Gomber is listed as the Rockies' starting pitcher in Wednesday's season finale against the Dodgers.

Gomber opened the season as a member of Colorado's rotation, but he was moved to the bullpen following the All-Star break and has thus far been serving as a reliever during the second half. He'll get the chance to finish the season as a starter while the Rockies are short on available arms, but Gomber likely won't be counted on to provide much length. He hasn't recorded more than 10 outs in any of his relief outings over the past month.

Heaney (4-4) took the loss during Tuesday's 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Rockies, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out seven in four relief innings.

Heaney entered a tie game in the sixth inning and went the distance, surrendering a Randal Grichuk two-run home run in the seventh and another run on two hits in the ninth in the process. The poor showing continued a recent feast-or-famine trend for the 31-year-old, as he's now held the opposition to no more than one run or permitted at least three runs three times apiece in his last six appearances. Heaney concludes an injury-plagued 2022 with a 3.10 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 110 strikeouts in 72.2 innings across 14 starts and 16 games.

Urias didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Colorado, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with four strikeouts in five innings.

Urias fell behind early thanks to Brendan Rodgers and Sean Bouchard solo shots in the game's first three innings, but Los Angeles rebounded to erase him from the ledger. The 26-year-old ends the campaign with three straight no-decisions, though he still managed to limit the opposition to no more than two runs in all 13 of his second-half starts. Urias' 2.16 ERA ranks second in MLB behind Justin Verlander, while his 0.96 WHIP places him sixth. He also has 166 strikeouts in 175 innings across 31 starts.

Strider (oblique) had no issues while throwing on flat ground Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

The 23-year-old had been shut down from throwing due to the oblique strain since his last start Sept. 18, but he's now been cleared to start up a throwing program. Strider remains without an official return timeline, though he seems unlikely to make enough progress within the next week to be available for the start of the NLDS.

Feltner (4-9) earned the win during Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Dodgers, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings.

Feltner was granted an early two-run lead but gave it back by surrendering one run on three baserunners in the third inning and a Joey Gallo solo home run in the fifth. Colorado retook the lead in the seventh to put the 26-year-old in line for only his second win in his last 10 turns compared to six losses, while the quality start is his fourth in 19 tries. He concludes his rookie campaign with a high 5.83 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with 84 strikeouts in 97.1 innings across 20 appearances (19 starts).

Manager Dave Roberts said May (back) is scheduled to throw against hitters Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander was only briefly shut down from throwing after he landed on the injured list with lower-back tightness Sept. 24, and his return to facing hitters should be one of the final steps in his rehab program. However, Roberts said May isn't guaranteed a spot on the Dodgers' roster for the NLDS, even if he's healthy for the start of the series next week.

Cobb (7-8) took the loss during Tuesday's 6-2 defeat at the hands of the Padres, allowing one run on seven hits with seven strikeouts in five innings.

Cobb kept San Diego in check aside from one run on two hits in the third inning and departed with the game at a manageable 1-0 deficit; however, the bullpen surrendered four runs in the sixth to cement his second loss in three starts. The 34-year-old induced an impressive 16 swinging strikes on just 73 pitches to post his 11th start with at least seven strikeouts, easily surpassing his previous career high of seven such starts set in 2013. He finishes the season with a 3.73 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with 151 strikeouts in 149.2 innings across 28 starts.

Suarez (10-7) allowed six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two over three innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Astros.

Suarez received virtually no support, as the Phillies didn't record a hit until the ninth inning. The southpaw also yielded three home runs over the first two innings to account for all six runs on his line. Suarez had put up quality starts in his three most recent starts before the poor ending to his season. He record a 3.65 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 129:58 K:BB across 155.1 innings through 29 starts this year, his first as a full-time starter.

Gallen (12-4) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over five innings against the Brewers. He struck out six.

Gallen was not at his best Tuesday as he allowed two home runs for the only the second time this season and completed fewer than six innings for just the second time in his last 11 starts. The three walks allowed also tied his season high. Despite the rough go to end the year, his season was one to remember. He wraps up the campaign with a 2.54 ERA and 192 strikeouts over 184 innings.

Lauer (11-7) earned the win Tuesday, allowing no hits and four walks over six scoreless innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out seven.

In his last start of the season, Lauer turned one of his best, as he did not allow a hit for the first time in 2022. Despite the no-hit possibility, the southpaw was pulled after six innings, as he walked four batters and his pitch count ran up to 97.
