Henry allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings in a no-decision versus the Guardians on Saturday.

Henry had given up five runs in each of his last two starts before this quality start. Andres Gimenez had a solo home run and a bases-loaded walk to account for the runs on Henry's line. While he went a third straight outing without a win, the southpaw trimmed his ERA to 4.66 with a 1.39 WHIP and 36:22 K:BB over 56 innings across 11 appearances (10 starts). Henry's lined up for a road start in Washington next week.

Wood (2-1) allowed three hits and struck out four without walking a batter over five shutout innings to earn the win Saturday over the Dodgers.

Wood had a minimal stay on the injured list with a back strain. The game was close for the bulk of the time he was pitching, and he did his part by throwing 47 of 67 pitches for strikes against his former team. The Giants' offense took over from the fifth inning onward. Wood now has a 4.11 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB through 35 innings across nine outings (eight starts). He may still need a couple more turns through the rotation to build up his pitch count. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Padres.

Miller (3-1) allowed seven runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Giants.

Miller was fine until the fifth inning, and the Giants then proceeded to put it in overdrive over the fifth and sixth frames. Prior to Saturday, Miller had given up just two runs over 23 innings across four starts. The rookie right-hander's bad outing spiked his ERA up to 2.83 with a 1.01 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB through 28.2 innings. It's just a blip on the radar for now, and the hard-throwing 24-year-old will look to bounce back next week at home against the Astros.

Snell (3-6) allowed two hits and three walks while striking out 12 over six shutout innings to earn the win Saturday over the Rays.

Snell's excellent stretch continued for a fifth straight start, and this one came against his old team. Over his last 30 innings, the southpaw has allowed just two runs while posting a 45:13 K:BB. He's had 12 strikeouts in each of his last two starts, and he's enjoying some of his best pitching in years. Saturday's gem lowered his ERA to 3.48 with a 1.29 WHIP and 93:40 K:BB through 75 innings over 14 starts. Snell's next outing is projected to be on the road in San Francisco next week.

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.
