Cabrera signed a minor league deal with the Marlins on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old backstop spent the last two seasons with the Reds, but was non-tendered this offseason. He figures to be fourth on the depth chart at catcher this spring, and is likely to spend the season offering organizational depth at Triple-A.

The Reds declined to tender Cabrera a contract for 2017, making him a free agent, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cincinnati had already effectively cut bait, designating Cabrera for assignment Monday. Cabrera appeared in 61 games for the Reds in 2016, serving as the primary backup to Tucker Barnhart after Devin Mesoraco went down. He hit .246/.279/.357 over 185 plate appearances.

Cabrera was designated for assignment by the Reds on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera's second-career stint in the major leagues didn't go nearly as well as his first, as he could only muster a .246 batting average over the course of 171 at-bats. Because of this, the Reds decided to cede his 40-man roster spot to Juan Graterol, a catcher who they claimed off waivers from the Angels. Cabrera will likely spend 2017 in an organizational depth role unless a team thin at catcher swipes him up in the near future.

Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer against the Marlins on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera went deep off Jose Fernandez for his first home run of 2016 and second of his career. The 26-year-old catcher has only appeared in 37 games for the Reds and has been underwhelming. His OBP is below .300 and without any power to make up for it, Cabrera doesn't have much fantasy value except for in extremely deep leagues.

Cabrera is batting .240 with 11 RBI in 100 at-bats this season.

EDGE Analysis

Despite a consistent start to the year, the second-year player is hitting just .154 on 13 at-bats in August. Regardless, Cabrera will continue to serve as the Reds' backup to Tucker Barnhart who has three times the plate appearances.

Cabrera is starting at catcher and batting eighth against San Diego on Saturday, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera is making just his second start in the last seven games while Tucker Barnhart gets a maintenance day. After compiling a five-game hit streak from late May into early June, Cabrera has cooled off slightly, hitting just 4-for-17 (.235) over his last six games.

Cabrera is in the lineup and batting eighth for Wednesday's game against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

With Jordan Pacheco and Devin Mesoraco both on the disabled list, Cabrera will assume the role as backup catcher to Tucker Barnhart. Cabrera will get the start tonight and look to continue to make the most of his opportunities as he is hitting .286/.333/.343 with four RBI, four runs and one stolen base through 12 games this season.

Cabrera is in the lineup and batting eighth for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera will get the start while Tucker Barnhart takes the night off. The 26-year-old is hitting .353 with three RBI and a stolen base in his last five games, but doesn't receive enough playing time to be considered for fantasy at the moment.

Cabrera is in the lineup and batting eighth for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera has only played in seven games this season, but has made the most of his time, hitting .263/.333/.263. The Venezuelan doesn't offer much fantasy value though due to his limited playing time.

Cabrera flew back to Cincinnati on Sunday to get his left ring finger examined, but was able to rejoin the team on time for Monday's game in Denver, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

X-rays on Cabrera's finger came back negative after he suffered the injury Friday night.
