Anderson (quad) hopes to make his next scheduled start Saturday, MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports.

Anderson was forced from his last start Tuesday in the first inning after being struck by a line drive, but he is hopeful to avoid missing any further action. A final call on his status will likely be made based on how he feels later this week.

Hill (hand) will throw a simulated game Thursday in Arizona, Andy McCullough of the LA Times reports.

Hill has been recovering from a blister since July 17, but the team is hoping that he'll be able to make his Dodgers debut during next week's series against San Francisco. More information regarding a definitive return date for Hill should be known after his upcoming workout.

Nola (shoulder) was moved to the 60-day disabled list Wednesday, effectively ending his season.

Nola was diagnosed with a sprained UCL, according to Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the move to the 60-day disabled list puts an end to his 2016 campaign. The Phillies don't expect him to need surgery and expect that he'll be ready for spring training in 2017. Going forward, Nola will rest four weeks before attempting to throw. Nola ends his 2016 season with a 6-9 record, 4.78 ERA, and 1.31 WHIP.

Martinez (11-7) allowed just one run on three hits, struck out seven and walked one in a 8-2 victory over the Astros on Wednesday.

The right-hander held Houston without a hit until the sixth when the Astros finally pushed across a run. He did have seven punchouts, but again, Martinez kept the ball down and recorded 11 groundball outs. He has at least 11 groundball outs in six of his last 10 outings. Martinez is now 11-7 with a 3.24 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 119 strikeouts in 144.1 innings this season.

Teheran (back) plans to come off the DL and start Friday's game against the Nationals, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan in Atlanta reports.

Teheran hit the DL on August 2 with a strained right lat, but after throwing five innings in a rehab start at Triple-A Gwinnett over the weekend, he's ready to return to the big league rotation. The right-hander holds a healthy 2.81 ERA on the season, but he's been slightly less effective in recent weeks, allowing 13 earned runs in 28.2 innings (4.08 ERA) since July 1.

After meeting with Dr. James Andrews, Rea has opted to get a PRP injection Thursday and forgo Tommy John surgery for now, the San Diego Union-Tribune's Dennis Lin reports.

It was previously reported that Rea was slated for Tommy John surgery, but he will try to pursue alternate means of getting back on the mound. After receiving the PRP injection in his elbow, Rea will rest for three-to-four weeks before beginning a throwing program, so he is still slated to miss the rest of the 2016 season. This will be a situation to follow into the offseason, as Rea could still end up needing Tommy John surgery, but he was going to end up missing all of the 2017 season regardless of whether he had surgery now or in three or four months.

Glasnow (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Tuesday without issue, MLB.com's Adam Berry reports.

Glasnow was removed early from his rehab start Sunday, but it appears the team may have simply been taking the cautious route, as he was able to throw again just two days later. Glasnow will throw another side session later this week, and if all goes as planned in that session as well, he will make another rehab start after that.

Solis was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday with left shoulder inflammation.

The move is retroactive to Aug. 16, so in theory he could return at the beginning of September, but that probably won't be the case, given the nature of the injury. Koda Glover was recalled from Triple-A to help provide bullpen reinforcements in the short term.

Velasquez says he hopes to make three or four more starts this season, Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The Phillies have not disclosed a specific innings limit for Velasquez. He is up to 113 innings this season after throwing just 88.2 innings last year. The Phillies have talked about going to a six-man rotation at some point which might allow them to keep Velasquez pitching a bit longer before shutting him down.

DeSclafani (7-1) pitched six innings, allowing two runs on seven hits and no walks Tuesday. He struck out six in the victory over the Marlins.

Dealt by the Marlins to the Reds at the 2014 Winter Meetings, DeSclafani picked up his 10th quality start and dealt a blow to his former team's wild card hopes on Tuesday. The right-hander got a scare when he twisted his left ankle while running the bases in the fourth inning. DeSclafani limped to the dugout, but was able to return and pitch two more scoreless frames to get back on track after losing his first game of 2016 in his previous outing. The 26-year-old DeSclafani, sporting an impressive 3.10 ERA, will take the hill Sunday against the Dodgers for his next start.
