Manager Andy Green confirmed Cosart will start Thursday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Cosart will get the nod Thursday in place of Trevor Cahill, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a shoulder strain Wednesday. He's already tossed a pair of games for the Padres this season, allowing three runs (one earned) with a 4:3 K:BB through 7.2 innings of work. He'll lineup against Zach Davies and the hot-hitting Brewers.

Cosart could make a spot start Thursday against the Brewers in place of Trevor Cahill (shoulder), AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cosart has already made two starts this season, allowing three runs (one earned) on seven hits while posting a 4:3 K:BB in 7.2 innings pitched. He's certainly well-rested given that he hasn't made a major-league appearance since mid-April, so he seems like a logical option to fill the void until Cahill is healthy again. If this comes to fruition, Cosart would line up against Milwaukee right-hander Zach Davies.

Cosart (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Cosart was placed on the disabled list April 19 after straining his hamstring during his previous start. The 26-year-old allowed one earned run over six innings of rehab work between High-A Lake Elsinore and Triple-A El Paso over the past couple of weeks. Manager Andy Green recently hinted that Cosart will likely operate in a long relief bullpen role upon his return from the DL.

Cosart (hamstring) made his first rehab appearance for Single-A Lake Elsinore this week, but he will require another rehab outing before being activated off the disabled list, Dennis Lin of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old needed 43 pitches to get through two innings Tuesday, but the Padres would like to see better results before bringing him back to majors. Manager Andy Green referenced "long work" when talking about Cosart's eventual reinstatement from the disabled list, hinting that the righty will be used in relief upon his return.

Cosart (hamstring) is scheduled to make a rehab start with High-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cosart was placed on the 10-day disabled list on April 19 after straining his right hamstring during a start the day before. He was able to throw a bullpen session this weekend and if his rehab start goes well, it sounds like the 26-year-old should be able to rejoin the Padres in the coming week or two.

Cosart (hamstring) is expected to throw a bullpen session this weekend in San Francisco, Dennis Lin of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Padres will decide whether Cosart is ready to return from the DL after the session, so it will be a telltale weekend for the right-hander. If all goes well, he could retake his place in the rotation during next week's home stand, but could also find himself relegated to a bullpen role if Luis Perdomo proves to be the stronger option.

Cosart was placed on the disabled list with a right hamstring strain, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cosart left his start Tuesday in the fourth inning with the ailment, and he'll apparently need some time on the DL to let it properly heal. Kevin Quackenbush was recalled to fill his roster spot, though it's unclear who the Padres will turn to if they need a temporary fifth starter. It's unclear how long he'll be sidelined with the injury, though a return date should become clearer once the Padres update his status.

Cosart, who exited Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks in the fourth inning, was diagnosed with a right hamstring strain, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cosart exited Tuesday's game after walking in a run during the top of the fourth inning. In 3.2 innings pitched, the righty allowed three runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks before being relieved by Craig Stammen. The severity of Cosart's hamstring strain is still unclear, so he'll be considered day-to-day until more details become available.

Cosart will stay in the Padres' rotation with Trevor Cahill (back) and Luis Perdomo (shoulder) both on the DL, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cosart filled in admirably during a spot start Monday against Colorado, allowing no runs and five hits over four solid innings in the win. The right-hander posted a 6.03 ERA over nine starts for San Diego last season, so management may be cautious with giving him heavy innings. Nonetheless, look for Cosart to remain in the rotation for now, setting his next start for next Tuesday against Arizona.

Cosart allowed five hits while walking one and striking out two in four shutout innings in a no-decision in Monday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

It was a surprising performance given the fact he was making a spot start for the injured Trevor Cahill (back) at hitter-friendly Coors Field. But Cosart got it done and may have helped his chances for a shot at the rotation at some point this year. The right-hander isn't very attractive for fantasy purposes though, even if he's in the rotation.
