor-league injured list Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is concerning news, not only because it is an arm injury, but also because Cabrera had a biceps issue in the spring of 2021. It's unclear how long he may be sidelined, though any return to the majors will certainly be delayed.

Cabrera was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera faced a difficult path to make the Opening Day rotation. He was effective across three scoreless innings in Grapefruit League action on Monday, though he arrived to camp late due to visa issues, raising some question about his availability to begin the regular season. In addition, the Marlins boast a strong rotation, particularly given the promising spring performance of Jesus Luzardo -- the team's likely fifth starter. Despite the fact that Cabrera will begin the campaign in Jacksonville, he will almost certainly get starts in Miami at some point in the coming months.
