Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Pepiot will be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Wednesday's series finale with the Twins in Los Angeles, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Pepiot will be picking up his fifth start of the season for the Dodgers, stepping into the spot in the rotation that was vacated by Clayton Kershaw's (back) recent move to the injured list. Among the four Dodgers starting pitchers on the injured list, Dustin May (elbow) is probably the closest to returning, but Pepiot should at least get a second turn through the rotation if he's able to deliver a serviceable outing Wednesday. Over his previous four outings with the big club, Pepiot turned in a 2.76 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 19:12 K:BB in 16.1 innings.

Cobb allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven in five-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday.

Cobb gave up Juan Soto's first home run as a Padre in the fourth inning. In the sixth, Cobb put three straight batters on base and was charged with two runs in the frame as reliever Yunior Marte let an inherited runner score. This was a setback for Cobb, who had completed at least six innings in five of his last six starts. The right-hander owns a 4.15 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 100:28 K:BB across 93.1 innings through 18 outings this year. He's projected for a home start versus the Diamondbacks next week in the first of a likely two-step.

Musgrove allowed a run on six hits and a hit batsman while striking out four over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Tuesday.

Musgrove pitched well enough to win, but Josh Hader blew the save. The poor luck extended Musgrove's winless streak to eight straight starts, though Tuesday's outing counted as his fourth quality start in that span. The right-hander owns a 2.91 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 124:28 K:BB through 127 innings across 20 starts this year. He's projected for a favorable road start in Miami in what will likely be a two-start week.

Urias (12-6) earned the win during Tuesday's 10-3 victory over Minnesota, allowing one run on five hits with eight strikeouts in seven innings.

Urias had his best stuff working Tuesday as he tossed 72 of 90 pitches for strikes, with 16 coming of the swinging variety, and rolled to a stress-free win. The 25-year-old's 71 game score matches his best of the season with all three starts coming in his last three games, during which Urias has gone 5-0 with a 1.09 ERA across 33 innings. Urias' 68.8 strike percentage, 2.49 ERA and 0.97 WHIP all rank top 10 in MLB. He'll look to keep the momentum going next week in Milwaukee.

Mikolas (8-9) took the loss Tuesday versus the Rockies, allowing 10 runs on 14 hits while striking out two in 2.2 innings.

For context, Mikolas had allowed 11 runs in his previous 18.1 innings across three starts, and that was one of his less impressive parts of the year. The 33-year-old right-hander will probably want to forget this one as fast as possible, as his ERA spiked from 2.92 to 3.50 after the horrid start. He's also posted a 1.09 WHIP and 108:27 K:BB through 141.1 innings across 23 starts. Mikolas will look to get back on track in a key divisional matchup versus the Brewers this weekend.

Morton did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk over six innings against the Red Sox. He struck out seven.

Morton was a victim of the long ball Tuesday. Three of the six against him went for home runs, accounting for four of his five runs allowed. The veteran righty otherwise looked OK, as he walked just one batter and struck out seven while generating 12 whiffs. He carries a 4.26 ERA and 1.21 WHIP into his next scheduled start against the Mets next week

Feltner (2-3) allowed five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Cardinals.

Feltner wasn't sharp Tuesday, but he had plenty of support, as the Rockies were up 12-0 through three innings. The right-hander has given up at least five runs in four of his 10 appearances this year, including two of his four home outings. He owns a 6.02 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB across 46.1 innings through 10 appearances (nine starts). With Chad Kuhl (hip) on the injured list, Feltner is likely to receive at least one more start, tentatively scheduled for a home start versus the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Henry (1-1) earned the win during Tuesday's 6-4 victory over the Pirates, allowing one run on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts in seven innings.

It had been reported that Henry had adjusted the grip on his slider and curve and the results paid off -- albeit against weak competition -- as the only damage against the rookie lefty was a Michael Chavis solo shot in the sixth inning. The 25-year-old fired 58 of 88 pitches for strikes, with 11 of the swinging variety, en route to his first major-league win. Henry has surrendered five runs on 14 baserunners with six strikeouts across 11 innings through two starts. He tentatively lines up for another start this week in Colorado on Sunday.

Garrett (2-6) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on eight hits and zero walks over 4.2 innings against the Phillies. He struck out three.

J.T. Realmuto and Jean Segura both tagged Garrett for solo home runs, and the Phillies racked up eight hits total over Garrett's 4.2 innings. This was the first start all season in which Garrett did not walk a batter and the first time that he struck out fewer than seven in five starts, so perhaps he was around the strike zone a bit too much. He will looks to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for this weekend against Atlanta.

Wheeler (11-5) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over six innings against Miami. He struck out eight.

Wheeler was dominant again on the mound Tuesday, recording his fourth straight quality start and seventh in his last eight games. Additionally, Wheeler is now in the top 15 among starting pitchers in both wins and strikeouts as he continues to make his case as a true fantasy ace. The righty tentatively lines up for a tougher matchup against the Mets this weekend.
