The Rockies have called up Rob Scahill and sent Wilton Lopez to Triple-A Sunday.

Lopez was expected to head back down, but the team waited until Sunday to make the move. Scahill posted a 3.93 ERA over 34 1/3 innings in the minors.

Braves starter Julio Teheran was dominant at times Saturday, but got little help from the offense in a 3-0 loss to the Nationals.

Teheran struck out a season-high 10 batters in seven innings of work, and allowed only three runs on seven hits. Unfortunately, the margin for error was nonexistent as his offense provided no support in his five loss of the season. He allowed seven hits and a pair of walks on 107 pitches in the loss.  

Teheran fell to 6-5, and is winless over his last three starts, despite allowing just four runs over his last 15 innings of work. He still ranks seventh in the National League with a 2.41 ERA heading into his next outing, set for Friday in Philadelphia. 

Pirates pitcher Vance Worley earned his first win of the season Saturday after giving up three earned runs on five hits and one walk in 6 2/3 innings and striking out four in his team's 5-3 victory over the Cubs.

Worley (1-0) cruised through three innings before giving up a two-run home run in the fourth inning. The Cubs were able to scratch another run out in the seventh inning, but it was another solid effort for Worley after he spun seven scoreless innings in his season debut last Sunday. He owns a 1.98 ERA and 9:1 K:BB ratio in 13 2/3 innings going into Thursday's matchup with the Mets.

Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright earned his 10th win Saturday after giving up just one earned run on six hits in eight innings and striking out seven in his team's 4-1 victory over the Phillies.

Wainwright (10-3) is now the coleader in wins in the National League after posting his third straight excellent start. He has given up just three earned runs in 23 innings during his last three outings. Wainwright owns a 2.08 ERA and 98:21 K:BB ratio in 108 1/3 innings. He's on track to face the Dodgers Thursday.

Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels was saddled with a loss Saturday, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and five walks in 7 1/3 innings while striking out eight in his team's 4-1 defeat against the Cardinals.

Hamels (2-4) entered the eighth inning with the game tied 1-1, but he issued a walk and allowed a double to bring a run home before being removed. One of the other two runs in the eighth inning was also charged to Hamels, though it was an unearned run and didn't affect his ERA. He owns a 2.76 ERA and 84:29 K:BB ratio in 81 2/3 innings. Hamels is scheduled to face the Marlins Thursday.

Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom picked up the first win of his rookie season Saturday, giving up just five hits and three walks over seven scoreless innings while striking out seven in his team's 4-0 victory over the Marlins.

DeGrom (1-4) opened his stint with the Mets by tossing four straight quality starts, but he was unable to find a win in any of them. He then surrendered 13 runs in 15 innings over his next three starts before righting the ship Saturday. DeGrom owns a 3.75 ERA and 41:21 K:BB ratio in 48 innings.

What was expected has come to fruition - Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright is set to make his start Saturday night against Philadelphia.

Wainwright has been dealing with elbow inflammation that caused him to miss one start. He has been lights-out on the mound recently with six quality starts in his last seven. He is 9-3 this season with a 2.15 ERA and 91 strikeouts in 100 1/3 innings.

Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright is listed in the starting lineup Saturday.

Wainwright is dealing with elbow inflammation, but was expected to make his Saturday start. He'll take on the Phillies. Wainwright has a 2.15 ERA over 100 1/3 innings.

Mets pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard is not being considered for a promotion yet, according to the New York Daily News.

Syndergaard is likely to make his major-league debut at some point this season, but the team has not had any concrete discussions about moving him up at this point. Syndergaard has dealt with some injury issues in Triple-A, which have prevented him from putting up dominant numbers. His debut is still a few months away at this time. 

Rockies pitcher Christian Bergman made it through just three innings of work Friday, due to a hand injury suffered in a 13-10 loss to the Brewers.

Bergman struggled through his three innings of work, allowing seven runs on nine hits, including three home runs. Then, he had injury added to the insult, as manager Walt Weiss told The Denver Post he was removed after three innings due to swelling in his hand after he was hit by a line drive.

X-rays on the hand came back negative, but his status moving forward is obviously in doubt. Bergman's next start was scheduled for Wednesday against the Cardinals, but this injury could cause him to miss it.
