    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.

Rafael Devers was placed on the 60-day injured list with a core muscle injury, ending the Giants slugger's season early in the middle of an offensive tear.

    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.

    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.
  • AZ Starting Pitcher
    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.

    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.
  • AZ Starting Pitcher
    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.
  • AZ Starting Pitcher
    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.
  • AZ Starting Pitcher
    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.
  • AZ Starting Pitcher
    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
    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.

    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.

    Braves re-signed RHP Elieser Hernández to a minor league contract.

    Color us shocked. The 31-year-old has been designated for assignment and re-signed a few times now, and the dance will likely continue through the end of the season.

    Braves designated LHP Bailey Falter for assignment.

    Falter threw 3 1/3 shutout innings for the Braves, allowing just two hits and striking out two batters. We anticipate that this is simply a move to bring a fresh arm up into their bullpen, and Falter could quickly be re-signed to a minor league contract.

    Braves recalled RHP Owen Murphy from Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Murphy has been recalled to fill a role out of the bullpen. The 22-year-old has a 1.29 ERA over his last five starts at Triple-A, but he is off the fantasy radar as a reliever.

    Maikel Garcia (hamstring) went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base for Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

    Garcia played most of the game at third base, and obviously, the stolen base is a good sign for the health of his hamstring. There is no indication yet of when Garcia might return to the Royals’ lineup, but it seems possible that it could be this week.

    Red Sox INF prospect Franklin Arias went 2-for-5 with a home run for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

    Arias is now hitting .333/.392/.510 with five home runs, 32 RBI, and three steals in 37 games at Triple-A. Trevor Story has gone 18-for-53 (.340) since coming off the injured list and Romy Gonzalez is also hitting the ball really well since being sent to Triple-A, so there is less of a path for Arias to get at-bats this season in Boston.

    Mets promoted INF prospect Jefferson Rojas to Triple-A Syracuse.

    Rojas came over from the Cubs at the trade deadline for Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor. The 21-year-old was tremendous for Double-A Binghamton, slashing .280/.336/.593 with nine home runs, 29 RBI, and three steals in 29 games. In his time with the Mets, he has started 10 games at third base, eight games at shortstop, and six games at second base, so the Mets are going continue to move him around to see where his easiest path is to big league at-bats.

    Nationals promoted RHP prospect Jarlin Susana to Triple-A Rochester.

    Susana has been making his way back from last September’s lat surgery and has pitched just 17 2/3 innings this year. He has a 5.09 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in those innings, but he also has a 43.6 percent strikeout-to-walk ratio and struck out 21 batters in 11 1/3 innings at Double-A. The 22-year-old may not officially be a reliever long-term, but he will continue to work out of the bullpen in Triple-A while the team gets him consistent innings to end the season.

    Manager Tony Vitello said after Sunday’s game that Logan Webb could be shut down for the final two weeks.

    First, they’ll have a conversation. Webb gave up six runs to the Padres in Sunday night’s loss to fall to 8-9 with a 4.31 ERA. He’s currently slated to face the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Fernando Tatis Jr. went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a steal as the Padres defeated the Giants 6-4 on Sunday Night Baseball.

    Tatis’s singles were hit 105, 111 and 103 mph. The steal was his 35th in 48 tries. He’s already exceeded his previous career high of 32 from last year. He is hitting .395 with four homers and four steals in 11 games this month.

    Nick Pivetta got through four innings, allowing two runs, Sunday night against the Giants.

    Pivetta struck out five and got up to 69 pitches in his second start back from the 60-day IL. It looked like he might have been dealing with a leg issue at the end of the outing, but he grinded it out. Assuming that he’s OK, maybe he’ll have a chance to complete five innings in a home start against the Marlins next weekend.
