Cabrera (biceps) threw 35 pitches over two innings in an extended spring training game Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

After he faced hitters in live batting practice last week, Cabrera was expected to repeat the activity this week, but the Marlins opted to turn him loose in a controlled game setting instead. Assuming Cabrera's right biceps feels fine coming out of Tuesday's outing, the Marlins could begin to etch out a minor-league rehab assignment for the right-hander. Once he's built up his pitch count for starting duty, Cabrera will likely be included in the Triple-A Jacksonville rotation.

Cabrera (biceps) is scheduled to throw a second live batting practice session later this week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera experienced no setbacks with his left arm after throwing 20 pitches against live hitters Saturday, so he'll repeat the activity again before potentially beginning a minor-league rehab assignment. The Marlins will likely have the 23-year-old build up his pitch count over at least a couple outings at the lower levels of the minors before he eventually settles into the rotation at Triple-A Jacksonville.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera will get the green light to face hitters for the first time in 2021 if he's able to complete a bullpen session Tuesday without any setbacks. The Marlins have been bringing the 23-year-old right-hander along slowly since he was diagnosed with an inflamed nerve in his biceps at the onset of spring training.

Cabrera (biceps) completed a 20-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Assuming Cabrera reports no setbacks with his right biceps coming out of the workout, he'll be in line to throw another side session Friday. Cabrera was sidelined for all of spring training due to an inflamed nerve in his biceps, but he appears to be making solid progress since initiating a throwing program in early April. He could be ready to join the Triple-A Jacksonville rotation at some point in late May.

Cabrera (biceps) has been throwing from 105 feet without issue, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera continues to increase his throwing distance since being shut down in mid-February. There remains no clear timetable for his return to game action.

Cabrera (biceps) has been throwing from 75 feet at the Marlins' alternate training site, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera had been shut down since mid-February due to an inflamed nerve in his biceps. It's not yet clear when Cabrera will be cleared to return to game action, but the right-hander should report to Triple-A Jacksonville when he's fully healthy.

Marlins general manager Kim Ng said Monday that Cabrera (biceps) has yet to resume a throwing program, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shortly after reporting to spring training in mid-February, Cabrera was diagnosed with an inflamed nerve in his biceps and has been shut down ever since. The injury effectively ended Cabrera's long-shot bid for a spot in the Marlins' Opening Day rotation, and given that he has yet to throw a month later, he may not be ready to go when Triple-A Jacksonville begins its season in May. A clearer timeline for Cabrera's eventual 2021 debut should emerge once he eventually resumes throwing.

The Marlins optioned Cabrera (biceps) to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Andre Fernandez of Sirius XM Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera has been sidelined all spring due to right biceps inflammation, ending any hope he had of making a dark-horse run at a back-end rotation spot for Miami. Assuming that he's able to overcome the biceps injury with a few more weeks of rest and rehab, Cabrera could be ready to pitch when Jacksonville begins its season in May.

Cabrera isn't throwing to begin spring training due to an inflamed nerve in his right biceps, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old is with the team to open camp but isn't participating in throwing activities. It's unclear when Cabrera is expected to return to the mound, though the Marlins figure to remain cautious with one of their top prospects.

Cabrera (arm) will join the Marlins' taxi squad for the team's road trips to Atlanta and New York during the final week of the regular season, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old right-hander likely would have made his big-league debut earlier this season when a team-wide COVID-19 outbreak left the Marlins short on healthy pitchers, but Cabrera wasn't available after sustaining an arm injury late in summer camp. Cabrera has moved past the injury, but with Miami's pitching staff having since returned to full strength and no more doubleheaders on the schedule this season, the team doesn't have an obvious spot in the rotation for him. Even so, the hard-throwing Cabrera could still be in the mix for a callup prior to the playoffs, as the Marlins are lacking in high-impact arms out of the bullpen and could view him as an upgrade over most of their relievers currently on the active roster.
