Berrios won't start Wednesday against the White Sox because the game was postponed due to rain, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

The Blue Jays will play a doubleheader with the White Sox on Thursday, and Berrios figures to pitch in one of the two games. Berrios holds a 6.19 ERA and 1.38 WHIP alongside a 20:3 K:BB through 16 frames across his last three starts.

Lynn won't start Wednesday against the Blue Jays because the game was postponed due to rain, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

The White Sox and Blue Jays will play a doubleheader Thursday to make up for Wednesday's game, and Lynn figures to pitch in one of the two contests. The 36-year-old righty has struggled heavily this season, accumulating a 6.72 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through 96 innings across 17 starts.

Detmers will start the Angels' final game of the first half Saturday against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

It's Tyler Anderson's turn, but the Angels are off Sunday and would rather have Anderson available in relief, if needed. The matchup for Detmers is a difficult one, but he's been on a roll over his last five starts with a 1.42 ERA and 43:10 K:BB in 31.2 innings. One of his outings during that stretch came against the Dodgers, as he blanked them for seven frames back on June 20.

Anderson will be available in relief for the Angels until the All-Star break, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The Angels need just two starters before the break and they believe Anderson is better suited for relief, if needed, than Griffin Canning or Reid Detmers. It's been a disappointing start to Anderson's tenure in Anaheim, with the lefty posting a 5.20 ERA in 15 starts.

France (4-3) earned the win Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over six innings against the Rockies. He struck out four.

France allowed the leadoff man to reach base in three of his first five innings of work and it finally cost him in the fifth, as he surrendered two runs on singles by Harold Castro and Jurickson Profar after walking Nolan Jones to open the frame. The right-hander would still make it through six innings for the seventh consecutive start, however, while going on to record his fourth win. France also has not allowed more than three runs in any game over that stretch and now holds a solid 3.26 ERA after Wednesday's outing.

Turnbull (neck) threw a 21-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Turnbull mixed in all of his pitches in what he deemed his first "real bullpen" session since he went on the injured list back in mid-May with a neck injury. "The neck feels fine," Turnbull said, "but it's building up arm strength and figuring out the timing. Doesn't feel too bad." There remains no timetable for Turnbull's return, but Wednesday's session was a significant step.

Javier will not make another start before the All-Star break, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Javier's next turn would have been Saturday, but he'll be held back until the second half. The Astros have not revealed any sort of injury for Javier, but rather this seems more designed to give him some extended rest given his struggles lately. Javier has put up a 15.19 ERA with a 6:6 K:BB over 10.2 innings covering his last three starts.

Houck (face) could begin exercises as soon as Friday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Houck had surgery on June 27 during which small plates were inserted into his right cheek to help with the swelling that occurred from the facial fracture. He is not yet eating solid foods and has lost "like seven pounds," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday. Houck will meet with a doctor Thursday, though, and a nutrition and exercise plan will follow. There's no timetable for Houck's return, but it's going to be a while.

Kansas City placed Greinke on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right shoulder tendinitis.

Greinke made an early exit from his start Tuesday against the Twins after experiencing shoulder discomfort and will be sidelined until at least July 20. He's a trade candidate for the Royals, so they'd certainly like to get him back in time to prove his health before the Aug. 1 deadline. The veteran righty leaves behind a 5.44 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 64:13 K:BB through 92.2 innings.

The Mariners selected Milone's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Darren McCaughan was optioned to Tacoma to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Milone ahead of the veteran lefty's second start of the season with the big club Wednesday versus the Giants. Over 50.1 innings at Tacoma this season, Milone has pitched to a 4.47 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 46:18 K:BB. He'll look to parlay a strong showing Wednesday into a longer stay as the Mariners' No. 5 starter until Bryce Miller (finger) is ready to return from the 15-day injured list.
