Orioles manager Buck Showalter confirmed that Cashner (back) would be reinstated from the 10-day disabled list and start Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Eduardo A. Encina of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Showalter reached the decision after Cashner completed a workout early Sunday without experiencing any back issues. Cashner missed just one start with the sore lower back, with Yefry Ramirez taking the hill in his stead June 13 against the Red Sox before being optioned to Triple-A Norfolk following the outing.

Cashner (back) will throw a bullpen session Sunday and likely return to the mound against the Nationals next week if all goes according to plan, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cashner was placed on the 10-day DL on Tuesday due to lower back soreness but he isn't expected to miss more than the minimum after receiving good news from an MRI test. If the right-hander's session goes well, expect manager Buck Showalter to confirm his next start date prior to Sunday's series finale.

An MRI on Cashner's back came back clean, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cashner was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with lower back soreness, but he's hoping to return when first eligible (June 19) after X-rays revealed nothing out of the ordinary. Barring any setbacks, the veteran right-hander is hoping to rejoin the Orioles' rotation during the team's three-game series against the Nationals next week (June 19-21).

Cashner was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with lower back soreness, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury apparently crept up after Cashner's most recent start, and it's bothersome enough to warrant a trip to the disabled list. Fortunately, thanks to a couple of well-placed off days, manager Buck Showalter believes Cashner will only be forced to miss one start while on the shelf. In the meantime, Miguel Castro and Yefry Ramirez are the leading candidates to make a spot start in Cashner's place Wednesday.

Cashner (2-8) took the loss Friday as the Orioles dropped a 5-1 decision to the Blue Jays, allowing three runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings while striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

It's the right-hander's sixth quality start in 13 outings, and he's been consistently mediocre all year -- Cashner's pitched fewer than five innings only twice but more than six just once, and he's struck out between three and seven batters every time he's taken the mound. He'll carry a 4.98 ERA into his next start Wednesday at home against the Red Sox.

Cashner (2-5) allowed two runs on eight hits and thee walks with four strikeouts through five innings to pick up the win Monday over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Cashner found the strikeouts when he needed them and was helped out by an outfield assist at home plate as well. His inability to keep runners off base, though, looks like it will be a problem all year long. Cashner hasn't walked fewer than two batters in a start yet, and with a 1.55 WHIP, he has struggled mightily to keep his pitch counts down even when he's been on his game. Cashner's next outing will come Saturday against the Rays.

Cashner (1-5) took the loss against the Phillies on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander held the Phillies off the scoreboard until the sixth inning, at which point things began to unravel and he fell just one out shy of his second straight quality start and fifth of the season, Cashner will carry a 4.83 ERA into his next outing Monday on the road against the White Sox.

Cashner did not make his scheduled start Tuesday against the Phillies as the game was postponed due to rain.
