Added to roster The Mets selected Cabrera's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Impact It's been a mixed bag this season for Cabrera at Syracuse, allowing seven runs and walking five but also striking out 12 over eight innings. He will provide manager Carlos Mendoza with a lefty in the bullpen after the team recently lost Danny Young (elbow) and A.J. Minter (lat).

Joins Mets as NRI The Mets signed Cabrera to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cabrera, 28, compiled a 3.59 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 50:29 K:BB over 62.2 innings with the Blue Jays in 2024. The left-handed reliever flashes plus stuff, but walks and consistency have been problematic.

Headed to free agency Cabrera cleared waivers and opted for free agency Monday.

Impact Cabrera served as one of Toronto's more reliable bullpen arms during the 2024 season, cruising to a 3.00 ERA and 1.40 WHIP with a 48:29 K:BB in his first 66 appearances (60.0 innings) before surrendering five runs in his final three outings of the year to inflate his ERA to 3.59. He shouldn't have much trouble latching on elsewhere heading into his age-28 season.

Comes off paternity list The Blue Jays activated Cabrera (personal) from the paternity list Sunday.

Impact Right-hander Yerry Rodriguez was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo to make room on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Cabrera. Before he was away from the team over the past three days welcoming a new addition into his family, Cabrera had compiled a 3.50 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 37:23 K:BB across 46.1 innings over 50 appearances for Toronto.

Placed on paternity list The Blue Jays placed Cabrera on the paternity list Thursday.

Impact Cabrera will be allowed to miss up to three games as he spends time with his expanding family. Tommy Nance was selected from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move to replenish Toronto's bullpen depth.

Notches second save Cabrera gave up a hit and a walk while striking out in the 10th inning Sunday to record his second save of the season in a win over the Mariners.

Impact Chad Green worked the ninth in a tie game, leaving Cabrera to handle the save situation when the team took the lead in the top of the 10th. The southpaw got the job done, continuing a hot streak that has seen him get scored upon only once in his last 12 appearances. Cabrera sports a 0.75 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB in 12 innings over that stretch, but he hasn't seen consistent high-leverage usage -- he has two extra-inning saves during that time, but zero wins or holds. With Tim Mayza no longer on the roster, however, Cabrera is the top left-handed option in the Toronto bullpen, which should lead to more holds in the second half of the season.

Collects first hold as Jay Cabrera gave up one hit and struck out three across two scoreless innings Tuesday to record his sixth hold of the season in a loss to the Dodgers.

Impact The southpaw has come out blazing to begin his tenure in Toronto's bullpen, posting a 4:0 K:BB over three shutout innings in his first two appearances. Cabrera had a 5.05 ERA in 32 innings for the Cardinals prior to getting DFA'd last week, but perhaps the Jays' coaching staff spotted a mechanical issue that they were able to fix quickly -- his fastball topped out at 97.5 mph on Tuesday, on a called strike three to Will Smith on his final pitch of the night. Cabrera could prove to be a huge addition to the set-up corps in front of Jordan Romano if he's able to maintain this form.

Could join bullpen Sunday Cabrera will join the Blue Jays in Seattle and could be added to the roster Sunday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Cabrera was acquired from the Cardinals via trade Friday and it sounds like he'll head directly to the big-league club rather than go to the minors first. The left-hander holds a 5.06 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 38:18 K:BB over 32 innings in the majors in 2023.

Acquired by Blue Jays The Blue Jays acquired Cabrera from the Cardinals in exchange for Sammy Hernandez on Friday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cabrera had been designated for assignment after posting a disappointing 5.06 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 38:18 K:BB over 32 innings out of the St. Louis bullpen this season. The left-hander has a big arm and has flashed more in the past, though, so perhaps Toronto will be able to coax more out of him.

Removed from 40-man roster The Cardinals designated Cabrera for assignment Monday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Woo relays that the Cardinals had been receiving trade inquiries for Cabrera, but St. Louis' decision to remove him from the 40-man roster perhaps suggests that the lefty reliever's market wasn't as robust as anticipated. The Cardinals will still have the ability to trade Cabrera over the next week, but he'll otherwise get exposed to waivers if no deal is reached. The 26-year-old posted a 5.06 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 38:18 K:BB over 32 innings out of the St. Louis bullpen this season.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss Monday Cabrera (1-1) allowed a run on two hits and a walk in one-third of an inning, taking the loss Monday versus the Rangers.

Impact Cabrera couldn't keep the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving up a walk-off single to Nathaniel Lowe. Things have gone sideways for Cabrera since the start of May -- he's allowed nine runs with a 10:11 K:BB over his last 11.1 innings. The southpaw has mostly seen low-leverage assignments while posting a 4.70 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 29:14 K:BB over 23 innings this season. He's added three holds and a blown save.

JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up win Cabrera (1-0) allowed a hit and two walks while striking out one in 1.1 innings, earning the win Monday versus the Cubs.

Impact Cabrera was the first reliever in after a short outing from Miles Mikolas. Cabrera did his job well, and the Cardinals pulled ahead while he was in the game, giving him his first win of the season. The southpaw has seen mostly low-leverage spots so far, but he's also picked up two holds in his last five outings, which suggests he may be working his way up the leverage ladder. He has a 2.51 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB through 14.1 innings this season.

MAY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Up with big club Cabrera was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact The 26-year-old missed out on the Cardinals' Opening Day roster but will join the MLB club Saturday with Packy Naughton (forearm) headed to the injured list. Cabrera made 39 appearances for St. Louis last season and had a 4.63 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 32:30 K:BB over 44.2 innings.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will begin year in Triple-A Cabrera was optioned to Triple-A Memphis by the Cardinals on Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Cabrera has pitched well this spring with a 2.57 ERA over seven innings of work with seven strikeouts, but the southpaw won't be a part of the Opening Day bullpen to begin 2023. The 26-year-old will all but assuredly see time with the Cardinals before the end of the year, but it will likely be as a low-leverage option.
