The Orioles received encouraging news Thursday regarding right-hander Andrew Cashner, who had an MRI on his left knee that revealed no structural damage. But it’s still uncertain whether he will be able to make his next scheduled start Monday, further clouding a murky starting rotation situation over the season’s final three weeks.
The team already needs a starter for Sunday to fill in for right-hander Alex Cobb, who needs more time to recover from a nagging blister/cut on his right middle finger that forced a premature exit from Tuesday night’s start against the Oakland Athletics.
