Garrett is slated to start Saturday's game against the Astros in Houston, FishStripes.com reports.

With Jesus Luzardo (forearm) and Cody Poteet (elbow) stuck on the injured list and Elieser Hernandez having been sent down to the minors, Garrett will take a second turn through the Miami rotation. In his season debut for the big club last Sunday against the Giants, he was dealt a loss after giving up four earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five in 3.1 innings.

Brubaker (0-6) took the loss Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over seven innings against Atlanta. He struck out seven.

Brubaker allowed an RBI single to Adam Duvall in the second and run-scoring knocks to Dansby Swanson and Travis d'Arnaud in the third. However, the right-hander was able to mitigate the damage and finished the seventh inning for the first time this season. Across 12 starts and 58.2 innings, Brubaker sports a 4.60 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP with a 60:26 K:BB. His next start is tentatively scheduled for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Feltner will be recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to start the first game of Saturday's doubleheader in San Diego, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Feltner was sent back to the minors last week after Antonio Senzatela returned from the injured list to reclaim his spot in the rotation, but Saturday's doubleheader creates the need for a sixth starter. The Rockies will end up turning to Feltner to fill the void after he submitted a 5.85 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB across 20 innings in his first four outings of the season with the big club.

Fried (6-2) earned the win Thursday, allowing one run on eight hits and zero walks over six innings against Pittsburgh. He struck out eight.

Fried allowed singles to three of the first four Pirates hitters, but he escaped the inning without giving up a run by striking out the side. The left-hander's only blemish on the night came on a Jack Suwinski solo home run in the fourth, but Fried got his revenge in the sixth by striking Suwinski out to end his night. Thursday's performance marked Fried's third consecutive outing giving up one or fewer runs, while his eight strikeouts tied his season high. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday's contest in Washington.

Mikolas (4-4) allowed two earned runs on three hits with nine strikeouts and no walks across eight innings to take the loss Thursday against the Rays.

Mikolas allowed both of his earned runs on a home run by Ji-Man Choi in the fourth inning, which stuck him with the tough-luck loss. The strong effort was needed for Mikolas, as he entered the game having allowed 10 earned runs across his last 10.2 frames. Even so, Mikolas still owns a 2.93 ERA with a 60:15 K:BB across 73.2 innings on the campaign.

Anderson allowed four earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two across three innings Thursday against the White Sox. He did not factor into the decision.

Anderson surrendered one earned run through three innings, but he allowed the first four batters he faced in the fourth frame to reach base to sour his outing. He didn't allow a home run, though he was uncharacteristically wild as he had allowed only six walks across 55.2 innings on the season entering Thursday's start. The outing also snapped a 20-frame scoreless stretch for Anderson, though he still owns a strong 3.07 ERA on the campaign.

Strasburg (0-1) took the loss Thursday in Miami, allowing seven runs on eight hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out five in 4.2 innings.

It was his first major-league start in over a year and one Strasburg would probably like to forget. Five of the eight runs against him came with two outs, including the two-run homer by Jesus Sanchez that ended Strasburg's night in the fifth inning. Nevertheless, the four-time All-Star is back after missing significant time after undergoing surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. It was just his eighth start since winning the 2019 World Series Most Valuable Player Award and re-signing with Washington on a seven-year, $245 million contract. Assuming he will take his normal turn in the rotation, Strasburg will likely pitch early next week against Atlanta.

Rogers (3-5) earned the win Thursday over Washington, striking out five in five innings while allowing two runs on six hits and a walk.

Rogers held the Nationals scoreless in the first four innings, allowing just three singles. In the fifth, both runs against him scored on Juan Soto's two-out, two-run single. The good outing puts an end to a poor three-start stretch during which Rogers allowed 13 runs across 12.2 innings. His season numbers improved to a 5.58 ERA and 1.54 WHIP, a far cry from the 2.64 ERA and 1.15 WHIP he posted a year ago. His next start will likely come early next week in Philadelphia.

Mahle allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out 10 across six innings Thursday against the Diamondbacks. He did not factor into the decision.

Mahle struck out double-digit batters in a game for the first time this season, which he backed with 16 swinging strikes across 105 total pitches. He turned in his third consecutive quality start and has allowed only four earned runs across his last 18.2 frames in that span. Despite the strong stretch, Mahle still has a 5.07 ERA and 74:30 K:BB over 65.2 innings on the campaign.

Davies allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out seven across six innings Thursday against the Reds. He did not factor into the decision.

Davies allowed four hits prior to recording an out, which led to all three of his earned runs coming across during the first inning. However, he retired 14 of the final 15 batters he faced to turn in his second consecutive quality start. Davies has also seen an uptick in strikeouts in recent starts, tallying 18 punchouts across his last 19 frames. Overall, he has a 4.21 ERA and a 50:22 K:BB across 62 innings on the season.
