Phillies release Genesis Cabrera

The Philadelphia Phillies have made some changes to their pitching depth.

Philadelphia released seven-year MLB veteran Genesis Cabrera from his minor-league deal, as revealed on the transactions log.

The Phillies signed Cabrera to a minor-league deal in December after a rough 2025 MLB season that saw him pitch for four different teams. In Triple-A, the left-hander had struggled as Cabrera was 1-2 with a 10.38 ERA in 15 games, including his last outing, where he went 0.1 innings, allowing 8 runs, on 6 hits and 2 walks.

According to an international baseball reporter, Edwin Hernandez, Cabrera is expected to field interest from overseas following his release from the Phillies.

“RP Génesis Cabrera, released today by the Phillies, is looking for overseas opportunities. According to sources. I’m told also that NPB teams were interested on him last offseason,” Hernandez wrote on X.

Cabrera originally signed with the Tampa Bay Rays as an international free agent in 2013. He didn’t make his debut until 2019 with the St. Louis Cardinals, as he was acquired by St. Louis in 2018 as part of a package for Tommy Pham.

After parts of five seasons with the Cardinals, he was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays in 2023. Following the 2024 season, he elected free agency and signed with the New York Mets.

In 2025, Cabrera pitched for the Mets, Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Minnesota Twins, which led to a minor league deal with the Phillies.

Cabrera went 0-1 with a 6.54 ERA in 40 games in 2025. In his MLB career, Cabrera is 17-15 with a 4.24 ERA in 312 games.
