Feltner was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

It was announced Friday that Feltner would start the first game of Saturday's twin bill against the Padres, and the Rockies made the move official prior to first pitch.

Clevinger was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list Saturday.

It's unclear if Clevinger tested positive for the virus, but regardless, he will not be available for either end of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

Heaney (shoulder) is expected to throw at least five innings for Double-A Tulsa in his next rehab appearance Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

Heaney has two rehab starts under his belt thus far -- both with Triple-A Oklahoma City -- and has thrown a combined 7.1 innings, allowing one earned run on four hits and no walks while striking out 10. He tossed 4.1 frames in his most recent appearance Thursday and is now set to go at least five innings Tuesday. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated that Heaney's next outing will be with Double-A Tulsa due to "logistics," but that doesn't change the expectation that it will be the left-handed hurler's final rehab appearance before returning to the big-league club as long as he doesn't experience any setbacks.

Peterson (3-0) picked up the win in Friday's victory over the Angels, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over 2.2 relief innings. He struck out three.

Entering the game in the fourth inning after Tylor Megill hit his pitch limit in his return from a biceps strain, Peterson inherited a 4-2 lead and made sure the Angels couldn't tie things up. The southpaw appears headed for a long relief role or even a return to Triple-A Syracuse now that the Mets' rotation is beginning to get healthier, despite a solid 3.00 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 32:18 K:BB over 36 big-league innings this season.

Meyer (elbow) threw a simulated game Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

It had been nearly a month since Meyer faced hitters, but he did just that Saturday. It's not entirely clear how close he is to pitching in a game, but his fastball sat in the 94-95 mph range during Saturday's session, so it should not be long at this point.

Megill didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 7-3 win over the Angels, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over 3.1 innings. He struck out four.

While his limited pitch count in his return from a month-long absence due to a biceps strain prevented Megill from lasting long enough to collect a win, he certainly appeared healthy as his first fastball clocked at 97.8 mph, and he topped out at 99.2 mph. The right-hander fired 64 pitches, 39 for strikes, before exiting and should get stretched out to something close to a regular workload in his next outing. Megill's 4.50 ERA on the year is somewhat deceptive -- toss out the start in which he got hurt, and he sports a 2.70 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 40:9 K:BB through 36.2 innings.

Gibson (4-2) went six innings in Friday's win against Arizona, allowing three runs on four hits while striking out four and walking three.

Gibson bounced back after a three-inning, five-run outing against the Angels last weekend with a quality start against the Diamondbacks. He threw 64 of 100 pitches for strikes. The victory was his first since May 8.

Gallen (4-2) lasted just 1.2 innings in a loss to the Phillies on Friday, allowing six runs (four earned) on seven hits, while striking out two and walking one.

This was a rough outing for Gallen, surrendering multiple runs for the fourth game in a row. He was pulled in the second inning after throwing 66 pitches. Although his season ERA sits at 2.95, Gallen's ERA in June is 7.04. The righty will have to make some adjustments to bounce back in his next appearance -- he lines up to face the Reds at home next week.

Musgrove (7-0) allowed four hits and two walks while striking out eight over six shutout innings to earn the win Friday over the Rockies.

Musgrove has limited opponents to only one run in his last 27 innings across four starts. The Padres' offense gave him plenty of support Friday as he picked up his seventh win in 11 starts. The right-hander continues to deal when he's on the mound -- he owns a 1.50 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 72:16 K:BB through 72 innings this season. He'll look to keep this run of dominance going on the road versus the Cubs next week.

Buehler was removed from Friday's game against the Giants after four innings due to right elbow discomfort.

Buehler was slightly more effective early in Friday's matchup than he had been recently, as he allowed three runs on four hits and no walks while striking out six in four innings. He was removed after throwing 70 pitches (43 strikes) over the first four innings, so it seemed plausible that the Dodgers simply wanted to give the right-hander a shorter start to help rebuild his confidence. However, the team ultimately revealed that he's dealing with an elbow issue. It's not yet clear whether Buehler's injury will force him to miss his next turn through the rotation.
