Reds manager David Bell said Sunday that Greene's next start will be pushed to Friday against the Brewers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The right-hander was previously expected to start Tuesday versus Cleveland, but he'll get a bit of extra rest this week after throwing 111 pitches in each of his past two starts. Greene gave up nine earned runs in those outings but has a 3.61 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 84:32 K:BB over 77.1 innings this season.

Cannon is listed as the White Sox's probable starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The 23-year-old was recalled by Chicago and recorded a three-inning save Friday against Boston, and his next appearance will come as a starter. Cannon started in his three previous outings for the White Sox this season but struggled with 11 runs allowed and a 13:4 K:BB over 13.2 innings.

Oakland transferred Wood (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Wood landed on the 15-day IL in May 13 with left rotator cuff tendinitis. He had progressed in his rehab to the point of playing catch, but the 33-year-old southpaw still won't be on track to complete his throwing program until at least mid-July. Prior to the injury, Wood started in nine games, posting a 1-3 record with a 5.26 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB over 39.1 innings.

Ray (elbow) is on track to return around the All-Star break, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Ray made his second rehab appearance with the Giants' rookie-level team Saturday, striking out five without allowing a baserunner over two innings. The southpaw began his rehab assignment June 4, and he could have it extended beyond the customary 30 days since he is returning from Tommy John surgery. Ray will likely make some of his rehab appearances in the higher levels of the minors later in the assignment.

Henry was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The left-hander has a 5.40 ERA in six starts for Arizona this season but has been at Triple-A Reno since late April. Henry is a likely bet to see some innings behind opener Scott McGough in San Diego on Sunday.

Nastrini was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Nastrini has struggled in his six starts in the majors this season, posting an 0-5 record with an 8.39 ERA, 1.99 WHIP and 19:25 K:BB over 24.2 innings. The White Sox called up lefty reliever Sammy Peralta from Charlotte in a corresponding move, but it's not immediately clear whom the big club may turn to as a replacement in the rotation for Nastrini.

Winn (forearm) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Rangers on Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The right-hander landed on the shelf in mid-May with a forearm strain, but he'll rejoin the Giants' rotation after being sidelined for less than a month. Winn delivered three straight quality starts in April but struggled in his final three outings before going to the injured list with 17 runs allowed and a 5:5 K:BB over 8.1 innings.

Wicks (forearm) allowed one run on three hits across 3.1 innings of relief in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Reds. He walked one and struck out two.

Wicks made his first appearance since April 23 after sustaining a forearm strain in his throwing arm. After coming off the injured list Friday, the lefty was deployed in relief for the first time in the big leagues, as he had served as the team's fifth starter before he got injured. Rookie Ben Brown maintained his spot in the rotation Saturday but was lifted after giving up three runs over four innings, resulting in Wicks getting some extended work behind him. Brown has now been charged with eight earned runs over nine innings across his last two starts, potentially putting his spot in the rotation in jeopardy now that Wicks is back. If the Cubs don't decide to drop Brown from the rotation, Wicks could still have some fantasy value if he ends up working as a piggyback pitcher behind Brown in the latter's subsequent starts.

Waldrep had his contract selected from Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of his start Sunday against the Nationals.

The 22-year-old was previously announced as the starter for Sunday's series finale in Washington, and he's now officially been added to the MLB roster. Waldrep was recently promoted to Gwinnett from Double-A Mississippi and will make his big-league debut with just two career games under his belt at Triple-A. He's pitched well between the two affiliates this season with a 3.09 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 59:18 K:BB across 55.1 innings.

Anderson (5-6) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three over six innings to take the loss versus the Astros on Saturday.

Anderson gave up two runs in each of the third and fifth innings. He threw 60 of 90 pitches for strikes, but this was the first time in five starts he allowed more than one run. It was just the second time he's been on the hook for four runs this year. The southpaw is at a 2.63 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 53:33 K:BB over 82 innings through 13 starts in 2024. Anderson's surface stats look close to his career year from 2022, but his 4.70 FIP and .218 BABIP suggest he's been very fortunate in 2024. Given his high walk rate, Anderson is a risky pitcher to roster in fantasy over the rest of the season.
