Wade Miley - Leaves game with oblique tightnessMiley exited Saturday's game against the Pirates with left oblique tightness, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
ImpactThe lefty made it four innings, allowing three runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk while striking out three, before the injury forced him off the hill. It ended up being a disappointing two-start week for Miley -- he gave up seven runs (three earned) over three innings in Miami on Monday. This could end his season, though Miley's status for his next start is currently up in the air.

Drew Smyly - Plays catchSmyly (shoulder) played catch Saturday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.
ImpactSmyly was scratched from his start Wednesday against the Marlins due to shoulder fatigue but isn't expected to miss any more outings. Assuming his shoulder responds well, he should start Tuesday or Wednesday against the Phillies.

Justin Steele - Throwing bullpen SaturdaySteele (back) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
ImpactSteele has been sidelined for nearly a month due to a back issue but has been throwing bullpen sessions for two weeks. Although it's encouraging that he's continued to throw off a mound recently, it's not yet clear whether the southpaw will be able to return to game action over the final week and a half of the regular season.

Ke'Bryan Hayes - Dealing with lower back discomfortHayes isn't starting Saturday against the Cubs due to lower back discomfort, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
ImpactHayes is on the bench for a third consecutive matchup Saturday, but it's encouraging that he's served as a pinch hitter in recent days. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 25-year-old available off the bench once again, and he should be considered day-to-day for now.
