Burns (4-1) earned the win against the Astros on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks with two strikeouts over six innings.

Burns allowed a solo homer in the fifth inning but otherwise kept the Astros in check despite issuing more walks than strikeouts. It marked the third straight quality start for the 23-year-old, and he's now limited opponents to two earned runs or fewer in seven of eight outings this season. He'll carry a 2.11 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 48:16 K:BB across 47 innings into a road matchup against the Guardians next weekend.

The Dodgers placed Stewart on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a left foot bone spur, Noah Camras of SI.com reports.

Stewart was cleared to make his 2026 debut Wednesday after opening the season on the 15-day IL while continuing to recover from right shoulder surgery that he underwent in September. He appeared in two games out of the bullpen for the Dodgers, tossing two scoreless and hitless innings while striking out three batters. Stewart is eligible to return from the IL in late May, though it's unclear whether he'll be ready by then. Blake Snell (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day IL in a corresponding move.

The Dodgers reinstated Snell (shoulder) from the injured list Saturday.

Snell will be making his season debut Saturday after landing on the injured list at the start of the season with a sore left shoulder. He had been originally scheduled for an additional rehab start Saturday after building up to 55 pitches during his last outing Sunday, so the Dodgers will likely limit his pitch count while he faces a tough Atlanta lineup. Brock Stewart (foot) was placed on the 15-day IL in a corresponding move.

Harper was removed from Saturday's game against the Rockies due to a migraine, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Harper was taken out of the game in the first inning before recording a plate appearance. If he ends up needing to miss additional time, Felix Reyes would be next up to start at first base for the Phillies.

Teng will start Sunday's game against the Reds, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Teng has largely worked out of the bullpen for Houston this season, accruing a 2.35 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with a 22:7 K:BB through 23 innings in 14 appearances (one start). Though he'll be drawing a start in the series finale in Cincinnati, Teng hasn't recorded more than nine outs in an appearance yet this season, so he'll likely remain in Sunday's contest for a handful of innings before turning things over to the bullpen. Cody Bolton could be a candidate to cover multiple frames in relief behind Teng.

O'Hoppe (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

After making significant progress in his recovery from a left wrist fracture over the past few days, O'Hoppe is now set to begin testing his wrist in a competitive setting. The Angels haven't specified how long the 26-year-old's assignment will last, but the expectation is still to have him back in the lineup by mid-to-late May.

Manager Will Venable said Saturday that Hays (calf) has resumed taking live batting practice and could begin running the bases next week, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.

Hays landed on the injured list Monday with a strained left calf, and running the bases will likely be one of the final hurdles he has to clear before returning to game action. It remains unclear whether the White Sox will send him out on a rehab assignment before activating him, but an updated timeline for his return may come out after he begins running.

Miller (oblique) will return from the injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Astros, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports

Miller has been on the injured list since the beginning of the season with a left oblique strain. He's made four rehab starts in the minors since then, allowing three earned runs and posting a 14:7 K:BB over 13.2 innings. He built up to just 61 pitches over five innings during his most recent outing at High-A Everett, so the Mariners may have him on a pitch count during his season debut in Houston. Seattle will go with a six-man rotation temporarily upon Miller's return, but Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports that he'll get piggybacked with Luis Castillo the following week during a series against the White Sox.

Vaughn isn't in Milwaukee's starting lineup versus the Yankees on Saturday.

Vaughn returned Monday from a lengthy stint on the injured list due to a hand injury. He started each of the Brewers' subsequent three games (once at first base and twice at DH) and went 3-for-11 with a homer, three runs and three RBI. Vaughn will get a breather for at least a portion of Saturday while Jake Bauers starts at first base and Tyler Black slots in at DH.

Benintendi was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners due to neck stiffness, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Benintendi is batting .320 since the start of May, but the White Sox will be without his services Saturday while he tends to his stiff neck. Randal Grichuk will fill in as Chicago's designated hitter and bat eighth.
