Takes loss Saturday
Cabrera (3-1) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Rangers after allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out six.
Analysis
This was Cabrera's worst outing of the season, and he's clearly trending in the wrong direction after suffering his first defeat of 2026. The right-hander began the season with 11.2 scoreless frames in his first two starts, but he's allowed at least three earned runs in each of his last six appearances. Cabrera, who gave up multiple homers Saturday for the third time in his last four starts, now has a 3.88 ERA across 46.1 innings this year. He lines up to make his next start against the crosstown White Sox.

Fans eight in quality start
Cabrera didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Reds, allowing three runs on nine hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out eight.
Analysis
Despite serving up a pair of homers Monday, the 28-year-old right-hander continues to provide the Cubs with length on a steady basis. Not only did Cabrera fan a season-high eight, but he worked at least five innings in his seventh straight start to open the year. While he has given up at least six hits and three runs in five consecutive outings, Cabrera will still take a solid 3.27 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 37:14 K:BB over 41.1 frames into his next scheduled appearance in Texas.
