RHP Edward Cabrera (right shoulder impingement)
Expected return: TBD
According to manager Skip Schumaker, the club is still evaluating Cabrera after he threw a bullpen in Jupiter, Fla., on May 17. He is with the club in Miami.
"[We're] trying to figure out how to get him over the hump, and it hasn't happened yet," Schumaker said. "So we're trying to figure out exactly what it is to get him to the next step."
Cabrera had progressed to playing catch on May 13 after he received an injection on May 8 that relieved the pain. Cabrera began the season on the injured list with the same diagnosis, and he also missed a month of the 2023 season with it. Following his 58-pitch start on May 7, the Marlins initially thought it could be a biceps issue. (Last updated: May 20)
