Keller (8-3) took the loss against Milwaukee on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven batters over five innings.

Keller yielded a pair of two-run innings, which was enough to send him to defeat in a game during which Pittsburgh couldn't push any runs across the plate. The right-hander has given up four or more runs in four of his past five starts after doing so only once through his initial 10 outings. The rough stretch has pushed his season ERA to 3.62 after it sat at 2.44 less than a month ago. Keller is still racking up strikeouts -- he's fanned at least seven all but once during the recent downturn -- so it's likely wise to stick with him in most fantasy formats to see if he's able to turn things around. He's tentatively lined up for a road start in Miami his next time out.

Wood (back) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list by the Giants on Saturday

Wood comes off the injured list to make a start against the Dodgers on Saturday. The southpaw spent the minimum time on the IL with his back strain, and he returns to a 4.80 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over 30 innings and eight appearances -- seven of which have been starts.

Miley (4-2) earned the win over Pittsburgh on Saturday, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out four batters over five scoreless innings.

Miley missed a month on the injured list due to a lat strain before being activated Saturday. The left-hander didn't seem to miss a beat, allowing just four baserunners over five breezy frames. Miley would have likely gone deeper if not for the lengthy layoff -- he threw just 77 pitches and retired 11 of the final 14 hitters he faced before getting the hook. The veteran hurler stuck around just long enough to get the win, his first since April 22.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Sheehan will remain in the big-league rotation for at least one more start, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Sheehan could hardly have done better in his MLB debut Friday, as he tossed six no-hit innings Friday in a no-decision. Julio Urias (hamstring) and Noah Syndergaard (finger) are working back from the injured list, but Sheehan will have time to make at least one more start before his job is threatened. Per Eric Stephen of SBNation.com, he'll be given extra rest prior to that start, so he'll get ball during the weekend series against the Astros.

Urias (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Urias also threw a bullpen session Tuesday, making Saturday his second since suffering a setback last week. He figures to begin a rehab assignment in the minors within the next few days before rejoining the Dodgers' rotation. The 26-year-old lefty has been on the IL since May 22.

The Marlins placed Cabrera on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder impingement, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cabrera had a tough time during his last start Tuesday against Seattle, allowing five runs over four innings and taking the loss. His injury will force him to miss multiple turns through the Marlins' rotation, and it's unclear if he will require longer than a minimum IL stint. Huascar Brazoban was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

The Phillies recalled Sanchez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Sanchez will be making his second major-league start of the season Saturday against Oakland. The 26-year-old lefty surrendered three earned runs on five hits while striking out five batters over the course of 4.1 frames in his first start against the Rockies in April. He also holds a 1.50 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across his last three minor-league starts, so it's possible his momentum carries over into the bigs. Luis Ortiz was optioned to Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

The Brewers reinstated Miley (lat) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

A left lat strain forced Miley onto the injured list May 17, and the 36-year-old lefty will return exactly one month later to start against the Pirates. Miley holds a 7.82 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with just five strikeouts through 12.2 innings across his last three starts. To make room for Miley on the active roster, the Brewers optioned Tyson Miller to Triple-A Nashville.

The Cubs reinstated Steele (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Saturday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Steele landed on the injured list June 3 (retroactive to June 2) and will return to the mound Saturday against Baltimore after a minimum IL stint. Overall, Steele has been solid all season; however, he's been rather inconsistent as of late, allowing five earned runs in two of his last four starts while shutting out opponents during the other two.

Williams did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against the Marlins. He struck out two.

Williams tied his season high with five runs allowed and walked at least three batters for the fourth time over his past five outings. He's also given up a home run in six straight starts and eight total during that stretch. Overall, the right-hander holds a 4.50 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB across 14 appearances (70 innings). Despite his struggles, Williams remains a steady piece of Washington's rotation and is scheduled to pitch again during a three-game series versus the Cardinals.
