Genesis Cabrera Designated For Assignment
1 year agoThe St. Louis Cardinals designated left-handed reliever Genesis Cabrera for assignment on Monday morning. Cabrera had been with the team since 2019, and it's a surprising move given his presumed trade interest, although he can still be traded within seven days of being designated for assignment. The 26-year-old Dominican southpaw gets the boot off the team's 40-man roster after posting a 5.06 ERA (5.03 FIP), 1.56 WHIP, 18 walks and 38 strikeouts in 32 innings pitched over 32 relief appearances for the Red Birds in 2023. In his five years in the majors, Cabrera has a 4.14 ERA (4.44 FIP), 1.36 WHIP and 23.9 percent strikeout rate in 189 1/3 innings over 174 appearances (two starts).
