D-backs call up Jose Cabrera for start vs. Twins

Jose Cabrera

AZ Starting Pitcher

Player Stats

Diamondbacks selected the contract of RHP Jose Cabrera from Triple-A Reno.

Cabrera draws the starting assignment for Sunday’s series finale against the Twins with both Ryne Nelson (elbow) and Michael Soroka (glute) hitting the injured list earlier this week. The unheralded 24-year-old righty doesn’t light up the radar gun, but he’s been an effective starter in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League this season, compiling a strong 3.69 ERA and 64/16 K/BB ratio across 61 innings over 12 starts for Triple-A Reno. A wait-and-see approach seems like the right call as Cabrera arrives in the big leagues, but he could offer some streaming appeal in deeper fantasy formats if he hits the ground running.

Diamondbacks optioned RHP Jose Cabrera to Triple-A Reno.

Cabrera winds up losing his spot on Arizona’s active roster with former ace Corbin Burnes returning from a nearly two-year absence. The 24-year-old tossed three scoreless frames in relief against the Royals on Monday and has allowed just wo runs over 9 1/3 innings across three appearances since returning to the majors back on August 27.

Jose Cabrera tossed three scoreless innings in a bulk relief appearance against the Royals on Monday.

Cabrera notched only one strikeout, but managed to limit Kansas City to just five baserunners over three frames after opener Derek Law tossed two scoreless innings to get things underway. The 24-year-old rookie lacks the strikeout upside to be a useful fantasy contributor, but he’s done a nice job for Arizona in a multi-inning role, allowing just two runs over 9 1/3 innings across three appearances since returning to the majors on August 27. He’s probably going to continue pitching in relief with Corbin Burnes, Zac Gallen and Michael Soroka close to making it back from the injured list.

Jose Cabrera yielded two runs in 4 1/3 innings Thursday in a loss to the Giants.

This looked like it might be a very short outing from Cabrera after he got a visit from the pitching coach in the first, but he did at least manage to get 13 outs. It took him 30 pitches to get the first three and then only 40 more for the remaining 10. If Cabrera sticks around after this, he’ll likely face the Phillies next Wednesday. The D-backs hope to get Michael Soroka back after that.

Diamondbacks recalled RHP Jose Cabrera from Triple-A Reno.

As anticipated, the 24-year-old hurler returns to start on Thursday against the Giants, taking the rotation spot previously held by Kohl Drake. Cabrera made four starts with the big league club earlier in the season, posting a dreadful 5.60 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 12/7 K/BB ratio across 17 2/3 frames.

Jose Cabrera will start against the Giants on Thursday.

Cabrera last started for Arizona back on July 8. He’ll get the ball in place of Kohl Drake. The 24-year-old rookie right-hander allowed 11 runs on 20 hits with a 12/7 K/BB ratio across 17 2/3 innings over four starts for the Diamondbacks earlier this season. He doesn’t miss enough bats to be a streaming consideration for fantasy managers.

Diamondbacks optioned RHP Jose Cabrera to Triple-A Reno.

As anticipated, Cabrera heads back to Reno with Michael Soroka expected to be ready to return to take his place in the Diamondbacks’ rotation coming out of the All-Star break. Phillip Abner was recalled from Triple-A Reno to add a fresh arm to the team’s bullpen for the final four games before the break.

Jose Cabrera gave up four runs in 4 1/3 innings Wednesday in a loss to the Padres.

Since throwing five scoreless innings in his major league debut against the Twins last month, Cabrera has given up 11 runs and walked nine in 12 2/3 innings over three starts. It seems likely that he’ll head back to Triple-A now, as the D-backs could have Michael Soroka ready to go after the break.

Jose Cabrera was bounced from Friday’s start against the Brewers in the fourth inning after giving up three runs on six hits across 3 1/3 frames.

