BALTIMORE -- Orioles manager Buck Showalter remains optimistic that starter Andrew Cashner will miss only one start with a lower back strain, but the MRI results set to come back Wednesday will provide a little more clarity on the time frame of a return.
Showalter said he asked head athletic trainer Brian Ebel for an estimate of whether Cashner would be ready to return for his next start, and that chance is "very favorable, but then again, you could find something in the MRI that might make you look at that differently," Showalter said.
Cashner is on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to Saturday after his Friday start against Toronto.
