Cobb allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out eight in six innings during Sunday's win over the Reds. He didn't factor into the decision.

Cobb allowed 13 runs on 20 hits in 11.1 innings over his last two starts, but he righted the ship against the Reds' lackluster offense Sunday. However, the right-hander was forced to settle for the no-decision since the Giants failed to record a hit until the top of the seventh inning. Following Cobb's quality start, he has a 5.73 ERA, 47:12 K:BB and 1.49 WHIP in 37.2 innings over his first eight starts of the season. He tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Miami on Friday.

Gray (5-4) allowed one run on three hits and four walks over five innings Sunday, striking out three and earning a win over the Rockies.

After serving up a leadoff home run to Charlie Blackmon on the second pitch of the game, Gray kept Colorado off the board for the rest of his outing. Since his last win May 7, he had coughed up 16 runs on seven homers over his previous three outings entering Sunday. The 24-year-old righty lowered his ERA to 5.08 with a 54:25 K:BB through 51.1 innings. Gray is lined up to take the mound in Cincinnati next week.

Contreras registered a no-decision during Sunday's 4-2 loss to San Diego, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with three strikeouts in five innings.

Contreras was able to escape a bases-loaded jam in the second inning but served up a Jurickson Profar two-run shot with two-out in the fifth to fall behind. The 22-year-old has impressed in two starts since returning from the minors, compiling a line of two earned runs on eight hits and three walks with eight strikeouts in 10 innings. If he sticks in the rotation, Contreras will likely take the mound against Arizona next weekend.

Gore didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 4-2 win against Pittsburgh, allowing two hits and three walks with nine strikeouts in seven scoreless innings.

Gore shut down the Pirates offense by throwing 66 of 93 pitches for strikes with a season-high nine strikeouts and an impressive 15 swinging strikes. Unfortunately for the 23-year-old, the bullpen let in two runs in the eighth to immediately spoil the rookie's excellent performance. Gore has now held opposing offenses to three runs or fewer in each of his seven starts while allowing just one run over his last 16 innings to lower his ERA to an impressive 1.71. He'll look to keep the momentum rolling against Milwaukee next weekend.

Feltner is listed as the Rockies' scheduled starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Marlins at Coors Field.

Feltner will be rewarded with a second turn through the Colorado rotation after he struck out seven and allowed two runs over five innings in a no-decision May 25 in Pittsburgh. Whether the rookie right-hander sticks around with the big club beyond Monday's outing will likely hinge on the health of starters Antonio Senzatela (back) and Kyle Freeland (ankle). Senzatela made a four-inning rehab start at Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday and could be ready to return from the 15-day injured list as soon as Wednesday, while Freeland's status for the upcoming week is murkier after he suffered a left ankle impingement during his start Sunday against the Nationals.

Davies (2-3) took the loss during Sunday's 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts 5.1 innings.

Davies avoided major damage but served up a Will Smith solo shot in the second inning and two runs on three baserunners in the third to fall in line for the loss as Arizona's offense was dormant. The biggest takeaway is that the 29-year-old showed no ill effects of a lower-leg injury that put Sunday's start in question. After delivering consecutive scoreless outings to open May, Davies has allowed at least three runs in each of his last four starts and will look to get back on track next weekend against Pittsburgh.

Anderson (6-0) earned the win during Sunday's 3-1 victory over Arizona, allowing five hits and one walk with six strikeouts in six scoreless innings.

Anderson required just 79 pitches to cruise through six easy frames and earn his third straight win to give him a share of the MLB lead with teammate Walker Buehler and Justin Verlander at six. Since joining the rotation April 23, the 32-year-old has surrendered 14 runs in 41.2 innings for a 3.02 ERA, though five of the seven starts have come against teams below .500. A 3.65 xFIP indicates Anderson's 2.90 ERA stands to rise, and he'll get a test against the Mets' top three offense next weekend.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Woodruff's right ankle injury may not be significant enough to prevent the right-hander from making his next scheduled turn through the rotation Wednesday in Chicago against the Cubs, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Woodruff's most recent start Friday in St. Louis was cut short after he experienced irritation in the ankle during the fifth inning. Woodruff told Mark Saxon of MLB.com that he expects to be fine for his next start, but the Brewers won't take any chances with the 29-year-old if they sense that the ankle issue will hinder him from a command standpoint. Woodruff will likely be observed closely during a throwing session Monday before the Brewers decide on his status for this week.

The Rockies are hopeful that Senzatela (back) will be ready to return from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Marlins at Coors Field, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

A decision on whether to bring Senzatela back from the IL this week will likely hinge on how he responds to a bullpen session Monday. After he was placed on the IL on May 17 due to a lower-back strain, Senzatela was cleared to head out on a rehab assignment this weekend at Triple-A Albuquerque. He covered four innings in his start Friday for the affiliate, giving up four runs on eight hits and a walk while failing to strike out a batter.

Garrett (shoulder) returned from the 7-day injured list Sunday and struck out three over five scoreless innings for Triple-A Jacksonville in its 4-3 loss to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday. He gave up one hit and no walks in a no-decision.

Garrett slotted back into the Jacksonville rotation for his first start since April 26 after a month-long shutdown due to a left shoulder injury. The 24-year-old will be bypassed for a spot in the big-league rotation during the upcoming week with Edward Cabrera on track to receive a call-up from Jacksonville, but Garrett could be the next man up for a promotion if the Marlins lose another starting pitcher at any point.
