Teheran evened his record at 1-1 after tossing six innings and allowing one unearned run in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays. He scattered four hits and failed to strike out a batter while issuing no walks.

Three of the hits Teheran allowed went for extra bases, though one was a run-scoring triple off the bat of Kevin Kiermaier, who hit a soft flyball that was badly misplayed by Brewers outfielder Brian Anderson. Though Teheran hasn't pitched as well his 0.82 ERA and 0.82 WHIP through his first two starts with Milwaukee would indicate, he's been able to find the strike zone consistently and has eschewed hard contact for the most part. He's not making many bats miss, however; he's generated a poor 5.6 percent swinging-strike rate across 162 pitches over his two outings.

Davis (elbow) struck out six and allowed two hits and one walk over four scoreless innings in his first rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Albuquerque.

Davis was making his first appearance at any level in just over a month after the Rockies placed him on the 15-day injured list April 30 due to right shoulder inflammation. The 26-year-old was about as good as could have been expected in his return to action for Albuquerque, as he needed just 58 pitches to retire 12 hitters. The Rockies will likely want Davis to get a little more stretched out over at least one more rehab start before he's reinstated from the IL and moved back into the big-league rotation.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Thursday that Miley (lat/rib) could soon begin throwing bullpen sessions, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Miley was initially expected to miss upwards of eight weeks when he was diagnosed in mid-May with a posterior serratus strain around the left side of his rib cage, but he seems to be recovering at a fairly quick pace. "It's going really well," Counsell told reporters. "He feels great. We're trying to push this along with Wade and so far, all signs are good." The veteran southpaw might be an option again for Milwaukee's rotation before the end of June.

Mets manager Buck Showalter said Senga might pitch on four days of rest Sunday versus the Blue Jays, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Four days of rest is the normal schedule for most major-league starters, but Senga so far has been getting five days off between outings like he did in Japan. Showalter said the team will do some testing with the 30-year-old right-hander later this week to gauge his readiness. Sunday's game is at Citi Field, where Senga has flourished to a 1.20 ERA in five starts covering 30 innings. He carries a 6.12 ERA through five starts (25 innings) on the road. If he's held out until the following series, his next turn would be Tuesday at Atlanta.

Misiorowski posted a 1.00 ERA, 0.44 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB in nine innings over his last two starts with Single-A Carolina.

Misiorowski has been brought along slowly in his first full professional season, but he has steadily built up his innings, and his last two outings showed why he is thought of highly by prospect evaluators. Misiorowski turned 21 years old in April, so he will have a chance to move up the ranks at some point this summer.

Henry (3-1) hurled seven scoreless innings in a 6-0 win over the Rockies on Wednesday while allowing just two hits and walking two. He struck out seven batters.

Henry put together the best start of his young MLB career Wednesday evening. It was just the second time in 16 career starts he's managed to go seven innings, and he also tied his career high with seven strikeouts. The 25-year-old has notoriously struggled with his control, but he commanded the strike zone well and after the game said it was a big reason for his successful outing. Wednesday marked his first start without giving up a home run since May 6. Henry now sits at a 3.73 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 25:16 K:BB over 41 innings and lines up for a favorable start against the Nationals next week.

Wood (1-1) took the loss Wednesday, allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks across 4.1 innings in a 9-4 defeat against Pittsburgh. He struck out four.

Wood allowed season highs in hits and runs allowed while taking his first loss of the season. Since being activated off the injured list in mid-May, the left-hander has made five appearances (four starts) and holds a 6.30 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB during that stretch (20 innings). Wood's command has been shaky over his last two starts, as he's recorded eight walks and plunked two batters. He tentatively lines up to pitch in Colorado next time out.

Keller (7-1) earned the win Wednesday, allowing four runs on 10 hits and one walk across six innings during a 9-4 victory over the Giants. He struck out eight.

Keller allowed a season-high 10 hits, but he got plenty of run support and cruised to his seventh win. The right-hander has given up 10 runs over his past two starts (12 innings) after surrendering just 13 across his previous nine appearances (58 innings). His ERA has ballooned to 3.25, but he still holds a superb 1.08 WHIP and 93:17 K:BB across 74.2 innings. Despite back-to-back rocky starts, Keller remains the ace of the Pirates' pitching staff and will look to reclaim his dominant form in his next start, which tentatively lines up as a home start versus Oakland.

Nola (4-4) took the loss against the Mets on Wednesday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five batters over six innings.

Nola would have likely had better results if not for the presence of Mark Canha, who knocked in all four runs against the veteran hurler. There were some things to like about Nola's performance -- he allowed just one extra-base hit and extended his streak of pitching six-plus innings to nine games -- but he also tied a season high with three walks and struck out just five batters. The right-hander's ability to pitch deep into games has been an asset for Philadelphia, but his overall numbers are a drop off compared to last season. On the campaign, he's posted a 4.70 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 65:18 K:BB across 74.2 frames.

Carrasco improved to 2-2 with a win over Philadelphia on Wednesday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out four batters over six innings.

Carrasco was efficient in tossing 52 of 82 pitches for a strike over six frames, and the only run he allowed came on an Edmundo Sosa solo shot. The veteran righty picked up his second straight quality start, with each outing resulting in a victory. Carrasco struggled to begin the campaign, allowing 11 earned runs across 8.2 innings over his first two starts. He's been much better since then, yielding two or fewer runs in three of his subsequent four outings and completing at least five frames in each appearance during that span.
