Cabrera's Struggles Expose Phillies Pitching Gap

Phillies pitching prospect Jean Cabrera is in freefall, getting sent down from Triple-A to Double-A after a disastrous season with a 2-4 record and an ERA over 10—hitters are crushing him at nearly .400. Protected on the 40-man roster ahead of 2025, he still has one minor league option left, but with only Alan Rangel healthy in Triple-A, the Phillies’ starting depth is dangerously thin. Cabrera’s struggles aren’t isolated—Andrew Painter’s rough MLB debut underscores a broader need for a reliable swingman to bridge the gap between levels before the trade deadline.
