Gonsolin (forearm) will throw a pair of rehab innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Beginning a rehab assignment gives Gonsolin at least a chance to return before the regular season, but it's unclear if there will be enough time for him to do so. If the team wants to build his workload back up with the goal of having him start games in the playoffs, he won't have time to complete that process before the end of the regular season, though he could still return in a relief role.

Henry was recalled as expected ahead of his start Friday against the Giants.

The rookie lefty has made seven starts this season but has yet to find much success. He owns a 5.50 ERA and 1.53 WHIP, striking out just 15.5 percent of opposing batters while walking 10.6 percent. Tyler Holton was optioned to clear space on the roster.

Ortiz is slated to start Sunday against the Cubs at PNC Park.

After holding the Yankees to two runs (one earned) while striking out five in five innings Tuesday following his promotion from Triple-A Indianapolis, Ortiz will be rewarded with a second straight turn through the rotation. The rookie now owns an 0.84 ERA and 0.84 WHIP through his first two big-league outings and will look to parlay a strong finish to the 2022 season into a spot in the Pirates' Opening Day rotation in 2023.

Corbin (back) played catch from 90 feet Friday and is beginning to feel better, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Corbin was forced to leave Tuesday's game against Atlanta early due to back spasms. If he continues to feel better once he throws again Saturday, he could rejoin the rotation and avoid spending time on the injured list.

Gore (elbow) will make another rehab start for Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Gore has made three rehab starts already in Triple-A while dealing with inflammation in his elbow, allowing just one run over 8.1 innings of work. Monday looks to be his longest outing yet -- up to five innings. Assuming this would be his final start in the minors, he would still be able to make his Nationals debut before the end of the season.

Peralta (shoulder) will start Sunday's game against the Reds, Will Aldrich of MLB.com reports.

He last threw two innings Sept. 8 and has been throwing off the mound for only a few days, so Peralta may not go deep enough to qualify for the win. If he stays on turn, he will line up for a final start next weekend at home against the Marlins.

Lauer (elbow) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list prior to Friday's start against the Reds.

Although Lauer is back in action after spending the minimum of 15 days on the injured list, he's expected to be on a pitch count during Friday's start. The southpaw struggled during his final start prior to landing on the IL, allowing seven runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four in 2.2 innings at Coors Field on Sept. 7.

Garrett will start Friday's game against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday and will step into the rotation for Trevor Rogers (lat). Garrett has a 3.68 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 75:19 K:BB across 73.1 innings this year and could make up to three starts, including Friday, down the stretch for Miami.

Overton (back) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Overton was on the injured list since late May but has been cleared to return for the final week and a half of the regular season. The right-hander recently made a pair of rehab starts at Triple-A Louisville and posted a 2.35 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 7.2 innings. The team had him build up as a starter in the minors, and he'll likely have a chance to start for the Reds early next week if he isn't used as a long reliever during the team's weekend series against Milwaukee.

Henry will be recalled from Triple-A Reno to start Friday against the Giants, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The 25-year-old will make his eighth start of the season for the Diamondbacks on Friday, filling the rotation spot of an injured Ryne Nelson (shoulder). Henry made his big-league debut in early August and has a 5.50 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 25:17 K:BB across 36 innings. It may only be a spot start for the left-hander since Arizona still has five healthy rotation options despite Nelson being on the injured list.
