César Augusto Cabral Dipre (born February 11, 1989) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles.

Cabral was originally signed for the Boston Red Sox by scout Luis Scheker, as an international amateur free agent and played in their minor league system through 2010. His professional career began in 2006, when he went 1–4 with a 4.54 ERA in 11 games (10 starts) with the DSL Red Sox. In 2007, again with the DSL Red Sox, Cabral went 5–4 with a 1.76 ERA in 14 starts. He pitched for the GCL Red Sox in 2008, going 2–5 with a 5.59 ERA in 11 games (9 starts), striking out 51 batters in 48 1/3 innings. In 2009, he went 1–6 with a 4.03 ERA in 15 games (9 starts) with the Lowell Spinners. He split 2010 between the Greenville Drive and Salem Red Sox, going a combined 4–0 with a 3.63 ERA in 45 relief appearances. That season, he struck out 80 batters in 79 1/3 innings.

Cabral was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2010 Rule 5 Draft. He was claimed by the Toronto Blue Jays on waivers on March 12, 2011, only to be waived and claimed by the Rays on March 14. On March 28, he was returned to Boston per Rule 5 guidelines. He split 2011 between Salem and the Portland Sea Dogs, going 3-4 with a 2.95 ERA in 36 appearances. He had 70 strikeouts in 55 innings of work.

The Kansas City Royals selected Cabral in the 2011 Rule 5 draft, and sold him to the New York Yankees. He suffered a stress fracture in his left elbow before the 2012 season and was placed on the 60-day disabled list. Cabral was sent outright to the minors on June 14, 2013.

Cabral was called up to the Yankees on September 1, 2013 when rosters expanded. He made his major league debut the next day against the Chicago White Sox, throwing a scoreless 8th inning allowing a hit and striking out two.
