Kelly (5-3) earned the win Wednesday, allowing zero runs on one hit and three walks over six innings against the Reds. He struck out five.

Kelly never allowed more than one baserunner in an inning en route to his fifth win. Wednesday's performance marked the right-hander's fourth straight quality start and his fourth scoreless appearance of the campaign. Across 12 starts and 65 innings, he sports a 3.32 ERA and 54:27 K:BB. Kelly's next start is tentatively scheduled for a rematch with the Reds in Arizona on Monday.

Gray didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Marlins, allowing six hits and a walk over five scoreless innings. He struck out six.

The right-hander dueled Miami ace Sandy Alcantara to a standstill for five frames as the two teams wound up doing all their scoring in the 10th. Gray tossed 69 of 101 pitches for strikes before exiting, continuing a hot streak that has seen him give up one earned run or less in three straight outings. He'll take a 4.33 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 69:29 K:BB through 62.1 innings into his next start.

Keuchel is not being considered for a start Sunday in Philadelphia, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo confirmed that Keuchel is not a candidate for Sunday's spot in the rotation, adding that the left-hander was on the taxi squad in the event of issues with COVID-19. Keuchel recently signed a minor-league deal with Arizona, which gives him a chance to work with his former pitching coach Brent Strom.

Bassitt (4-4) lasted only 3.1 innings against San Diego on Wednesday, allowing seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and two walks to take the loss. He struck out six batters.

Bassitt fell behind in the first inning and gave up an unearned run in the third, but the fourth inning was when things fell apart for him. The right-hander was hurt by an error behind him, but he also gave up three hits and a walk while retiring only one batter in the frame. This was Bassitt's shortest start of the season and marked the third outing during which he has given up at least five earned runs. His ERA swelled to 4.35 as a result of the rough appearance, which is on pace for his worst mark since he posted a 6.11 ERA across five games in 2016.

Senzatela did not factor in the decision against San Francisco on Wednesday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings.

Senzatela was knocked around for six earned runs over 5.1 innings in his previous start, so this was a nice response by the right-hander. He allowed only one run and went just long enough to finish with his first quality start since April 29. Senzatela isn't much of a fantasy asset given his 4.83 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and lowly 4.4 K/9 on the season thus far.

Wood allowed one run on five hits and no walks while striking out five over seven innings against Colorado on Wednesday, though he didn't factor in the decision.

Wood hurled seven innings for the first time this season and yielded only a third-inning run, but San Francisco's offense was unable to offer much run support. The left-hander thus stretched his streak of starts without a win to five, though he has given up more than three runs only once in that span. Wood is 3-5 on the campaign while compiling a 4.23 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 55:15 K:BB across 55.1 innings.

Matz (shoulder) has yet to throw off of a mound, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Matz was expected to throw side sessions Thursday and Sunday, but it appears those plans are now on hold after his setback. It was already determined the left-hander would need a rehab appearance, but he'll need to build back up a bit and begin a throwing program before that can happen. As such, Matz shouldn't be expected back until late June at the earliest.

Manager Buck Showalter said Megill (biceps) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday against the Angels, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Megill has been on the shelf with right biceps tendinitis for the past month, but he'll rejoin the Mets' starting rotation Friday in Los Angeles. The 26-year-old threw 3.2 innings during his lone rehab outing in the minors, so he'll likely have some workload restrictions in his first start back from the injured list.

Anderson (5-3) allowed two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five across six innings to earn the win Wednesday against Oakland.

Anderson allowed both of his runs in the fourth inning, but he otherwise took advantage of the soft matchup to end a three-start stretch during which he had allowed at least four earned runs. His struggles had primarily been caused by the long ball, as Anderson served up a pair of home runs in each of his last two outings. However, he kept the ball in the yard Wednesday and induced seven groundball outs. Anderson has a 4.53 ERA and 50:26 K:BB across 59.2 innings on the season.

Keller didn't factor in the decision during Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Detroit after giving up one run on four hits over six innings. He had seven strikeouts and two walks.

It was arguably the right-hander's best start of the campaign, as it's only the second time through 11 outings he's been able to complete six frames. Keller has pitched better of late with a 2.64 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB across his past four starts, but he still has a 5.26 ERA for the season. He tentatively lines up to face the Cardinals early next week.
