Athletics' Trevor Cahill (Achilles) in walking boot, return timeline unknown

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Trevor Cahill (Achilles) is "in a walking boot" and "unsure how long his recovery will take," writes Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

What It Means:

Cahill was scratched from his scheduled start last Saturday and put on the disabled list Thursday with a strained right Achilles tendon. Chris Bassitt has taken Cahill's spot in the Athletics' rotation for now.

Cahill was averaging 33.5 FanDuel points in eight starts this season with a 2.77 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 47 strikeouts, and 11 walks across 48 2/3 innings.
