Miami Marlins Edward Cabrera Returns From Injury To Pitch Tuesday

Miami Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera is set to return from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies after missing all of September with a right elbow sprain. Cabrera threw 50 pitches in a simulated game last week and is expected to have a limited workload as he ramps back up, with the possibility of a second start this week against the Mets. Despite a slight tear in his right UCL, the Marlins are satisfied with his progress, and Cabrera has shown the ability to reach fastball speeds up to 97 mph during rehab. He has made a career-high 24 starts this season with a 7-7 record, a 3.57 ERA, and 140 strikeouts over 128 2/3 innings. The team plans to manage his pitch count carefully to build him back up gradually, aiming for him to pitch at least five innings to qualify for a win. Cabrera's return provides a late-season boost to the Marlins' rotation as they close out the 2025 campaign.
