Eligibility
Genesis Cabrera signed a one-year deal worth $1.5 million with the Blue Jays to avoid arbitration.
Fantasy Impact
Cabrera was traded from the Cardinals to Blue Jays last season. He should remain one of the top middle relievers for Toronto this season.
The Toronto Blue Jays have acquired relief pitcher Genesis Cabrera from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for minor-league catcher Sammy Hernandez.
Fantasy Impact
Cabrera was designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Monday but finds a new home in relatively short order. The left-hander has struggled in each of the last two seasons, working to a 5.06 ERA in 32 appearances this season after posting a 4.63 mark in 39 outings in 2022. While his strikeout rate has ballooned to 26.6% versus 16.5% last season, his walk rate remains an issue by way of a 12.6% BB% this season.
The Cardinals designated Genesis Cabrera for assignment Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Cabrera was drawing trade interest, but the Cardinals will now have to attempt to move the left-hander within seven days. The 26-year-old has a 5.06 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP in 32 appearances this season. If he’s not traded, he will likely get picked up on waivers by a team needing bullpen help.
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.
