Paddack allowed three earned runs on six hits while striking out two across six innings in the win over the Astros on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.

Paddack allowed a run in the first inning before firing five shutout innings. However, he allowed back-to-back home runs by Yuli Gurriel and Carlos Correa before being pulled in the seventh inning. The 25-year-old has a 2.97 ERA in 21.2 innings over his last four starts dating back to July 21. For the season, he has a 4.95 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP with 95 strikeouts in 103.2 innings.

Gray allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk with two strikeouts in three innings versus the Mets on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.

The 23-year-old has yielded a half-dozen runs in each of his last two starts, covering just seven innings in that span. The right-hander allowed the Mets to cobble together four runs in the first inning and then yielded solo home runs to Jonathan Villar and Javier Baez before he was removed from the game. Gray has struggled to a 5.65 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 48:17 K:BB through 43 innings between the Nationals and the Dodgers this year. He's in line for a favorable road start versus Pittsburgh during next weekend's three-game series.

Gonsolin (shoulder) felt good after Saturday's rehab start and could be activated soon, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Gonsolin likely won't pitch in the Dodgers' upcoming series against the Cardinals, but the right-hander has a chance to return after just one rehab appearance. The 27-year-old allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out one in 2.1 innings at Low-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday.

Walker allowed six runs on six hits and three walks with six strikeouts in 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus Washington on Sunday.

The Mets gave Walker a four-run lead before he ever got to the mound, but he allowed a solo home run to Lane Thomas and a two-run shot to Josh Bell in the bottom of the first. The right-hander then allowed three more runs before Jeurys Familia relieved him to finish the fifth inning. Walker owns a 4.15 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 129:49 K:BB through 138.2 innings this season, but he's gone 0-6 with four no-decisions in his last 10 starts. He's in line for a home start in the Subway Series versus the Yankees next weekend.

Freeland (hip) has been confirmed as the Rockies' starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Giants, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

The lefty's most recent outing Sept. 1 against the Rangers was cut short due to a left hip impingement, but after receiving an injection to address the injury, Freeland looks to be pain free heading into the upcoming week. He was able to throw a bullpen session over the weekend without any discomfort, so Freeland shouldn't face any limitations heading into what's shaping up to be a two-start week. Freeland tentatively lines up to make his second turn of the week Sept. 11 in Philadelphia.

Williams is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Nationals in Washington.

Because the Mets played five games in four days to close out the weekend, Williams will be needed to make his third start for New York and his second in less than a week. While filling a swingman role in his first four outings for the Mets, Williams has impressed, covering 13 innings in total while submitting a 0.69 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. Unless the Mets expand their rotation to six men after Monday's contest, the team won't have a starting role open for Williams, so he should be headed back to the bullpen following his outing in Washington.

Kershaw (forearm) will make a three-inning rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Kershaw reportedly felt good after tossing a simulated game Friday, prompting the organization to set him off on a rehab assignment next week. The left-hander's subsequent step will presumably depend on how he comes out of Tuesday's minor-league start. Kershaw still has time to ramp back up as a starter, and the goal remains to have him log a few starts in September in order to have him ready for the postseason.

GM Michael Girsch said Sunday that Flaherty (shoulder) is expected to begin a throwing program in the next couple days, Jim Hayes of Bally Sports Midwest reports.

Flaherty landed on the injured list Aug. 25 with a strained right shoulder, and he's been cleared to resume throwing after a brief shutdown period. The right-hander is already eligible to return from the 10-day IL, but he's likely to remain sidelined for at least a couple more weeks.

Anderson allowed four runs on five hits and four walks over three innings Saturday versus Colorado. He did not factor in the decision.

Anderson struggled with his control in the outing, throwing only 33 of 62 pitches for strikes and walking four. He was also tagged for a pair of massive home runs, marking the first time he surrendered multiple long balls in a start since May 29. The right-hander will look for better results in his next outing, which is likely to come next weekend at home against Miami.

Gomer (back) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Gomber was ruled out for the season Saturday after being placed on the 10-day IL with spondyloysis, a stress fracture in the bones of the lower spine, so it was only a matter of time before he moved to the 60-day IL to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. The left-hander finished his first year in Colorado with a 4.53 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 113:41 K:BB across 115.1 innings (23 starts). It's not yet clear if he'll be ready for the start of spring training in February.
