Steele didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 3-2 win over Arizona, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts in six innings.

Steele submitted his best game by far, encountering trouble only when a two-out hit and error plated two runs in the fourth inning. The outing was the 26-year-old's first going more than five innings, and the 10 whiffs equaled his total from the last four games combined. Steele is slated for a rematch with Arizona next weekend.

Greene (1-6) allowed a run on no hits and five walks while striking out nine in 7.1 innings to take the loss Sunday against the Pirates.

Greene and Art Warren combined to throw a no-hitter during Sunday's matchup, but the pair walked the bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth inning before Pittsburgh scored on a groundout. As a result, the Reds became the sixth team in MLB history to lose while throwing a no-hitter. However, it was encouraging to see Greene bounce back after he had posted a 10.22 ERA and 2.27 WHIP in 12.1 innings over his last three starts. The righty will attempt to remain effective in his next start, when he tentatively lines up to face Toronto on the road Saturday.

Corbin (0-6) allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five in six innings to take the loss Sunday against the Astros.

Corbin held the Mets scoreless in five innings during his last outing and held the Astros without a run over the first four frames in Sunday's matchup. However, he gave up three homers over the next three innings and took his sixth loss in eight starts this season. The 32-year-old now has a 6.28 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in 38.2 innings to begin the year. Corbin tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Milwaukee on Saturday.

Musgrove gave up three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks over six innings during Sunday's 7-3 win over Atlanta in 11 innings. He had six strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

Atlanta tallied one run via a throwing error during the second inning, and the only runs Musgrove was responsible for in the contest came via a two-run home run from Dansby Swanson during the fourth frame. The right-hander otherwise held Atlanta to four singles, and he has yet to surrender more than two earned runs in any of his seven starts this season. Musgrove will carry a 2.20 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 47:6 K:BB into his next outing, which tentatively lines up for next weekend in San Francisco.

Wright allowed three runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks over 6.1 innings during Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Pares in 11 innings. He had nine strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

The right-hander surrendered six runs his last time out but bounced back Sunday by generating 14 swinging strikes on 86 total pitches. The Atlanta infield struggled defensively with three errors on the day, leading to two unearned runs for Wright, which may have also cost him a shot at the win. He's without a victory in his past three starts and has a 2.79 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 50:13 K:BB across 42 innings this season.

Woodruff (4-2) allowed three runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks over five innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over Miami.

Woodruff coughed up a two-run single to Payton Henry in the second inning after the frame began with an error. He was then taken deep for a solo shot in the third by Jorge Soler. The 6-foot-4 righty saw his season ERA drop to 5.35 through 33.2 innings, but he's given up five home runs over his last three outings. Woodruff will look to string together victories in his projected home start against Washington next weekend.

Megill was diagnosed with right biceps tendinitis Sunday after undergoing an MRI, and he will be shut down from throwing for a few days before being re-evaluated, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Megill landed on the shelf with biceps inflammation earlier Sunday, but the injury has now been clarified following the MRI. The right-hander will remain without a clear timeline for his return until he's cleared to begin throwing again.

Alcantara is starting Monday against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander initially lined up to start Tuesday's matchup, but he'll be pushed up a day after Jesus Luzardo (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday. However, Alcantara will be on normal rest since the Marlins had a day off Thursday. Over his last five starts, the 26-year-old has posted a 2.59 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 31.1 innings.

Ashby secured a four-inning save in Sunday's win over the Marlins. He struck out eight and did not allow a hit.

The lone Marlin to reach base during Ashby's four shutout frames was Brian Anderson; he got to first after striking out in the eighth inning. Ashby struck out a career-high eight batters and he improved his season K:BB to 33:17 through 27.1 innings. The 23-year-old could move back into the rotation next week unless the Brewers plan on using him in more of a long-relief role.

Manager Buck Showalter said Williams is likely to start Monday's game against the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander last pitched Wednesday and covered 3.2 frames in long relief, and he'll make a spot start Monday after originally-scheduled starter Tylor Megill (biceps) was placed on the injured list. Williams threw 51 pitches during that outing, so he'll likely need to be efficient to have a chance of sticking around for the necessary five innings to potentially pick up a win.
