Trevor Cahill

Trevor Cahill (1-5) was removed from Wednesday's start against the Cardinals with left calf discomfort. Before exiting, Cahill allowed four runs on two hits and two walks in one inning. He struck out two in the loss.

Fantasy Impact

Thee 33-year-old loaded the bases in the second inning before leaving the game with an athletic trainer. He seems to have avoided a serious injury, though it's uncertain whether he'll be able to make his next start. Cahill owns a 6.81 ERA and 1.49 WHIP across 35.2 innings, striking out 29 batters in those frames.

Trevor Cahill did not factor in the decision Wednesday against the Reds, allowing one run on three hits and no walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out one.

Fantasy Impact

Cahill was pretty effective on Wednesday, only allowing a solo homer to Mike Moustakas in the second inning. He kept hitters off balance, but did not generate many whiffs. Overall, Cahill sports a 5.97 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and and a 27:9 K:BB in 34.2 innings. He'll take the ball every fifth day for the Pirates, but isn't an intriguing fantasy option.

Trevor Cahill (1-4) took the loss Friday against the Cubs. He allowed three runs (two earned) on eight hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out two.

Fantasy Impact

Cahill was outdueled by Zach Davies, who threw seven scoreless innings for the home club. This was really a stereotypical start for Cahill: a few runs allowed, scattering hits across five frames. In that sense, he's terribly uninteresting for fantasy, and shouldn't be on your radar. He owns a 6.75 ERA and 26:9 K:BB in 29.1 innings this season.

Trevor Cahill (1-3) took the loss Saturday against the Cardinals, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

Fantasy Impact

Cahill allowed four runs in the top of the first, and while he was able to steady the ship and get through 5.1 innings, the damage had been done. The veteran right hander has an ugly 7.40 ERA to go along with a 24:8 K:BB. He's an absolute desperate play in fantasy leagues at this point.

Trevor Cahill (1-2) earned the win Saturday against the Twins, allowing one run on two hits and two walks across six innings. He struck out two.

Fantasy Impact

Cahill was commanding his pitches well and stymied a potent Twins lineup to earn his first win of the season. His lone blemish came via a Jake Cave double in the second. Overall, Cahill has posted a 7.11 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 19 innings. He lines up to face the Cardinals next, but he's far from a reliable fantasy option.
