Cease was diagnosed with a right triceps contusion after he exited Friday's game against Cleveland, Scot Gregor of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cease was hit by a comebacker in the bottom of the sixth inning Friday and was removed from the game after a lengthy visit with trainers. The right-hander underwent X-rays that came back negative, and he's considered day-to-day. If the 25-year-old is cleared to make his next start, he tentatively lines up to take the mound at home against the Tigers on Friday.
