EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has been throwing for much of the week already and the initial reports from those sessions are positive. Cashner is still expected to begin the regular season on the disabled list, but it's encouraging to see him progress through his rehab process. A timetable for his return should become clearer following his appointment Friday.
