Secures 24th hold Cabrera notched his 24th hold in a win over the Reds on Sunday, firing a scoreless eighth inning during which he allowed a hit and recorded two strikeouts.

Impact The left-hander appears to be hitting his stride again after a three-appearance stretch in late August during which he allowed nine earned runs. Cabrera has bounced back to forge four straight scoreless efforts spanning 5.1 innings, a span during which he's also recorded six strikeouts and a victory in addition Sunday's hold. As a battle-tested southpaw, Cabrera is highly likely to continue seeing higher-leverage opportunities for what remains of the regular season.

Back on downswing Thursday Cabrera (2-5) was charged with the loss and his third blown save in a defeat at the hands of the Pirates on Thursday, allowing six earned runs on six hits without recording an out.

Impact Cabrera managed to incur all that damage on just 13 pitches in a performance that was easily his worst of the season. The left-hander had bounced back from another tough outing against Pittsburgh on Saturday by garnering his 23rd hold versus the Tigers on Wednesday, but it's clear Bucs bats have a very good read on his pitches at present.

Bounces back Wednesday Cabrera secured his 23rd hold in an extra-inning win over the Tigers on Wednesday, firing a perfect seventh inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.

Impact The left-hander came through with a sharp 11-pitch outing Wednesday, one in stark contrast to his stumble last time out versus the Pirates. Cabrera surrendered a season-high three earned runs in that outing, but Wednesday marked his 16th scoreless effort in the last 17 trips to the mound.

Tripped up in Saturday's loss Cabrera (2-4) was charged with the loss and his second blown save of the season in a defeat at the hands of the Pirates on Saturday, allowing three earned runs on four hits and an...

Impact The left-hander was charged with preserving a 3-2 lead when he entered in the seventh, and after retiring two of the first three batters he faced, three singles and an intentional walk led to him surrendering three quick runs. The stumble marked the end of a long stretch of success for Cabrera, who hadn't allowed a run in his 15 previous appearances.

AUGUST 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gets 21st hold Cabrera secured his 21st hold in an extra-inning loss to the Brewers on Wednesday, firing a perfect seventh inning.

Impact The left-hander came into the contest locked in, as he fired all seven pitches for strikes in an ultra-efficient inning. Cabrera hasn't allowed a run since July 9, a string of 14 consecutive appearances during which he's garnered nine holds and posted a 14:5 K:BB.

AUGUST 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Up to 18 holds Cabrera secured his 18th hold in a win over the Royals on Saturday, allowing a hit and recording two strikeouts over a scoreless eighth inning.

Impact The left-hander turned in another solid set-up effort, this time preceding Giovanny Gallegos, who drew Saturday's save opportunity. Cabrera now has 10 consecutive scoreless appearances a span covering nine innings and one in which he's garnered six holds.

AUGUST 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gets 15th hold Cabrera secured his 15th hold in an extra-inning win over the Cubs on Wednesday, issuing a walk over a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.

Impact The left-hander fired just five of 11 pitches for strikes, but he had a relatively uneventful appearance on his way to his fifth straight scoreless effort. Cabrera has now notched three holds and a win over his last four trips to the mound, one of his most fantasy-friendly stretches of the campaign.

JULY 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up win Cabrera (2-3) got the win over the Giants on Sunday after tossing a scoreless, hitless inning while walking a batter and striking out two.

Impact Cabrera came in to begin the seventh and recorded two quick punchouts before walking Austin Slater. He got the next batter out and was awarded his first win since May 22 after the Cardinals took the lead in the bottom half of the inning. The 24-year-old has now put together three straight scoreless outings and has a win and a hold over that span after a rough stretch to begin the month. Overall, he owns a 3.80 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 50:25 K:BB over 42.2 innings this year.

Bouncing back from rough stretch Cabrera, who secured his 13th hold in Saturday's win over the Giants, has back-to-back scoreless efforts following a three-appearance stretch where he surrendered seven earned runs...

Impact The normally reliable left-hander came unglued in that early July stretch, giving up three earned runs apiece on two separate occasions. However, Cabrera was able to right his ship in his last appearance before the All-Star break with a scoreless frame against the Cubs, and he came back Saturday with a scoreless two-thirds of an inning versus the Giants. Cabrera's 13 holds are comfortably a career high and have made him a valuable asset in formats that count that statistic.

JULY 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Falters in loss Cabrera (1-3) allowed three earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out one across one inning, taking the loss against the Rockies on Saturday.

Gets 11th hold in win Cabrera secured his 11th hold in a win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, allowing an earned run on a hit and two walks while recording a strikeout over two-thirds of an inning.

Impact Cabrera didn't exactly help himself with some fairly significant control issues, as he got just eight of his 19 pitches into the strike zone. Ultimately, he was able to wiggle out of trouble with the help of fellow reliever Andrew Miller, who got the final out of the seventh inning. Cabrera has now allowed at least one run in five of his last 12 appearances, leading to an elevated 4.63 ERA and 1.54 WHIP during that stretch.

Impact The left-hander had a rare stumble June 11 against the Cubs in which he surrendered a pair of earned runs over one-third of an inning to take his second loss, but he's rounded right back into form. Cabrera has given up just one hit over the three innings covering his last three appearances, posting a 5:0 K:BB along the way.

Suffers second loss Cabrera (1-2) took the loss in a defeat at the hands of the Cubs on Friday, allowing two earned runs on three hits over one-third of an inning. He struck out one.

Impact Cabrera got himself into immediate trouble upon entering in the seventh, allowing two of the first three hitters to reach safely before yielding a two-run double to Joc Pederson. Friday's stumble is an extension of what has been a clear rough patch for the left-hander, as he's now allowed five runs (four earned) across the 3.2 innings covering his last four appearances.

Impact Cabrera lowered his ERA to 1.75 with his 13th consecutive scoreless inning, a stretch spanning 12 appearances. The left-hander does sometimes tempt fate with spotty control (4.2 BB/9), but his high 90s fastball and 83.3 percent LOB rate have helped him frequently wiggle out of trouble.

Impact The left-hander has whittled his ERA and WHIP down to 2.21 and 1.08, respectively, in the process and is also now up to six holds for the season. Cabrera has also already matched 2020's tally of 19 appearances and projects to continue in a high-volume later-inning role, making him a valuable commodity in formats that count holds.

MAY 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Works for fifth hold Cabrera notched his fifth hold in a win over the Mets on Monday, issuing two walks and recording a strikeout over a scoreless inning.

Impact Cabrera had some issues with location as his final line implies, with only nine of his 22 pitches getting into the strike zone. The left-hander hadn't issued a walk since April 19 -- a span of five appearances -- prior to Monday's pair of free passes. Cabrera has allowed an earned run apiece in two of his last four trips to the mound, but he still carries a solid 3.29 ERA and 1.10 WHP across his first 13.2 innings of 2021.

Impressive multi-appearance stretch Cabrera, who recorded his third hold in a win over the Reds on Saturday, has an unblemished ERA, 0.64 WHIP and 7:1 K:BB across the 4.2 innings over his last five appearances.

Impact The hard-throwing left-hander has clearly settled into a nice groove after an uneven start to the season, lowering his season ERA and WHIP to 2.61 and 0.97, respectively. Cabrera should continue to see occasional hold opportunities -- the three he's garnered thus far represent a career high -- as he's increasingly proven trustworthy preserving leads in later-inning scenarios.
