Génesis Cabrera - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Mostly effective early Cabrera has posted a 3.86 ERA, 3:3 K:BB and two holds across the 4.2 innings covering his first four appearances.

Impact The talented but control-challenged left-hander had one hiccup against the Reds last Sunday, when he gave up two earned runs on two hits and a walk over one inning. However, Cabrera has posted a combined 3.2 scoreless frames over his other three trips to the mound, and he's encouragingly stayed away from issuing any walks to the nine batters he's faced across his last two appearances.

Starting to settle in Cabrera, who allowed three earned runs across two innings over his first pair of Grapefruit League appearances, has now tossed consecutive scoreless, one-inning outings.

Impact Cabrera seems to be settling in after battling some of his trademark control issues during his first two trips to the mound this spring, when he issued four walks across his initial pair of frames. The 24-year-old southpaw was a revelation in 2020 with a 4-1 record, 2.42 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 33.7 percent strikeout rate across 19 appearances, and he profiles for a similar high-usage bullpen role again this coming season.

Impact Cabrera was on the hill for the third straight day, although his Saturday appearance had been cut short due to issues with his cracked fingernail. The left-hander had then allowed an earned run over 1.1 innings Sunday against the Reds before bouncing back with Monday's strong effort. Cabrera has notched half of his four wins on the season during September, a month in which he's already compiled 12 strikeouts across 7.2 innings.

Impact Manager Mike Shildt noted issues with keeping Cabrera's replacement acrylic nail affixed were at the heart of the reliever's early exit Saturday, but with the problem resolved, he was ready to return to action Sunday. Cabrera's one run was charged to him after he left the game, and he's now yielded both of his earned runs in September over his last three appearances.

Impact The cracked fingernail is an issue the left-hander has dealt with since spring training, and it cropped up again Saturday while throwing his warm-up pitches, so he didn't actually face a batter. Cabrera has been solid out of the bullpen with a 3.29 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 19:11 K:BB over 13.2 innings this season.

Impact Cabrera recently moved past a cracked fingernail and just saw a streak of five consecutive scoreless appearances snapped Thursday by the Tigers. The left-hander is still sporting an impressive 3.29 ERA and solid 1.17 WHIP across 13.2 innings (12 appearances), but the one-time minor-league starter has just one save in a professional career that dates back to 2015.

Earns third win Cabrera (3-1) picked up the win in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins, walking one and striking out one in a scoreless fourth inning.

Impact He took over for Daniel Ponce de Leon after the Cards had grabbed a 5-2 lead in the bottom of the third, and Cabrera's effectiveness earned him the win from the official scorer. The southpaw has only been scored upon once in his last nine appearances, and on the year he now sports a 2.70 ERA and 19:10 K:BB through 13.1 innings, conceding only four hits during that time.

Moves past finger issue Cabrera retired four hitters -- all via strikeout -- while yielding one hit in his relief appearance Sunday in the Cardinals' 7-3 win over the Cubs.

Impact Cabrera also recorded two outs during an appearance in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, so his usage on back-to-back days seemingly implies that he's moved past the cracked fingernail he developed coming out of an Aug. 29 outing. The 23-year-old lefty made two starts with the big club in 2019 and was a member of the Triple-A Memphis rotation last season, but the Cardinals don't seem prepared to remove him from the bullpen anytime soon, even though the club will have a need for some extra starters over the next couple weeks with a slew of doubleheaders on tap.

Nabs second victory Cabrera (2-1) was credited with the victory in a win over the Reds on Sunday, firing two scoreless innings during which he allowed no hits and one walk.

Impact Cabrera got two outs in the sixth inning before two errors allowed Eugenio Suarez to get to third base. A walk and a hit batter loaded the bases and ended Cabrera's outing, but Tyler Webb gave up a grand slam to Reds pinch hitter Matt Davidson. That was enough to give Cabrera the loss.

However, the Cardinals made Cabrera the pitcher of record in the visitors' half of the fifth inning with a four-run rally that gave them a lead they wouldn't relinquish. The appearance was Cabrera's first of the season after he got a late start to summer camp due to a bout with COVID-19 and then saw the team's schedule paused for over two weeks due to a coronavirus outbreak.
