Andrew Cashner - S - Padres

Andrew Cashner delivered a strong performance in Thursday’s no-decision against the Rockies, surrendering three runs on seven hits over his seven innings of work.

Cashner punched out four and walked two on the night. He departed with a 5-3 lead and in line to earn his fifth victory, but the Rockies rallied against the Padres bullpen in the eighth inning to negate that. The flame-throwing right-hander has been solid thus far, compiling a 3.68 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 46/19 K/BB ratio through his first 63 2/3 innings. He faces a tough assignment next time out though, as he’ll take on the Braves at home on Tuesday.

Andrew Cashner allowed four earned runs on nine hits over six innings Saturday in the Padres' victory at Arizona.

He struck out five and walked none. Cashner was eminently hittable this evening and gave up a two-run homer to Eric Chavez in the first, but San Diego's offense lit up the scoreboard and gifted the 26-year-old with his fourth win. He'll take a 3.38 ERA and 1.22 WHIP into a tasty date with the Mariners in PETCO on Thursday.

Andrew Cashner held the Nationals to three runs on seven hits over six-plus innings Sunday for his third win of the season.

He gave up just one walk and had six strikeouts. His lone mistake came on a two-run home run to Ryan Zimmerman in the fourth inning. Since converting to a starter, Cashner's fastball has averaged 94.8 mph, where he ranks second only to Stephen Strasburg. He's surrendered just four runs over his last 21 innings and remains a must-own in standard mixed fantasy leagues.

Andrew Cashner held the Orioles to two runs -- one earned -- over 7 1/3 innings Tuesday in a Padres victory.

Cashner was handed a no-decision because the Padres didn't lock up the win until the ninth inning. Cashner scattered four singles and one double, fanning three and issuing only one walk. He has been mostly solid since moving into the San Diego starting rotation and is a must-own right now in standard mixed fantasy leagues. The Nationals are next.

Andrew Cashner held the Marlins scoreless on four hits and three walks over 7 1/3 innings in Monday’s 5-0 win.

Cashner managed just four strikeouts against the feeble Marlins lineup and had to pitch out of a couple jams early in the game, but overall it was certainly a fine effort from the hard-thrower. The right-hander hasn’t piled up the strikeouts so far like you’d expect, but he’s looked good in two of his last three outings. He’ll be a strong play in Tampa over the weekend.

Andrew Cashner lasted only four innings on Wednesday, allowing five runs -- four earned -- in a loss to the Cubs.

Cashner was subpar throughout the start, allowing runs in all four of his innings. The right-hander looked great last Friday against the Giants, so we can hope this was merely an off night. Fortunately for the 26-year-old, he gets the Giancarlo Stanton-less Marlins his next time out.

Andrew Cashner limited the Giants to one run in six innings Friday to earn a victory in a 2-1 game.

The lone run came on a wild pitch with one-run in the first. Cashner settled down nicely after that and even retired the final 12 batters he faced tonight. He should last in the Padres rotation until he either gets hurt or he hits his innings limit in late August or September. He needs to be picked up in any leagues in which he's unowned.

Andrew Cashner - S - Padres

Andrew Cashner is expected to remain in the Padres' rotation and start Friday night against the Giants.

Cashner showed some positive signs in his first start of the season last Saturday, striking out five batters and issuing only one walk over four innings in San Francisco. He should be allowed to go five or six innings on Friday when he takes on the Giants at home and is worth rostering right now in deep mixed fantasy leagues.

Padres manager Bud Black expects Andrew Cashner to join the team's rotation at some point this season.

"We like the fact he is healthy," Black said of Cashner. "The thumb is not an issue. He is throwing the ball well. He could be in the rotation or the pen, but the long-term plan is as a starter. The velocity was good today, the changeup was good." With Cashner being limited to 15 1/3 innings in 2011 and 69 2/3 innings in 2012, he wasn't going to stay in the club's rotation all season, anyway. This way, he'll be eased into things and join the starting five when a need arises. He's a good guy to stash on your bench if you have room.

Corey Brock of MLB.com reports that the Padres are expected to name Tyson Ross the No. 5 starter over Andrew Cashner.

Cashner is still expected to be on the Opening Day roster, but it will be as a reliever. It's a bummer for fantasy purposes, as Cashner held plenty of appeal as a late-round mixed league flier. Ross is also worthy of some single-league format consideration.

Andrew Cashner allowed two earned runs over four innings Tuesday in the Padres' loss to the Giants.

Cashner is fully recovered from his offseason thumb injury and could be available for his first turn in the regular-season rotation. The hard-throwing right-hander is a worthwhile flier in mixed fantasy leagues.

Padres manager Bud Black said it will be a "close call" as to whether or not Andrew Cashner (thumb) will be ready for the start of the season.

Cashner's thumb doesn't bother him anymore, and he's looked good this spring, but he might not have built up enough stamina by the time Opening Day arrives. It might make sense to play it safe and hold him out until mid-April. The hard-throwing right-hander has plenty of fantasy upside if he can stay healthy.

Andrew Cashner struck out four while allowing one run over 2 2/3 innings against the Giants Wednesday.

He gave up three hits and walked one. Cashner now has a 3.00 ERA and has struck out over a batter per inning this spring, but he's tallied only six innings. Despite the low inning total, the right-hander remains confident that he'll be ready to roll at the start of the season. He has ample fantasy upside if he can stay healthy.

Andrew Cashner yielded one run over 2 1/3 innings Friday against the Dodgers.

Cashner gave up three hits and a walk while striking out two. He threw 23 out of 35 pitches for strikes and topped out at 97 mph range with his fastball. While he entered camp as a question mark following surgery on his right thumb, there's still enough time for him to get stretched out for the start of the season. If he can stay healthy, there's big upside in fantasy leagues.
