Cueto (elbow) was activated from the 60-day disabled list ahead of Thursday's scheduled start against St. Louis, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

As expected, Cueto will make his first start since April 28 after recovering from an elbow sprain. He needed just two minor-league rehab appearances despite missing nearly two months, so it's likely that Cueto will be on a pitch count after working just four innings during his last rehab start at Triple-A Sacramento: he allowed no runs on four hits and one walk while fanning six. In a corresponding move, Kelby Tomlinson was sent to Triple-A.

Meyer was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Meyer was selected to the big club after Tayron Guerrero (back) was moved to the disabled list. Meyer figures to be used out of the bullpen and has made four appearances for Miami this season, posting a 3.38 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with three strikeouts across eight innings.

Paddack was moved up to Double-A San Antonio on Thursday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Paddack cruised through the High-A level, posting a 2.24 ERA and 0.90 WHIP over 10 starts with Lake Elsinore. In just 52.1 innings, he racked up a remarkable 83:4 K:BB after missing the entire 2017 season due to Tommy John surgery he underwent in August of 2016. Look for him to remain with San Antonio for the rest of this season.

Anderson (6-3) allowed just two hits and two walks through eight shutout innings and struck out nine in a victory Wednesday over the Giants.

Anderson is white hot over his last two starts, both featuring eight shutout frames against a division opponent (Los Angeles, June 29). He owns 17 strikeouts against three walks in that span. Zooming out, Anderson hasn't walked more than two batters since June 1 against the Dodgers, a six-start stretch in which Anderson owns a 2.18 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 41:8 K:BB. He'll take a 3.90 ERA into his next start Wednesday, another divisional affair against the Diamondbacks.

Corbin held the Cardinals to one run on six hits and two walks with six hits through six innings but was left with a no-decision Wednesday.

Corbin was on point, as he induced 13 swinging strikes in nine groundball outs in his third straight quality start. In that span, Corbin has thrown 20 innings with 23 strikeouts against just three walks with two runs allowed. His slider was particularly on point Wednesday, as it induced 10 swinging strikes on just 37 offerings. He'll take a 3.05 ERA into his next outing Tuesday against the Rockies.

Mikolas (9-3) allowed two runs on seven hits and four walks with three strikeouts through six innings in a victory Wednesday over the Diamondbacks.

Mikolas walked more than two batters for the first time all season, but it didn't slow him down at all. When Mikolas was hitting his spots, the Diamondbacks couldn't do anything with it, as none of their seven hits went for extra bases and they hit into 10 flyball outs. Mikolas continues to succeed with low strikeout numbers, as he'll take a 2.63 ERA into his next start Tuesday against the White Sox despite a 6.2 K/9.

Urena didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Rays, allowing three hits and two walks over five scoreless innings while striking out six.

The right-hander threw 46 of 78 pitches for strikes in his first start off the disabled list after recovering from shoulder inflammation, but Urena was denied a well-deserved win as the Marlins' offense didn't get on the board until the bottom of the sixth inning. He'll carry a 4.18 ERA into his next outing Monday at home against the Brewers.

Teheran (6-6) took the loss Wednesday as the Braves fell 6-2 to the Yankees, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks over five innings while striking out 10.

It marks the second time in four starts the right-hander has posted double-digit strikeouts, but despite that Teheran has been anything but consistent lately, giving up zero runs in two of those outings and 12 in the other two. He's also issued multiple free passes in nine straight starts, making him a risky fantasy play when he next takes the mound Tuesday at home against the Blue Jays.

Hill left Wednesday' game against the Pirates with neck tightness after sliding headfirst into home plate, Pedro Moura of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.

Hill was pitching well prior to the injury, allowing two runs in five innings, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out five. He's considered day-to-day, but given his injury history, the Dodgers may elect to be extra careful. If he doesn't need to miss a start, he'll next take the hill Tuesday against the Padres.

Anderson threw a quality start but did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Twins. He lasted 6.1 innings, allowing just one run on three hits and a walk while striking out five.

It was generally smooth sailing for Anderson, who faced the minimum through three innings and allowed just three baserunners through six. He left with one out in the seventh but did not get the win after Jeremy Jeffress allowed his inherited runner to score. The start drops Anderson's ERA down to 3.99 on the season, and he's allowed just a single run in each of his last three starts. He'll look to keep the momentum going Monday against the Marlins.
