Berrios allowed five hits and three walks while striking out four across 5.2 scoreless innings Saturday against the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision.

Berrios didn't allow an extra-base hit but was unable to complete six innings as the Athletics fouled off 31 of his offerings. Nonetheless, it was a positive outing for Berrios as he had allowed three earned runs in each of his past three starts -- only one of which went beyond five frames. He now owns a 2.96 ERA and 1.15 WHIP while striking out 114 across 127.2 innings this season. He'll look to build off this effort in his next start, currently scheduled for Thursday on the road against the White Sox.

Canning allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over five innings Saturday. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision in a win over the Mariners.

Canning allowed runs in the second and third innings, but otherwise kept it tidy. It was a solid bounce-back performance for the rookie right-hander, who failed to complete two innings in his previous start. Canning owns a 4.67 ERA and 77:24 K:BB in 71.1 innings this season. He'll take a 3-4 record into his next start versus the lowly Orioles on Thursday.

Giolito allowed one run on seven hits with one walk and nine strikeouts across 6.2 innings in a no-decision against the Rays on Saturday.

The 25-year-old couldn't quite record the last out of the seventh, and because of the solo shot he yielded in that frame, Giolito was in line for the loss when he departed. James McCann's homer in the ninth tied the game and prevented that from happening. Giolito is 11-4 with a 3.12 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 134 strikeouts in 112.2 innings. He is due to start next at home against the Twins on Thursday.

Urquidy (1-0) picked up the win in Saturday's 5-1 victory over the Rangers, giving up one run on two hits over seven innings while striking out nine.

After two fairly rough appearances to begin his big-league career, Urquidy was dazzling in this one, with only Shin-Soo Choo's solo shot in the fourth inning accounting for any damage against the rookie. The outing was likely enough to earn him at least one more turn through the rotation, which would come next weekend in St. Louis if Urquidy does stick around.

Bundy (knee) is officially scheduled to start Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Bundy expected to miss just one start when he landed on the 10-day injured list with right knee tendinitis last Saturday, and he should be able to do so. He's had a rough time in his last four outings, giving up 17 runs in 17 innings, though at least some of that can likely be attributed to the knee issue.

Lynch (arm) will began a rehab assignment in the Arizona League soon, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Lynch has been out with arm soreness since early June. He's recently finished going through a throwing progression and should be pitching in games shortly.

Mejia was claimed off waivers by the Angels and added to the team's big-league roster Saturday.

After being primarily a starter for most of his professional career, Mejia had pitched exclusively out of the pen in 15.1 innings for the Twins this season. The change of roles has not treated him well, as he owns an awful 8.80 ERA and a 16.9 percent strikeout rate. It's not yet known whether the Angels will leave in him in the bullpen or transition him back to a starting role.

Heaney landed on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation Saturday.

The move was backdated to Wednesday, so Heaney will be eligible to return next Saturday after missing just one start. It's not yet clear whether or not he's expected to return after the minimum or if a longer absence is anticipated. The Angels have said that they don't expect Heaney to require surgery but haven't specified a timeline beyond that, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports. Adalberto Mejia was claimed off waivers in a corresponding move.

The Tigers placed Turnbull on the 10-day injured list Saturday with an upper-back strain.

According to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News, Turnbull picked up the injury while working out Friday, but it's not believed the setback is a major concern for the rookie. Manager Ron Gardenhire recently suggested that Turnbull's innings would be monitored more carefully in the second half anyway, so the IL move will at least offer the benefit of meeting that goal. Gregory Soto was recalled from Triple-A Toledo to take Turnbull's spot on the active roster, but it's expected that Tyler Alexander will be recalled from Toledo to replace the righty in Detroit's rotation Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Civale (shoulder) was activated from Triple-A Columbus' 7-day injured list Saturday.

Civale should slot back into the Columbus rotation after missing just under two weeks with the shoulder issue. The young right-hander shined in a spot start with Cleveland back on June 22 but may not be on track to rejoin the big-league rotation anytime soon with manager Terry Francona seemingly content with Zach Plesac and Adam Plutko as the team's back-end starters.
