Edward Cabrera

Edward Cabrera allowed five runs on seven hits in five innings as he suffered his first loss of the season on Saturday against the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

Cabrera walked one and struck out six, but allowed two home runs and has now served up seven blasts over his last four starts. While his 26:4 K:BB ratio over his last four outings has been a positive, Cabrera has given up at least one home run and at least three runs over the same stretch. He started the year by not allowing a run in his first two starts, covering 11.2 innings. But, in his last six outings, Cabrera has pitched to a 5.19 ERA. Overall, he is 3-1 with a 3.88 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP in 46.1 innings. He's scheduled to square off against the White Sox on Friday in his next start.

Edward Cabrera allowed three runs on nine hits in six innings, earning a no-decision against the Reds on Monday. He walked two and struck out eight.

Fantasy Impact

Cabrera struck out a season-high eight on Monday, but allowed three earned runs for the fifth consecutive start. He also gave up two home runs on the night and has now served up five round trippers over his last three outings. A good sign, however, is that the strikeout has returned to his repertoire as he has punched out 15 batters over his last two starts (11.2 innings). Cabrera is slated to take the mound again on Saturday against the Rangers.

Edward Cabrera lasted 5.2 innings on Tuesday and allowed three runs on six hits, walked one, and struck out seven as the Cubs defeated the Padres, 8-3.

Fantasy Impact

Cabrera struck out a season-high seven batters on Tuesday but, after starting the year with 11.2 scoreless innings, has now allowed three earned runs in four consecutive outings. During the stretch, Cabrera has pitched well enough to go 2-0, but does have a 4.56 ERA and a 1.44 and has allowed 28 hits in 23.2 innings. The righthander will square off against the Reds on Monday.

Edward Cabrera pitched seven innings on Thursday and allowed five runs - three earned - on six hits and settled for a no-decision in the Cubs' 8-7, 10-inning victory over the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

It was a mixed bag of results for Cabrera, who allowed only six hits and no walks in seven innings, but two of the hits were solo home runs to Brandon Marsh - the first home runs he had allowed all season. He was also hurt by a costly error in a three-run seventh inning for the Phillies, or his pitching line would've looked much better. Cabrera has still been a solid acquisition for the Cubs as he sports a 2-0 record with a 2.73 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP through five starts. However, his 22:11 K:BB ratio in 29.2 innings is a bit underwhelming. Cabrera is scheduled to start in San Diego on Tuesday.

Edward Cabrera improved to 2-0 on the young season as he allowed three runs on eight hits in six innings during the Cubs' 12-4 win over the Mets on Friday. The righthander walked two and struck out four.

Fantasy Impact

Cabrera didn't have his best performance on Friday, but he pitched well enough to earn the victory against the reeling Mets. He allowed at least one baserunner in all six innings, though he did pitch to the minimum in two innings by getting a 3-6-3 double play in the third and a strikeout-caught stealing double play to end the fourth. Cabrera moved to 2-0 with a 2.38 ERA in four starts. However, he has allowed 29 baserunners in 22.2 innings, including 11 free passes and only 17 strikeouts. Cabrera is lined up to face the Phillies on Wednesday in his next time out.
