Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: 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.
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.

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

Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: 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.
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.

Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: Doing fine in spring
Cabrera has allowed two earned runs on six hits while striking out four and issuing no walks over four innings across four Grapefruit League appearances.
Cabrera also logged 1.1 scoreless innings for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic. The southpaw had an up-and-down 2022 with a 4.63 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 44.2 innings, but he still managed to pick up 13 holds. He's likely to make the Cardinals out of camp as a lefty reliever with experience in mid-to-high-leverage usage.

Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: Snags win Saturday
Cabrera (4-2) retired both batters he faced to earn the win Saturday over the Diamondbacks.
Cabrera got the last two outs of the fifth inning after another inefficient start from Dakota Hudson. The win was Cabrera's first since June 5. He's pitched five times in August, keeping runs off the board in four of those outings aside from a four-run disaster in Colorado on Aug. 11. The lefty reliever has a 3.51 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 32:18 K:BB through 41 innings this year, adding one save, 12 holds and a blown save through 36 appearances. He continues to see high-leverage work, though Ryan Helsley (personal) and Giovanny Gallegos are still ahead of Cabrera for save chances.

Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: Tagged with loss Saturday
Cabrera (3-2) allowed two runs on a hit and a walk while striking out one in one inning, taking the loss and a blown save versus the Nationals on Saturday.
Jordan Hicks pitched a clean sixth inning but hit the first batter he faced in the seventh. Cabrera entered the contest and walked Juan Soto before giving up a three-run home run to Josh Bell, and the Cardinals couldn't catch up again later in the game. Through six appearances in July, Cabrera's been charged with four runs, though those have been accumulated between two outings. He has a 2.95 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 32:16 K:BB with a save, a blown save and 10 holds in 36.2 innings. Despite the unsteady performances since returning from the COVID-19 injured list, the southpaw remains in a high-leverage role.

Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: Reinstated from injured list
Cabrera (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Friday.
Cabrera spent nearly two weeks on the COVID-19 list but has been throwing bullpens in recent days and will rejoin the Cardinals' bullpen without requiring a rehab assignment. He posted a 2.40 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 15 innings over his last 10 appearances prior to the IL stint, and he should reclaim a setup role now that he's healthy.

Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: Could be activated Friday
Cabrera (illness) may be reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Friday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
The left-hander has been on the COVID-19 IL since June 25, and he's poised to rejoin the active roster without requiring a minor-league rehab assignment. Cabrera has a 2.27 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB across 31.2 innings this year and should return to a setup role once activated.

Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: Scheduled for bullpen session
Cabrera (illness) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Cabrera has been sidelined since June 25, but his ability to report back to the St. Louis facility for workouts this week suggests he's cleared all COVID-19-related protocols. The Cardinals will assess his conditioning and arm strength after the bullpen session. If he checks out well, he may not need a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the 26-man active roster.

Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: Placed on injured list
Cabrera was placed on the injured list for an unspecified reason Saturday.
The Cardinals didn't provide an injury designation for Cabrera's placement on the injured list, signaling that the southpaw is likely on the COVID-19 IL. If that's the case, he'll be eligible to return as soon as he clears the league's COVID-19 protocols, but his recovery timetable will depend on whether he's tested positive for the virus. Jake Woodford was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, while Zack Thompson should see increased looks in high-leverage situations while Cabrera is sidelined.

Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: Collects two-inning save
Cabrera allowed two walks and hit a batter with one strikeout in two innings to earn the save in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Brewers.
Cabrera put two on base with two outs in the ninth inning, but he got a groundout from Christian Yelich to end the threat. This was Cabrera's first save since 2020, but he's been part of the Cardinals' high-leverage mix with 10 holds this year. He's allowed three runs in 10.2 innings in June and now sports a 2.27 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB across 31.2 innings overall. Ryan Helsley and Giovanny Gallegos are still likely to see most of the save chances, but both of them covered two innings each in Tuesday's contest to allow Cabrera the opportunity to close Wednesday.

Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: Picks up 10th hold
Cabrera allowed a run on two hits and struck out one in 1.1 innings, recording a hold in a 3-1 win over the Pirates in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.
Cabrera allowed a solo home run to Yu Chang in the seventh inning, but that was all the run production the Pirates got in the matinee. Through 23 appearances, Cabrera has yet to allow more than one earned run in any outing this season. He's pitched to a 2.20 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB across 28.2 innings. The southpaw is one of the Cardinals' high-leverage relievers as he's picked up 10 holds, though most save chances have gone to Giovanny Gallegos and Ryan Helsley.

Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: Picks up relief win
Cabrera (3-1) earned the win during Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Cubs, allowing one run on two hits and one walk with five strikeouts in four relief innings.
Cabrera relieved starter Adam Wainwright in the eighth and surrendered a run on back-to-back doubles to fall in line for the loss, but St. Louis rallied and manager Oliver Marmol stuck with the lefty the rest of the way. The 25-year-old fired 41 of 58 pitches for strikes with an impressive 10 of the swinging variety and should continue to see high-leverage innings out of St. Louis' bullpen with a 2.16 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB.

Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: Snags win Monday
Cabrera (2-1) walked one in a scoreless and hitless inning, earning the extra-inning win over the Blue Jays on Monday.
Cabrera handled the 10th inning with relative ease, and Paul Goldschmidt won it for the Cardinals with a walkoff grand slam. There's been some ups and downs for Cabrera in May, but he's posted a 3.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across nine innings this month. Overall, the southpaw has a 2.50 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 13:6 K:BB and five holds in 17 appearances spanning 18 innings. Four of the five earned runs he's allowed have come on solo home runs -- he only surrendered three homers in 71 outings last season, so this is likely an anomaly.

Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: Takes loss Sunday
Cabrera (1-1) allowed one run on one hit in one inning, taking the loss Sunday versus the Giants.
Cabrera allowed a solo shot to Mike Yastrzemski in the sixth inning, and that was the decisive run in the game. All four runs Cabrera's allowed this season have come on solo home runs, though he was able to escape with a hold in two of those four outings. Aside from the long balls, he's pitched well with a 2.84 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB across 12.2 innings. The southpaw has added three holds while seeing high-leverage work.

Cardinals' Genesis Cabrera: Suspended one game
Cabrera was issued a one-game suspension for his role in a bench-clearing fight against the Mets on Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Cabrera will be unavailable for Thursday's series opener against the Diamondbacks unless he chooses to appeal his suspension. In his last four appearances, he's earned a win and a hold while tossing 4.2 scoreless innings. Assuming he serves his suspension Thursday, the southpaw will return to the Cardinals' bullpen Friday.
