Steele (7-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits with one walk over five innings against the Orioles. He struck out four.

Steele held the Orioles scoreless until the fifth inning when Adley Rutschman took him deep to drive home Austin Hays and tie the game at 2-2. He would make it out of the inning without allowing any more damage, and the left-hander still managed to earn the win thanks to Chicago's offense immediately responding with a go-ahead run in the bottom of the frame. It was a solid performance for Steele in his return from a stint on the 15-day injured list due to a forearm strain, and he now sits with 2.71 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through 13 starts.

Greene (2-4) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks over six innings against the Astros. He struck out three.

Greene tied his season high with four walks and struck out less than four batters for just the second time this year, but he still posted his fifth quality start and earned his second win. The 23-year-old's 4.01 ERA could use some work, but his 97:27 K:BB through 67.1 innings is elite. He faces no competition for his spot in the rotation and will look to make it back-to-back quality starts next time out, which is lined up for a matchup against Atlanta.

X-rays returned negative on Sanchez's left hand after leaving Saturday's start against Oakland, and he's expected to make his next turn through the rotation, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Sanchez was hit in the hand/wrist area by a comebacker against the Athletics, and while he initially stayed in the contest, the left-hander exited after completing four scoreless innings. Sanchez should still be considered day-to-day, but it sounds like he'll be on the mound during the upcoming week, likely against the Mets on Friday.

Keller (8-3) took the loss against Milwaukee on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven batters over five innings.

Keller yielded a pair of two-run innings, which was enough to send him to defeat in a game during which Pittsburgh couldn't push any runs across the plate. The right-hander has given up four or more runs in four of his past five starts after doing so only once through his initial 10 outings. The rough stretch has pushed his season ERA to 3.62 after it sat at 2.44 less than a month ago. Keller is still racking up strikeouts -- he's fanned at least seven all but once during the recent downturn -- so it's likely wise to stick with him in most fantasy formats to see if he's able to turn things around. He's tentatively lined up for a road start in Miami his next time out.

Wood (back) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list by the Giants on Saturday

Wood comes off the injured list to make a start against the Dodgers on Saturday. The southpaw spent the minimum time on the IL with his back strain, and he returns to a 4.80 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over 30 innings and eight appearances -- seven of which have been starts.

Miley (4-2) earned the win over Pittsburgh on Saturday, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out four batters over five scoreless innings.

Miley missed a month on the injured list due to a lat strain before being activated Saturday. The left-hander didn't seem to miss a beat, allowing just four baserunners over five breezy frames. Miley would have likely gone deeper if not for the lengthy layoff -- he threw just 77 pitches and retired 11 of the final 14 hitters he faced before getting the hook. The veteran hurler stuck around just long enough to get the win, his first since April 22.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Sheehan will remain in the big-league rotation for at least one more start, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Sheehan could hardly have done better in his MLB debut Friday, as he tossed six no-hit innings Friday in a no-decision. Julio Urias (hamstring) and Noah Syndergaard (finger) are working back from the injured list, but Sheehan will have time to make at least one more start before his job is threatened. Per Eric Stephen of SBNation.com, he'll be given extra rest prior to that start, so he'll get ball during the weekend series against the Astros.

Urias (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Urias also threw a bullpen session Tuesday, making Saturday his second since suffering a setback last week. He figures to begin a rehab assignment in the minors within the next few days before rejoining the Dodgers' rotation. The 26-year-old lefty has been on the IL since May 22.

The Marlins placed Cabrera on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder impingement, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cabrera had a tough time during his last start Tuesday against Seattle, allowing five runs over four innings and taking the loss. His injury will force him to miss multiple turns through the Marlins' rotation, and it's unclear if he will require longer than a minimum IL stint. Huascar Brazoban was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

The Phillies recalled Sanchez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Sanchez will be making his second major-league start of the season Saturday against Oakland. The 26-year-old lefty surrendered three earned runs on five hits while striking out five batters over the course of 4.1 frames in his first start against the Rockies in April. He also holds a 1.50 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across his last three minor-league starts, so it's possible his momentum carries over into the bigs. Luis Ortiz was optioned to Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.
