Edwar Cabrera (left shoulder impingement) threw a 45-pitch bullpen session last month.

We've read nothing further regarding Cabrera, which probably means he isn't close to a rehab assignment. The 25-year-old lefty was placed on the 60-day disabled list in February. He's eligible for activation, but not healthy enough to pitch. Cabrera ranked as Colorado's ninth best prospect by MLB.com this offseason.

Aaron Loup has been a bright spot in Toronto's bullpen, tallying a 2.55 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 24 2/3 innings.

Over the past two years, he's given the Jays a 2.60 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 55 1/3 innings. Toronto doesn't trust him much in high-leverage situations, however, which is why he only has four holds in 2013 and 10 in his career.

Brandon Lyon is enjoying his first season in Queens, recording a 3.06 ERA through 21 appearances.

New York guaranteed Lyon less than a million bucks as a free agent this winter, an investment that is paying off nicely. The veteran reliever has five holds, a 1.08 WHIP and 16/4 K/BB ratio in 17 2/3 innings. Lyon registered a solid 3.10 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 63/20 K/BB ratio across 61 innings last season between the Astros and Blue Jays.

Ronald Belisario sits on a 3.22 ERA through 23 appearances.

Belisario put up a nice 2.54 ERA while striking out nearly a batter per inning last season. He's punched out one less batter per nine innings in 2013 and his control hasn't been quite as sharp. Currently, Belisario is allowing the highest batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage of his career, but he has been slightly unlucky with balls in play,

Josh Tomlin (Tommy John surgery) could return near the end of the season.

Tomlin went under the knife last August. At this point in his rehab, it's hard to predict if a 2013 return is in the cards. Tomlin has said he'd rather be 100 percent for 2014 rather than making a premature late-season return this year. The right-hander posted a 6.36 ERA in 16 starts and five relief appearances with the Indians last season.

Martin Maldonado has regressed at the plate in 2013, slashing .184/.253/.303 over 83 plate appearances.

In his first real exposure to Major League pitching, Maldonado batted .266/.321/.408 in 256 plate appearances last season. Perhaps he's toting his struggles onto the field with his catcher's gear. Maldonado has been a run worse than average defensively this year, according to Baseball Reference.

Antonio Bastardo has a 2.35 ERA through 19 appearances despite a mediocre 1.43 WHIP.

Bastardo has also blown two saves. He's punching out 4.6 less hitters per nine innings then he did last year, when he had a poor 4.33 ERA, and he's allowing more hits and walks. If Bastardo doesn't become stingier with base runners, his peripherals will begin to wreak havoc on his ERA.
May 24 - 2:06 AM

Over 19 relief appearances, Charlie Furbush owns a 4.42 ERA in 18 1/3 innings.

The 27-year-old lefthander established himself as a potential bullpen asset in 2012, posting a 2.72 ERA over 48 appearances. In 28 less innings this year, Furbush has given up the same amount of homers (three) and only six less walks (10).
