Asked about the struggling Cain's pitching status for Sunday, Evans said, "We're leaning toward giving the ball probably to Heston. We're continuing to talk through it, but that's probably a 'lean' at this point."
Evans indicated that Cain, who's 2-4 with a 6.15 ERA in 10 starts, can legitimately be placed on the disabled list. That would be necessary to recall Heston, who's currently with Triple-A Sacramento. Cain, a three-time All-Star, underwent surgery last August to remove bone spurs and chips from his elbow, then went on the DL this year with a flexor tendon injury that prevented him from making his season debut until July 2.
