Rea (elbow) was placed on the 15-day DL on Sunday.

Rea was an early exit from Saturday's contest due to elbow soreness, and now the newly-acquired asset will land on the DL after less than four innings as a Marlin. A specific diagnosis has yet to arrive, so until then, it's tough to determine how much time Rea could potentially miss. In the meantime, Nefi Ogando was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans to take his spot on the roster.

Anderson (6-10) allowed one run (no earned runs) on four hits, struck out seven and walked two over five innings in a victory over the Pirates on Saturday.

Andrew McCutchen, who reached on an error, scored Pittsburgh's only run off Anderson. The right-hander started by striking out the side in the first and set a new season-high with seven strikeouts. He was good, but this is also the eighth start where he failed to pitch into the sixth inning. Anderson has a 5.13 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 81 strikeouts in 100 innings.

Taillon (2-2) allowed two runs on six hits, struck out six and walked none over six innings in a loss to the Brewers on Saturday.

The only blemish on Taillon's night was a two-run homer in the first inning. Over the next four frames, the only base runner he allowed reached on a bunt single. Taillon threw 91 pitches, which was his most since returning from the disabled list. He is now 2-2 with a 3.52 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 37 strikeouts in 46 innings this season. His next start will be Friday against the Reds.

DeSclafani (6-0) pitched six innings, allowing one run, four hits and two walks while striking out six Saturday against the Padres. He did not factor in the decision.

Friday's no-decision makes up for the ugly win he received in his last outing when he allowed five runs in five innings. Regardless, DeSclafani continued his stellar season with his eighth quality start in 10 outings. The right-hander finished up July with a stellar 4-0 record and 37:6 K:BB in six starts (37.2 innings). He'll take an undefeated record and nifty 2.93 ERA into Pittsburgh for his next start Friday.

Teheran (4-8) surrendered three runs on five hits while striking at four over five innings in the Braves' 9-5 loss to the Phillies on Saturday night.

While the truncated started was likely precautionary -- the 25-year-old didn't return for the sixth inning after throwing just 86 pitches (56 strikes) -- Teheran didn't quite seem himself, as he struggled with precision, and his fastball idled in the mid-80s all night. Teheran has yet to come away with a win at home this season, despite a 3.08 ERA in 12 starts at Turner Field. He's scheduled to next take the mound in St. Louis on Friday.

Rea left Saturday's game in the fourth inning with right elbow soreness, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

He was cruising early in his Marlins debut, retiring 10 of the 11 batters he faced, but he left abruptly after striking out Jedd Gyorko to begin the fourth. Rea's being labeled as day-to-day for now, but that's probably tentative pending additional testing. The Marlins have options, including Jose Urena, Justin Nicolino and David Phelps, if Rea is forced to miss additional time.

Rea left Saturday's game in the fourth inning with an apparent injury, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

It wasn't obvious what was ailing Rea, but he signaled to the dugout after striking out Jedd Gyorko to start the fourth and promptly left the game. He was replaced on the mound by David Phelps. Rea was making his first start Miami after coming over from San Diego in a trade the day before.

Manager Chip Hale said Saturday that Greinke (oblique) will likely need another rehab start before returning from the DL, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

This hardly comes as a surprise as Greinke only threw three innings in his start for the Diamondbacks' rookie-level team Friday. He needs at least one more outing in the minors to further build up his pitch count, so a best-case scenario for Greinke's return would seem to be Aug. 9 against the Mets.

Teheran (back) has been confirmed as the starter for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

The Braves' ace had been dealing with some back issues dating back to his last start July 22 when he felt discomfort in his lat. After being given a few extra days rest, Teheran will be able to take the mound for Saturday's matchup with the Phillies.

Urena was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Saturday, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Urena's time with the big league club seemed to be drawing to a close, as the Marlins acquired rotation upgrades in Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea from San Diego this week, and Urena sealed his fate with an eight-run blowup against St. Louis on Friday. Urena will return to New Orleans for now and will probably find himself assigned to the bullpen upon his eventual return.
