Edward Cabrera (hamstring) hits 98.8 mph in rehab start

Edward Cabrera

CHC Starting Pitcher #30

Player Stats

Edward Cabrera (hamstring) allowed three runs over 1 2/3 innings on Friday in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Iowa.

The results are a secondary concern since Cabrera looked sharp from a raw stuff standpoint, hitting 98.8 mph with his fastball during his first rehab outing. The 28-year-old, who is working his way back from a moderate left hamstring strain, struck out three and threw 43 pitches. Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reports on Friday that he’ll probably need two additional tune-up outings to continue building up his pitch count and stamina. That timeline puts Cabrera back in the Cubs’ rotation sometime around mid-August.

Cubs placed RHP Edward Cabrera on the 15-day injured list with a blister.

Cabrera has battled through numerous injuries during his Chicago debut. He’s likely to miss a couple weeks with a finger blister that cropped up while he was getting torched for seven runs over 3 2/3 innings against the Cardinals over the weekend. He’s basically off fantasy radar screens at this point with just a few weeks left in the season. It sounds like he’s headed to the bullpen one he’s back from the injured list.

Edward Cabrera developed a blister on his right middle finger during his start Sunday, but he’s optimistic he’ll take his next turn.

Cubs fans would probably prefer he didn’t. Cabrera, who missed time back in May with a blister, is due to face the Mariners next weekend, but the team has flexibility after the off day Thursday.

Edward Cabrera was hit hard for seven runs in 3 2/3 innings in a loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

Cabrera was ineffective from the jump, allowing six hits and issuing three walks against two strikeouts before being pulled. It’s worth noting that it was his first start after being activated off the injured list because of his hamstring strain, but Cabrera has not been a consistent option before that injury, and he now has a 5.88 ERA on the season. He’ll get a chance to improve those numbers Saturday against the Mariners in Seattle.

Cubs activated RHP Edward Cabrera from the 15-day injured list.

The 28-year-old hurler will rejoin the Cubs’ rotation on Sunday afternoon against the Cardinals. Cabrera holds a 5.10 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 65/29 K/BB ratio across 72 1/3 innings in 14 starts with the Cubs this season.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Edward Cabrera (hamstring) will come off the injured list and start against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Cabrera hasn’t been strong enough this year to be an easy start against the Cardinals in his first stint off the IL, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he pitched well either. He struck out seven in five scoreless innings in a tune-up on Tuesday at Double-A Knoxville.

Edward Cabrera (hamstring) recorded seven strikeouts over five shutout innings in a minor league rehab start for Double-A Knoxville on Tuesday.

No word on Cabrera’s velocity during the 64-pitch outing since this one was in a Double-A ballpark, but the results were certainly impressive. He looked sharp his last time out, tossing four shutout frames for Triple-A Iowa last week. It seems highly likely that he’ll be ready to return to Chicago’s rotation early next week.

CHC Starting Pitcher #30

Edward Cabrera (hamstring) threw four shutout innings for Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, allowing one hit while striking out eight.

Cabrera also didn’t walk anybody and threw 75 percent of his pitches for strikes. He sat 97.4 on his four-seam fastball and consistently overpowered Triple-A hitters. We should note that the strike rate on his four-seamer was just 64 percent in this one, and he threw only five sinkers, so fastball command is still a potential bugaboo. Considering he threw just 55 pitches overall in this one, we’d expect him to make one more rehab start before rejoining the Cubs rotation.

Edward Cabrera (hamstring) will make a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Iowa on Friday.

Cubs skipper Craig Counsell told reporters Cabrera is likely to require three rehab outings before returning. The 28-year-old starter hit the shelf with a moderate left hamstring strain back on June 24. He should make it back to Chicago at some point in mid-August.

Edward Cabrera has been diagnosed with a moderate left hamstring strain.

There is no timetable yet for Cabrera to return after undergoing an MRI that revealed a rather significant hamstring strain. The 28-year-old starter hit the injured list earlier on Wednesday after suffering the injury during Tuesday night’s start against the Mets. His extended absence is another hit to Chicago’s perilously-thin rotation depth. It sounds like fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him back until some point in August.

Cubs placed Edward Cabrera on the 15-day injured list with a hamstring strain.

Cabrera injured his hamstring when he accidentally did a split while covering first base on Tuesday night. He looked to be in a lot of pain and had to be removed from the game. The Cubs are sending him for imaging on Wednesday to see how long he will be out for.

Cam Smith hit his 18th homer and walked and came around to score Tuesday versus the Phillies.

Smith took a chance and ran through a stop sign at third base to score his first run on Jeremy Peña’s double. Especially after he was sat down in back-to-back games over the weekend, it was a little surprising to see Smith in the lineup tonight against a righty after he struck out three all three times up on Monday. He’ll be back in there Wednesday against a lefty, though it will be a touch matchup versus Christopher Sánchez.

Senga entered the ninth inning with a three-run lead and gave up back-to-back one-out doubles before recording back-to-back strikeouts to end the game. The Marlins brought the tying run to the plate, but it was still another relatively low-stress outing for the fill-in closer Senga, who now has seven saves.

Sandy Alcantara allowed seven runs in 4 2/3 innings and took the loss against the Mets on Tuesday.

Alcantara gave up seven hits, walked four and struck out one. He fell to 13-10 with the loss. Alcantara allowed at least seven runs in a start three times in his first 12 starts and had a 4.66 ERA in that span. In his next 18 starts before Tuesday, he never allowed more than five runs in a start and had a 2.84 ERA. Alcantara has a 3.78 ERA. Though the outing against the Mets was concerning, Alcantara can be trusted to bounce back in his next start against the Diamondbacks on the road next week.

Athletics SS prospect Leo De Vries will undergo right shoulder surgery to repair an anterior labrum tear, according to MLB.com’s Martín Gallegos.

Gallegos adds that De Vries could miss up to eighth months recovering from the surgical procedure. The 19-year-old top prospect was shut down with a shoulder issue back in late August after hitting .290/.378/.458 with 13 homers and 34 steals for Double-A Midland as one of the youngest hitters in the Texas League this season. The positive news here is that he won’t miss too much time from a development standpoint at the outset of next season.

He has a 4.79 ERA on the season. Manaea is lined up to face the Orioles at home next week, though he isn’t worth the risk in most fantasy leagues at this point.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Chisholm’s thumb was numb after he hurt it sliding into second base in the top of the ninth inning and he’ll undergo further evaluation to determine the severity of the issue. There probably won’t be another update on his status until Wednesday’s contest. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
