Trevor Cahill

Former big league right-hander Trevor Cahill has retired from baseball.

Fantasy Impact

Cahill hasn't appeared in the big leagues since the 2021 season and most recently appeared with the independent Atlantic League's Gastonia Ghost Peppers on July 2. He will end his comeback bid and retires with a career 4.26 ERA across 361 appearances (233 starts) in the big leagues.

Trevor Cahill (1-5) was removed from Wednesday's start against the Cardinals with left calf discomfort. Before exiting, Cahill allowed four runs on two hits and two walks in one inning. He struck out two in the loss.

Fantasy Impact

Thee 33-year-old loaded the bases in the second inning before leaving the game with an athletic trainer. He seems to have avoided a serious injury, though it's uncertain whether he'll be able to make his next start. Cahill owns a 6.81 ERA and 1.49 WHIP across 35.2 innings, striking out 29 batters in those frames.

Trevor Cahill did not factor in the decision Wednesday against the Reds, allowing one run on three hits and no walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out one.

Fantasy Impact

Cahill was pretty effective on Wednesday, only allowing a solo homer to Mike Moustakas in the second inning. He kept hitters off balance, but did not generate many whiffs. Overall, Cahill sports a 5.97 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and and a 27:9 K:BB in 34.2 innings. He'll take the ball every fifth day for the Pirates, but isn't an intriguing fantasy option.

Trevor Cahill (1-4) took the loss Friday against the Cubs. He allowed three runs (two earned) on eight hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out two.

Fantasy Impact

Cahill was outdueled by Zach Davies, who threw seven scoreless innings for the home club. This was really a stereotypical start for Cahill: a few runs allowed, scattering hits across five frames. In that sense, he's terribly uninteresting for fantasy, and shouldn't be on your radar. He owns a 6.75 ERA and 26:9 K:BB in 29.1 innings this season.

Trevor Cahill (1-3) took the loss Saturday against the Cardinals, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

Fantasy Impact

Cahill allowed four runs in the top of the first, and while he was able to steady the ship and get through 5.1 innings, the damage had been done. The veteran right hander has an ugly 7.40 ERA to go along with a 24:8 K:BB. He's an absolute desperate play in fantasy leagues at this point.
