Greinke allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven innings, but received no decision Saturday against the Rockies.

Greinke allowed a pair of runs in the third inning, but otherwise kept the Rockies bats silent. Failing to receive much offensive support, though, he left the game in a 2-2 tie. After a rough start to the season, he's now allowed two or fewer earned runs in three of his last four starts to lower his ERA to 5.50. He'll make his next start Friday in Atlanta.

Eickhoff allowed three runs on six hits over six innings Saturday. He struck out four and did not walk a batter.

Eickhoff was touched up for seven runs in his last start, so Saturday was a step in the right direction. He is now 1-3 with a 4.15 ERA and a 32:5 K:BB in 30.1 innings. He will face the Cardinals at home in his next start.

DeGrom improved to 3-0, allowing three runs - none earned - on two hits and four walks while striking out five over six innings against the Giants on Saturday,

DeGrom didn't have his best stuff but benefitted from New York six runs early against Matt Cain. His velocity is still mainly in the 93 mph but was able to hit 95 mph on the gun a few times when needed. Despite an uneven month due to his lat injury and issues with his newborn, deGrom still posted a 1.02 ERA.

Maeda will make his next start Friday against the Blue Jays, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

According to McCullough, the Dodgers wanted to use Maeda for Friday's contest in order to avoid using lefty Alex Wood against Toronto's right-handed power hitters. Maeda has been nothing short of impressive in his first major league season, notching a 1.41 ERA across his first five starts.

DeSclafani felt discomfort in his side during Friday's rehab start with Low-A Dayton, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

According to manager Bryan Price, DeSclafani reported some "sensation" in his side as he got deeper into Friday's outing. The skipper added that the Reds are doing "everything we can to avoid a setback" and "we're not going to push him through it." Those comments would suggest a return next week is unlikely for DeSclafani, but nothing is set in stone at this time.

Davies (0-3) gave up six hits, four earned runs and three walks over five innings in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins. He struck out five.

The 23-year-old's forgettable start to the season continued, with Davies giving up at least four runs for the third time in his three trips to the mound. A complete lack of run support by his teammates versus the Marlins' Adam Conley certainly didn't help, as the Brewers found themselves completely blanked until the final frame. Davies didn't help his cause by frequently missing the strike zone, throwing only 54 of his 92 pitches for strikes. He's generated a 10:7 K:BB ratio on the season over 13.1 innings, and will try to right the ship in his next start on Wednesday against the Angels.

Scahill was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

Scahill spent just over two weeks with the Pirates, but he'll return to Indianapolis, where he began the season, with Jared Hughes (lat) returning from the disabled list. In six innings with Pittsburgh, Scahill amassed a 6.00 ERA, allowing six hits and four earned runs.

Hendricks' next start will pushed back to Thursday after Saturday's start was rained out, affording the Cubs an unforeseen off day, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.

He was scheduled to pitch in the Cubs' first series next week against the Pirates, but the Cubs can now push him back to Thursday against the Nationals, while getting Jason Hammel, Jake Arrieta and Jon Lester to take the mound in the Pittsburgh series. There are not major fantasy ramifications from this move, but owners in leagues with daily moves should make note that Hendricks' next start date has changed.

Teheran was scheduled to start Saturday's matchup against the Cubs, but the game has been rained out. His start will be pushed back to Sunday, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan reports.

Teheran will simply be pushed back a day, while the Braves haven't yet announced who will take the hill for Monday's series opener against the Mets. Last time out, Teheran struck out eight and allowed six hits and one earned run in seven innings against the Red Sox.

Wood allowed one run on five hits and one walk while striking out nine over seven innings in a no-decision against the Padres on Friday.

Wood only received a single run of offensive support. He's been inconsistent so far, as he's allowed at least five runs in three of his outings, but only one run in both of his other two starts. Overall, he has a 4.82 ERA to go along with a 1.54 WHIP. He'll make his next start Friday in Toronto.
