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.

Toussaint was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Saturday, Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealerreports.

Toussaint allowed two runs over 3.2 innings in a start Friday against the Diamondbacks where he took the loss. He's been removed from the active and 40-man rosters to clear space for Daniel Norris, who had his contract selected by the Guardians.

Houck suffered a facial fracture Friday against the Yankees but is back home and in stable condition, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Houck allowed one run in four innings Friday before taking a line drive off his head. He was taken to a local hospital for evaluation following the incident, where he was diagnosed with the fracture. He's yet to be officially placed on the injured list, but the Red Sox announced that his next steps and treatment plan will be announced after a follow-up appointment next week, so it seems as though an extended absence is likely in the cards.

The Guardians placed McKenzie on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right elbow sprain, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

McKenzie was scratched from his start Friday versus the Diamondbacks, and he's unsurprisingly headed to the injured list. There's no timetable for when the right-hander will be able to return, but he'll miss at least two weeks while recovering. McKenzie has only been able to make two starts so far this year, as he missed the first two months of the season with shoulder issues.

Urquidy (shoulder) will throw off a mound Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Urquidy has been out since the start of May as he battles shoulder inflammation. He's been throwing off flat ground for over three weeks but still isn't ready for a full bullpen session. His mound work Sunday is expected to consist of 20 fastballs thrown at less than full velocity.

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.

Schmidt's scheduled start Saturday against the Red Sox has been rained out, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader Sunday. Per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News, Schmidt will start the afternoon game, with Luis Severino on the mound for the nightcap.
