Cavalli reportedly felt sore the day after he started. He underwent an MRI exam, which showed a clean rotator cuff and labrum. Manager Davey Martinez was hesitant to say his season is over, but given how much time there is left, it wouldn't be surprising.
In his debut this past week, Cavalli was pounded for six hits and seven earned runs over just 4.1 innings of work. He also walked two and hit three batters. It was just a disastrous first outing and, to make it worse, it came against one of the worst offenses in the league in the Cincinnati Reds.
