Episode Details

Cade Cavalli looked like a no-hitter machine Saturday—striking out eight in four innings, echoing his dominant form from just two weeks prior—until right calf discomfort forced him out. X-rays were clear, and he described the feeling as a charley horse, suggesting a minor, non-serious issue. Manager Blake Butera said they’re monitoring him day to day, pulling him as a precaution to avoid risking his arm. Cavalli’s second half has been electric: a 1.83 ERA, 67 strikeouts in nine starts, and an even lower ERA in August. With the Nationals counting on him to finish strong and already surpassing his career innings total, this scare feels like a minor blip—not a derailment—for one of baseball’s most electric young arms.
