The Phillies signed Cabrera to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Mike Rodriguez reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera pitched for four different teams at the big-league level in 2025, collecting a 6.54 ERA and 35:18 K:BB over 42.2 innings. The southpaw reliever held left-handed batters to a .197/.295/.394line, but righties hit a robust .333/.394/.646 off him. With fellow lefties Jose Alvarado (forearm) and Tanner Banks locks for the bullpen and Kyle Backhus also around, Cabrera is a long shot to make the Opening Day roster.

Cabrera cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera pitched for the Cubs, Twins, Mets and Pirates in 2025 and finished the season with a 6.54 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 42.2 total innings -- by far the worst marks of his career. He'll likely have to settle for a minor-league contract this winter before attempting to work his way back into the big leagues in 2026.

Cabrera pitched a scoreless third of an inning, allowing one walk, to collect the save in Sunday's 5-1 win against Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

After reliever Justin Topa allowed two batters to reach in the ninth and left with a sore knee, Cabrera was called upon to secure the final out of this contest. The veteran southpaw walked the first batter faced before inducing a Mike Yastrzemski flyout to wrap the game. Cabrera, who joined Minnesota on Aug. 17 after being released by Pittsburgh, tallied his sixth career save but does not figure to garner many future opportunities given the Twins' recent fortunes along with his current middle relief role.

The Twins selected Cabrera's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera will be up in the majors with his fourth different team of the season following stints with the Mets, Cubs and Pirates. Over 24 appearances in the big leagues in 2025, Cabrera has posted a 5.79 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 28 innings. He'll likely have to settle for a low-leverage role in the Minnesota bullpen.

Cabrera signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera entered free agency after being DFA'd by the Pirates on Thursday. He'll now aim to rebound in the Twins' farm system after enduring a tough season that's seen the 28-year-old turn in a career-worst 5.79 ERA through 28 innings in the majors.

Cabrera was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera lost his spot on the 40-man roster Monday and has since cleared waivers. He has a 5.79 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 28 innings while pitching for three teams this season.

The Pirates designated Cabrera for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears spots on the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster for right-hander Johan Oviedo (lat/elbow), who was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start in Monday's contest versus the Giants. Cabrera has made 24 relief appearances at the big-league level in 2025 while splitting time between three different teams, posting a 5.79 ERA and 22:7 K:BB over 28 frames.

Cabrera signed a one-year contract with the Pirates on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera will stay put in the NL Central after being designated for assignment by the Cubs on Saturday, and he'll immediately fill in as a big-league bullpen piece for Pittsburgh. The 28-year-old southpaw owns a 6.35 ERA and 1.35 WHIP through 17 innings on the season, so he'll likely be limited to low-leverage work to begin his tenure with the Buccos, though that could change if he begins to return to form. Michael Darrell-Hicks was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis to make room for Cabrera on the active roster, and Hunter Stratton was DFA'd to clear a 40-man spot.

Cabrera elected free agency Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After being pushed off the Cubs' 40-man roster Saturday, Cabrera will test his value in free agency. The 28-year-old owns a 6.35 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 17 innings between the Cubs and Mets this season, so he may have to settle for a minor-league deal to join another organization.

Cabrera was sent outright to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, per MLB's transactions log.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera was booted from the club's 40-man roster Saturday and will report to Triple-A after failing to draw interest on the waiver wire. He owns a 7.88 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 12 strikeouts across eight frames for Iowa so far this season.
