Cabrera

Cabrera gave up nine hits, walked two and struck out eight. He remains 3-0 on the season with the no-decision. The 28-year-old right-hander finished strong by striking out Ke’Bryan Hayes to end the sixth inning. He has a 3.27 ERA on the year. Cabrera is lined up to face the Rangers on the road this weekend.

Cabrera struck out two in a clean first inning, then surrendered a solo homer to Xander Bogaerts to lead off the second. The Padres added another run in the fourth on a walk and a base hit. Cabrera recorded the first two outs in the sixth, then allowed a third run to score on a hit batter and two singles. That would end his day at 99 pitches, 66 for strikes. He generated an impressive 20 whiffs to strike out seven. The 28-year-old right-hander will take a 3.06 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 29/12 K/BB ratio across 35 1/3 innings into a start against the Reds in Chicago on Monday.

Staked to a 7-2 lead, Cabrera pitched the seventh and allowed a homer, a single, and a double before Justin Crwaford reached on an error by Alex Bregman. Cabrera’s fantasy managers are fortunate that it went down like that, as it ultimately saved Cabrera from two earned runs on the ledger. The Phillies appeared to be sitting on Cabrera’s changeup as he allowed four hard-hit balls against it and decreased its usage sharply compared to his normal rates. Cabrera compensated by getting a 50 percent CSW with his curveball. Cabrera should be fired up with confidence against the Padres next week.

Cabrera labored early in the game, and allowed eight hits, but avoided the gopher ball with the wind blowing out at Wrigley and came away with a win. The Mets were all over Cabrera’s fastball, but generated six whiffs on 21 swings against his changeup. His ERA skyrockets to 2.38. Cabrera should continue to be fired up with confidence against the Phillies next week.

He left down two runs, but the Cubs let him off the hook in the ninth. Cabrera walked three and struck out four in a rather unimpressive outing. His fastball averaged 95.0 mph today, down from 96.0 mph in his first two starts and 97.0 in 2025. Last year’s big step forward for Cabrera was the product of a 3.1 K:BB. He has 13 strikeouts and nine walks in 16 2/3 innings this year, putting him at 1.4 K;BB. He’ll face the Mets next week.

Cabrera did issue five walks on the afternoon while striking out four opposing hitters. The lone hit was a very catchable leadoff double to CJ Kayfus in the sixth inning that Michael Conforto got a bad read on in right field. Unfortunately for Cabrera and fantasy managers, the Cubs were unable to scratch out a single run of support for him. He got 10 whiffs on 97 pitches on the day, registering a CSW of 23 percent. He has been brilliant through his first two starts with the Cubs, hurling 11 2/3 shutout innings with a 0.69 WHIP and a 9/6 K/BB ratio. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling when he takes on the Pirates at home on Saturday.

Cabrera was staked to a six-run advantage by the fourth inning of his Cubs debut and had little trouble cruising to an easy win, scattering one hit and one walk over six relatively stress-free frames. Chicago’s big-time offseason trade acquisition generated 15 swinging strikes, topped out at 98.1 mph with his fastball and allowed just two hard-hit balls in this one. He’ll close out a two-start week with a favorable road tilt against the Guardians.

Cabrera’s mostly excellent spring ends on a sour note after coughing up seven hits, including three home runs, on a 91-degree afternoon in the Arizona desert. He struck out three and issued a pair of walks. Fortunately, the results don’t matter here. The 27-year-old will make his Cubs debut this weekend with an extremely favorable home matchup against the Nationals.

The bottom of the first opened right away with a Matt Shaw error, leading to an unearned run. Cabrera sustained no additional damage through the second, but he gave up three runs in a third inning in which he was pulled with two outs and then four more while getting just one out in the fourth. The good news is that Cabrera walked only one. The bad is that his fastball averaged just 95.5 mph, down from 96.6 mph in his first three spring starts and 97.0 mph last year. His sinkers were closer to normal, averaging 96.8 mph, but his changeups were off by 1.8 mph from last year. Hopefully, it’s not a sign that something is wrong with the oft-injured right-hander.

Cabrera gave up nine hard-hit balls today, but only two of those went for hits. He also gave up a couple of soft singles. He’s allowed one run and posted an 8/1 K/BB in 8 1/3 innings over his three outings. One imagines the Dominican Republic would have loved to have him available this weekend.