The 24-year-old right-hander also allowed three walks in the contest while striking out three. He was tagged for a two-run blast by Garrett Mitchell in the second inning, then the Brewers scratched out an additional run on an RBI single by Jake Bauers in the third. Cabrera generated four whiffs on 63 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 24 percent. He’ll look to improve upon his 4.73 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 10/5 K/BB ratio (13 1/3 innings) when he squares off against the Padres in San Diego on Wednesday.

Jose Cabrera allowed four runs with four strikeouts over five innings in a loss against the Rays on Saturday.

Cabrera served up a solo homer to Junior Caminero in the first inning. Jonathan Aranda later took him deep for a two-run blast in the fifth. Cabrera would start the sixth, giving up two hits with no outs, before leaving the game at 80 pitches. One inherited runner would come in to score. The 24-year-old right-hander has allowed four runs over ten innings through two starts with a 7/2 K/BB ratio. He’ll take on the Brewers in Arizona on Friday.

AZ Starting Pitcher

Jose Cabrera shut out the Twins for five innings in his major league debut Sunday.

Cabrera gave up five hard-hit balls, including a 392-foot bomb from Luke Keaschall, but they all turned into outs. He also walked none, and while he settled for three strikeouts, he was able to generate 11 whiffs on 35 swings. He’ll almost certainly get a chance to stick around after this, and he should face the Rays on Friday.

Rays selected the contract of INF Nick Madrigal from Triple-A Durham.

Madrigal heads to Tampa Bay as an emergency stopgap with shortstop Taylor Walls hitting the injured list with a hip flexor strain. The 29-year-old defensive specialist got into 15 games for the Angels earlier this season, hitting .273 (12-for-44) with one stolen base. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

Rays placed INF Taylor Walls on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to September 6, with a right hip flexor strain.

It’s a bit unclear how much time Walls is going to miss, but a multi-week shutdown seems likely given the nature of the injury. The 30-year-old defensive specialist’s absence creates some issues for the AL East-leading Rays heading into the postseason as they’ll turn to journeyman Jorge Mateo as a temporary stopgap. They have former top prospect Carson Williams stationed at Triple-A Durham, but he simply hasn’t shown enough at the plate in the majors to be a realistic option.

Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters Bryce Elder underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Tuesday and will be out until the postseason.

Weiss added that Elder will require a 3-4 week recovery timetable and could potentially return during the playoffs. The 27-year-old was expected to be bumped from Atlanta’s rotation with Reynaldo López returning from the injured list later this week. He’ll finish the regular season with a respectable 4.11 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 121/49 K/BB ratio across 149 innings over 26 starts. He’ll factor into Atlanta’s pitching plans at some point in the postseason, but he can be safely dropped in all fantasy formats.

Josh Jung (calf) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Jung has made a slower than expected recovery from a calf strain that put him on the shelf back in late July. The 28-year-old would add some much-needed offensive production at the hot corner if he’s able to make it back for the final two weeks of the season. He offers enough in the over-the-fence pop and batting average departments to be impactful in deeper mixed leagues down the home stretch.

Jake Bauers (shin) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Cubs.

The Brewers are prioritizing some extra rest for Bauers as he continues to play through shin splits, in addition to other assorted bumps and bruises. The decision makes sense with lefty David Peterson toeing the rubber for Chicago in this one. It’ll be Andrew Vaughn covering the cold corner and getting a chance to do some damage in his place.

Diamondbacks activated RHP Corbin Burnes from the 60-day injured list.

Burnes takes the ball against the Royals for his first start since June 1, 2025. The 31-year-old’s likely midseason return from last year’s Tommy John surgery was delayed by a teres major muscle strain. The 31-year-old former fantasy ace is probably going to be on a pitch count in his return to the majors, but he threw 53 pitches in his final minor league rehab outing, so it shouldn’t be overly restrictive. It’s challenging to trust Burnes right away in shallow mixed leagues, but his lengthy track record suggests that he’s a worthwhile option in deeper fantasy leagues.
