Pepiot will start Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Although Pepiot was sent down last week, he traveled with the Dodgers for their road trip to Arizona and will make his third major-league start Friday. Over his first two starts, the right-hander posted a 3.86 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in seven innings.

Davies (lower leg) threw a 31-pitch bullpen session Thursday, Jack Sommers of MLB.com reports. The right-hander is scheduled to start Sunday against the Dodgers.

Davies left his most recent start during the fourth inning after taking a 112.4 mph liner to the leg off the bat of Bobby Witt. According to the report, Thursday's bullpen session went well, and Davies will not miss a turn.

Wainwright (5-4) took the loss against Milwaukee on Thursday, allowing four runs (three earned) on 10 hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings.

Wainwright labored to make it through five frames, needing 100 pitches and yielding a season-high 10 hits. He gave up a pair of runs in the first inning and single runs in each of the second and fourth frames. The veteran entered the contest riding a three-game win streak on the strength of having allowed just three runs over his previous 20 innings, but he gave up more hits and runs Thursday than he had during all three games of the win streak combined. Wainwright will look to bounce back in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home against the Padres next week.

Lauer (5-1) earned the win against St. Louis on Thursday, pitching five innings and allowing two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out one.

This wasn't among Lauer's best starts this season, as he labored with 96 pitches over five frames and walked a season-high four hitters while tallying a season-low one strikeout. Nonetheless, he was able to take control after the first two innings, retiring nine of the final 10 batters he faced and going just long enough to earn the victory. The left-handed hurler has been outstanding for Milwaukee this season, compiling a 2.31 ERA and 1.01 WHIP while tying for second in the National League with five wins. He's lined up to make his next start in Chicago next week.

Corbin (1-7) allowed three earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three across 6.1 innings to earn the win Thursday against Colorado.

Corbin entered Thursday having taken the loss in seven of his nine starts on the season. However, he was sharp against the Rockies, highlighted by 10 groundball outs. Corbin managed his third quality start of the season and has maintained a 6.30 ERA and 42:22 K:BB across 50 frames.

Nola (2-4) allowed one earned run on five hits and no walks while striking out 10 across 8.1 innings to earn the win Thursday against Atlanta.

Nola dominated Atlanta and allowed only two extra-base hits -- both to Matt Olson. He also struck out a season-best 10 hitters, backed by 24 called strikes and 15 swinging strikes across 109 total pitches. Nola entered the start having allowed 10 earned runs across his last three starts spanning 17.2 innings, but for the season he has maintained a 3.56 ERA and an elite 74:10 K:BB across 60.2 frames.

Wright (4-3) allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five across 6.2 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Phillies.

Wright breezed through his entire outing, but the bullpen allowed two inherited runners to score to sour his line. Despite tallying only five strikeouts, Wright managed 15 swinging strikes across 92 total pitches. Wright has now allowed more than three earned runs in only one of his nine starts this season, and he has maintained a 2.68 ERA and 61:18 K:BB across 53.2 frames.

Gibson will no longer start during the Phillies' weekend series against the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Gibson was originally slated to start Sunday, but Bailey Falter will start Friday and push the rotation back a day. As a result, Gibson lines up to start Monday against the Giants, though that has not been confirmed by the team. Zach Eflin will start Saturday, with Zack Wheeler following in the series finale.

Falter will start Friday against the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Falter is currently pitching at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, though he will be called up prior to the team's weekend series. No injury has been announced to a member of the Phillies' rotation, so presumably the Phillies are just pushing everyone back a day. Falter has maintained a 3.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB across 12 innings in the majors this season, though that has come primarily out of the bullpen.

Greene (2-6) earned the win Thursday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings against the Cubs. He struck out six.

Greene gave up a two-run double to Frank Schwindel in the top of the first and a solo home run to Nico Hoerner in the second. However, he was able to settle down and tossed two scoreless innings before giving up back-to-back homers to Willson Contreras and Ian Happ to leadoff the fifth. Regardless, the right-hander was still able to get through the fifth and earned the win thanks to an eight-run outburst from the Reds in the third. The rookie has registered at least six strikeouts in eight of his first nine career starts.
