Genesis Cabrera

The St. Louis Cardinals placed Genesis Cabrera on the injured list Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

It is not clear how much time Cabrera will miss. He has been a huge part of the Cardinals bullpen, posting a 2.27 ERA across 15 appearances so far this season. The Cardinals called up Jake Woodford as the corresponding move.

Cardinals left-handed reliever Genesis Cabrera had a night to forget on Thursday, allowing six hits and six runs without recording a single out.

Fantasy Impact

St. Louis led the game 7-3 entering the seventh inning before things went haywire. Andrew Miller allowed a double and walk to begin the inning before Cabrera came into the game. He then proceeded to allow six straight hits (single, single, single, single, double, homer) to blow the lead and take the loss. Cabrera has been a solid reliever all year for the Cardinals but saw his ERA jump from 3.34 to 4.29 after this nightmare outing.

After entering a scoreless game in the bottom of the seventh inning on Saturday night, Genesis Cabrera gave up a leadoff single and a walk before serving up a three-run homer to Trevor Story in a 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

Cabrera has been an important piece of the Cardinals bullpen this season but made a critical mistake on Saturday night that Story punished him for. Cabrera is 1-3 on the season with a 3.23 ERA and is only a fantasy option in deeper leagues that utilize holds as a category.

Cardinals reliever Genesis Cabrera picked up his first win of the season on Saturday in a 2-1 victory over the Cubs by pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings with three strikeouts.

Fantasy Impact

The 24-year-old left-hander has been exceptional in a relief role this season, posting a 1.93 ERA and 0.99 WHIP with seven holds and 26 strikeouts in 23 1/3 innings for St. Louis. He's not worth owning in standard leagues but is worth a look in leagues that utilize holds.

Genesis Cabrera pitched the final inning and two thirds, striking out three and not allowing a baserunner as the Cardinals topped the Pirates 5-4 on Saturday. The Cardinals are now 25-24 and in Second Place in the NL Central.

Fantasy Impact

Cabrera has a 4-1 record with one save and a 2.89 ERA in 18 2/3 innings pitched for the Cardinals this season. He has gotten lucky with BABIP, his .129 season mark is .131 points lower than his .260 BABIP career average, as his luck evens out expect his ERA to rise. With Giovanny Gallegos scheduled to rejoin the team next week, don't expect Cabrera to receive too many more save opportunities. Owners in standard 12-team redraft leagues can leave him on the Waiver Wire.
