Cabral has filed for free agency, Rich Dubroff of Comcast Sports Net reports.

Cabral made just two appearances with the Orioles this season, walking one batter in just an inning of work. While his numbers at Triple-A Norfolk (4.95 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 43:19 K:BB in 40 innings) were certainly down, he will likely get a chance to impress with another team during spring training.

Cabral has been sent to Triple-A Norfolk outright on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports.

After appearing in just two games with the Orioles he was designated for assignment Sunday. With no other team claiming the 26-year-old, he now finds himself on the Triple-A Norfolk roster and off the 40-man roster, effectively ending his tenure with the major league club this year.

Cabral was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Sunday.

Cabral didn't see much time in the majors this season, but he didn't do badly in his two appearances, throwing a scoreless inning total. He's now off the 40-man roster, likely taking him out of consideration to potentially join the Orioles' roster in September.

Cabral was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.

Cabral compiled one inning of work over two appearances with the Orioles, walking one batter and striking out another. With the Orioles selecting outfielder Nolan Reimold's contract Tuesday, Cabral will be sent back down to Triple-A, which leaves Baltimore thin on left-handed options in the bullpen.

Cabral made his Orioles debut in relief Saturday, walking one before inducing a double play in his 0.2 innings against the Indians.

Cabral had not allowed a run in his 21.2 innings at Double-A and Triple-A, so why start now? Cabral's season is a bit of an enigma, as he has not had a WHIP below 1.40 in the minors since 2010, yet he has been dominant this season. Cabral could be headed back to Triple-A as soon as Sunday when Bud Norris is activated from the DL.

Cabral was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Bowie Baysox broadcaster Adam Pohl reports.

Cabral joined infielder Rey Navarro in being recalled Friday, as the team freed up room on the roster by optioning Steve Clevenger and Mike Wright to Triple-A Norfolk. The 26-year-old Cabrera, who began the year at Double-A Bowie, is 2-0 and has not allowed a run this season in 21 relief appearances while striking out 25. He hasn't fared as well at the major league level, however, posting a career 7.71 ERA in 12 MLB appearances for the Yankees in 2013 and 2014.

Cabral has signed a minor league deal with the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Cabral spent time at three different levels last time, and pitched one inning with the Yankees in which he allowed three runs while striking out two. He spent most of the season at Double-A Trenton, where he struggled his way to a 5.63 ERA and 1.66 WHIP over 32 innings while striking out 37. He struggled with his command last season in a big way, walking 23 over the period last season, and another two in his inning with the Yankees. He should provide the Orioles with some organizational depth in the bullpen.

Yankees sent LHP Cesar Cabral outright to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Cabral successfully cleared waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. He'll serve as bullpen depth in the minors.

Yankees designated LHP Cesar Cabral for assignment.

Not an unsurprising move after completely losing his control and hitting three batters in the eighth inning of Friday's loss to the Rays. While it's possible he'll generate some interest on waivers, the most likely scenario is that he returns to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre where he'll attempt to get back on track.

Yankees recalled LHP Cesar Cabral from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

He'll take the place of the injured David Robertson (groin) on the active roster. Cabral appeared in eight games with the big club last season and had a 5.40 ERA with 43 strikeouts over 36 2/3 innings in the minors.

Yankees optioned LHP Cesar Cabral from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The 25-year-old southpaw was outstanding in Grapefruit League play, hurling 9 1/3 scoreless innings while compiling a 10/6 K/BB ratio. Even so, he lost out to Vidal Nuno for the final spot in the Opening Day bullpen somehow. He'll get another shot with the Yankees at some point early in the 2014 season no doubt.

Yankees purchased the contract of LHP Cesar Cabral from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Cabral holds a 5.40 ERA with 43 strikeouts over 36 2/3 innings across multiple minor league stops in his first year back from elbow surgery. He'll give the Yanks another southpaw in the bullpen.

Yankees outrighted LHP Cesar Cabral to Double-A Trenton.

The move was made to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Chris Bootcheck. The 24-year-old southpaw missed the entire 2012 season with a stress fracture in his elbow, and has struggled this season, posting a 6.75 ERA and 2.08 WHIP through his first 12 innings in the minors.

Cesar Cabral (elbow) threw a scoreless inning Wednesday in an extended spring training game.

Cabral worked around a single by Delmon Young to complete the frame. The 24-year-old left-hander missed all of 2012 with a stress fracture in his elbow. It's not clear when he'll begin an official minor league rehab assignment.

Yankees placed LHP Cesar Cabral on the 60-day disabled list with an elbow injury.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly-claimed Dan Otero. The 24-year-old left-hander missed all of 2012 with a stress fracture in his elbow and isn't expected to pitch in games until May.

Cesar Cabral (elbow) isn't expected to be ready to pitch in games until May.

Cabral missed all of 2012 with a stress fracture in his left elbow, and he obviously still isn't 100 percent. The positive with the injury is that the Yankees will be able to bring the Rule 5 pick along slowly with minor league rehab games.

According to Chad Jennings of the Journal News, Cesar Cabral isn't expected to be 100% healthy by the start of the regular season.

Cabral was a Rule 5 selection before the 2012 season, buy was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his left elbow during spring training and missed the entire season. Once healthy, he could find a role as a left-handed specialist in the Yankees bullpen.

Rule 5 pick Cesar Cabral was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his left elbow.

He's likely a candidate for the 60-day disabled list. For what it's worth, Cabral had a solid spring as the Yankees' left-handed specialist, posting a 1.74 ERA and 12/1 K/BB ratio in 10 1/3 innings. Clay Rapada is now set to begin the year on the Opening Day roster.

Rule 5 pick Cesar Cabral Cesar Cabral will undergo X-rays and an MRI on his left (pitching) elbow.

Cabral's arm is in a sling, so he doesn't appear to be dealing with just garden variety soreness. Fighting for a spot as a lefty specialist in the Bombers bullpen, Cabral has had a solid spring, posting a 1.74 ERA and 12/1 K/BB ratio in 10 1/3 innings. It looks like it could all be for naught, however.

Yankees acquired LHP Cesar Cabral from the Royals for cash considerations.

The Royals selected Cabral from the Red Sox in Thursday's Rule 5 Draft. The 22-year-old left-hander posted a 2.95 ERA this season while striking out 70 over 55 innings between High- and Double-A. He'll try to make the Yankees' bullpen out of spring training.
