Description: Padres righty Andrew Cashner has been confirmed as the starter for Friday's game against the Giants, according to Eno Sarris of FanGraphs.com. | Insight: Cashner started the season in the bullpen after suffering a thumb injury during a hunting accident in December, but he'll take Tyson Ross' spot in the rotation. He possesses a blazing fastball and showed potential after becoming a starter last June, but a strained lat knocked him out shortly after and he didn't return to action until September. Owners in 12-team leagues should give him a shot. | | |

Description: Padres starter Andrew Cashner will be sidelined for three months after being stabbed in the thumb by a friend in a hunting accident. The two were trimming an animal carcass. | Insight: Cashner lacerated a tendon and needed surgery. The young right-hander has an electric fastball and showed potential in taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning in his second career start, but he missed two months with a strained lat and will be hard-pressed to win a rotation spot in spring training if he's unable to pitch. | | |

Description: Padres starter Andrew Cashner will be shut down for the remainder of the year while he deals with an injured lat. | Insight: Cashner's potent fastball makes him an interesting fantasy target for next season, though his injury history could cause him to fall into the later rounds on draft day. | | |

The youngster has tremendous strikeout potential and he's displayed solid control in his three most recent starts, recording a 16/1 K/BB in 13 1/3 innings. | | |

Description: Padres right-hander Andrew Cashner (lat) is expected to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, according to Jeff Sanders of the North County Times. | Insight: Cashner hasn't pitched in more than a month due to the strained lat muscle he suffered in his start July 3.

| 7/4/2012 9:59:00 PM |
Description: Padres right-hander Andrew Cashner has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a lat injury. | Insight: Cashner will be out at least 3-4 weeks, if not more. The 25-year-old fireballer was recently promoted from the minors after San Diego sent him down to stretch out his arm. In his first start back, Cashner took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, putting him on the radar in mixed leagues. | | |

Description: Padres right-hander Andrew Cashner took a no-hitter into the seventh inning Wednesday against Houston in his third career start. Cashner ended up allowing two runs in 6 1/3 while striking out nine. | Insight: Cashner should be added in most leagues, as strikeout pitchers with upside are difficult to come by.

| 6/26/2012 5:27:00 PM |
Description: Padres right-hander Andrew Cashner will be called up from the minors to start Thursday against Houston. | Insight: San Diego sent Cashner down on June 10 to stretch his arm out, and the righty registered a 1.88 ERA and 22/3 K/BB ratio in 14 1/3 innings. Give him a shot if you need a boost in strikeouts. | | |
| 6/10/2012 4:00:00 PM |
Description: Andrew Cashner has been sent down to Double-A San Antonio. The move isn't a demotion: Cashner is simply getting groomed to become a starter after pitching out of the Padres' bullpen all season. | Insight: San Diego really likes the idea of turning their 25-year-old flamethrower into a starter, so he'll spend a few weeks in the minor leagues getting accustomed to his new role. Cashner (3-3, 3.81) has only started two games in his major league career and the most pitches he has thrown in an outing is 72 so it could take him a while to adjust to the increased workload. | | |

Description: After San Diego's Andrew Cashner makes a start Saturday against Milwaukee, he'll be optioned to the minors so he can stretch out his arm. | Insight: Cashner (3-3, 3.81 ERA) is needed for a start Saturday but don't expect him to go long in that game. We'll be able to make a better prediction of the right-hander's fantasy value as a starter once we see how he fares in the minors, though he'll have immediate NL-only value when he returns to the big leagues. | | |
| 6/7/2012 3:25:00 PM |
Description: Padres reliever Andrew Cashner will make his second career start Saturday against Milwaukee. | Insight: Cashner (3-3, 3.81 ERA) has been used in the bullpen all year so look for him to throw only three or four innings. Perhaps if he shows good stamina on Saturday, Cashner could be allowed to pitch deeper into the game in future starts. | | |

Description: Cashner has won the fifth spot in the Cubs' rotation. | Insight: Cashner allowed three earned runs over five innings Saturday to push his ERA up to 4.41 for the spring, but he had been decent through his first four games. Of course, he easily outperformed Carlos Silva, which was the key. He struck out 50 over 54.1 innings of relief work for the Cubs last season. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
