Cahill (0-1) was tagged with loss against the Padres on Thursday, allowing four runs on five hits with three strikeouts across three innings.

EDGE Analysis

Cahill gave up back-to-back RBI doubles to Mitch Moreland and Austin Nola in the first inning, followed by a solo home run to Manny Machado in the third. The 32-year-old threw 33-of-50 pitches for strikes and did not issue any walks but was lifted after the third frame. With Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) and Drew Smyly (finger) throwing simulated games in each of their rehabs, Cahill could be moved to the bullpen relatively soon. As of now, he's scheduled for a Wednesday contest at Seattle.

Cahill will start Thursday's series opener versus the Padres, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

With injured starters Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) and Drew Smyly (finger) having advanced to throwing simulated games in their respective rehabs, Cahill looked like he could be in danger of being moved to the bullpen this week, but the Giants will give the veteran right-hander at least one more turn through the rotation. Though Cahill owns an excellent 2.65 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over his five starts, San Francisco has been cautious with his usage, as he's reached the sixth inning in only one of those outings.

Cahill didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's contest between the Giants and the Diamondbacks. He allowed one run on two hits and two walks while fanning two across 2.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Cahill had left his previous start last Saturday with joint inflammation in his left hip, but he didn't have problems in this one -- although he only tossed 42 pitches (24 strikes) before giving way to the bullpen. The veteran right-hander has a 2.65 ERA in five starts this season, but he has pitched more than four innings just once.

Cahill (hip) will start Saturday against the Diamondbacks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

He left his start last Saturday with joint inflammation in his left hip, but he is apparently over the injury and ready to step back into the rotation. Cahill has a 2.51 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 18 strikeouts in 14.1 innings this season, but he has only logged five-plus innings once in four appearances.

Cahill's MRI revealed joint inflammation in his left hip, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cahill exited Saturday's start early as a result of his hip issue. It's unclear whether the injury will force him to miss any turns through the rotation, but the Giants have some flexibility since they have two off days before Cahill would take the mound next. If he's forced to miss additional time, Drew Smyly (finger) or Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) could potentially return from the injured list to take his place.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said that Cahill (hip) underwent an MRI after exiting his start in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

San Francisco has yet to receive the results of Cahill's MRI, but the right-hander looks like he could be in danger of landing on the injured list after experiencing discomfort in his left hip Saturday. If Cahill is shut down as a result of the hip issue, the Giants could remove him from the active roster and swap either Drew Smyly (finger) and Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) into the rotation. Smyly and Samardzija are currently on the IL, but both are set to face hitters Tuesday at the Giants' alternate training site and could be ready to return from the IL next weekend during the team's series versus the Diamondbacks.

Cahill exited Saturday's start against the Diamondbacks with left hip discomfort, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander allowed two runs on two hits with four strikeouts and two walks before leaving with the athletic trainer with one out in the fourth inning. The severity of the injury remains unclear, leaving Cahill's status for his next start up in the air.

Cahill was removed from Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks with an apparent injury, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old gave up a two-run homer to Christian Walker during the fourth inning and fell behind the next batter 3-0 before exiting with the athletic trainer. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, and Cahill should be considered day-to-day until the Giants provide more information.

Cahill allowed one run on one hit and two walks over 5.1 innings Sunday, fanning eight batters in the win over Arizona. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Cahill was absolutely dominant Sunday, but unfortunately, the Giants offense couldn't take the lead until he had already left the game. He kept the Diamondbacks quiet before yielding a sacrifice fly to David Peralta in the sixth inning. Cahill will carry a terrific 1.64 ERA into Saturday's rematch in Arizona.

Cahill allowed one earned run on four hits and a walk while striking out four across four innings Tuesday against the Angels. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Cahill's lone earned run came on a solo home run by Tommy La Stella, the second batter of the contest. However, he settled in to retire nine of the final 10 batters he faced. Despite his relative effectiveness, Cahill was limited to 65 pitches, depriving him of the chance to earn a win. With both Drew Smyly (finger) and Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) sidelined, Cahill appears to be locked into the rotation in the short-term. He is projected to draw his next start Sunday against Arizona.
