Asdrubal Cabrera is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 20 of the 2021 MLB season. Consider adding the IF if he's free agent in your leagues.
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams
ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Cabrera has quietly been raking since rejoining the D-Backs back on July 24. He missed a little under three weeks with a right hamstring strain but is slashing .303/.425/.515 with four doubles, one home run, nine RBI, and a 9:7 K/BB ratio in 11 games since his activation. He's battled injury and inconsistency this year, straining his hamstring multiple times and requiring two separate stints on the IL. Overall, he's slashing .249/.346/.404 six home runs, 37 RBI, and a stolen base over 225 at-bats. The Diamondbacks visit the Giants for two games next week before hosting the Padres for a four-game set. On paper, the matchups look difficult but Cabrera has some historical success against the toughest pitchers he'll face.
The D-Backs will see two left-handers in Alex Wood and Blake Snell and four righties with Kevin Gausman, Chris Paddack, Yu Darvish, and Joe Musgrove on the docket. Cabrera is slashing .275/.363/.406 with six doubles, a home run, and 13 RBI against left-handed pitching this season so he's playable against Wood and Snell. He's also 9-for-34 (.375/.375/.833) with three home runs in his career against Darvish. He's taken Joe Musgrove deep before and has four hits with a .412 OBP in 14 at-bats against Gausman. Cabrera is getting up there in age (35-years-old) but he's still a well-rounded player and can be a worthwhile fantasy contributor. He's sporting a career-best 12.5% Walk Rate and 25.1% Chase Rate so he gets bumped up in OBP leagues. He's not the flashiest streamer and he doesn't fill up the box score like he used to but he should provide a safe floor.
