Scouting Report: Edward Cabrera

Summary

Edward Cabrera started the 2026 season strong with 11.2 consecutive scoreless innings in his first two starts (3-0 record), but has experienced a dramatic decline over his last seven starts. He allowed at least three earned runs in each of his last seven appearances, posting a 5.26 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in that span. His worst outing came Saturday against the Rangers when he allowed five runs on seven hits with two home runs in just five innings, suffering his first loss of the season. Most recently, he took a no-decision Friday against the White Sox, allowing three earned runs on three hits and three walks in 4.2 innings—his shortest start of the season. Underlying metrics show concerning trends including decreased fastball velocity, reduced spin rates on breaking balls (curveball down 182 RPMs with spin efficiency dropping from 77% to 63%), loss of horizontal and vertical movement on his curveball, and a dipped arm angle. He has given up seven home runs over his last four starts.
