CINCINNATI — Cubs starting pitcher Andrew Cashner could be sidelined until after the All-Star break after aggravating his strained rotator cuff, which originally put him on the disabled list six weeks ago. An MRI exam Tuesday in Chicago revealed the same inflammation in the same spot as Cashner's first MRI exam showed in early April, prompting the Cubs to shut him down again and put his recovery process back at square one. Until feeling pain Monday while warming up for a scheduled extended- spring start, Cashner hadn't had a setback and was expected to start a minor-league rehab assignment sometime this weekend. "I feel real bad for him," "general manager Jim Hendry said." "He's worked real hard. His rehab's gone really well up to this point. Obviously, the main goal will be just to continue to get it right so [he can] continue to have a bright future." Cashner, the Cubs' first-round draft pick in 2008, debuted last May and was an effective late-inning setup man by the end of the season. He spent spring training building strength and stamina for the fifth- starter job and pitched well in his first start April 5 until being forced from that game in the sixth inning because of the shoulder pain. The Cubs are 2-9 behind fourth- and fifth-starters since Cashner and Randy Wells went on the DL at the same time. Three fill-in starters have combined for a 7.50 ERA, even after veteran Doug Davis' strong 51/3 innings in his Cubs debut Saturday. Wells pitched 32/3 innings (one earned run) in the first of two anticipated minor-league rehab starts Tuesday for Class A Peoria. He could be poised for a return to the rotation during the next homestand after a start for Class AAA Iowa on Sunday. -- 戀しくて 悲しくて 愛しさが つのった 切な想いを 重ね綴った 願いは今 あなたのもとへと 屆いていますか？ 夢見てた 色あせない 想い出綴った 心までは あなたに送れない 時間だけが通りすぎるよ --
