Gray (elbow) will return from the 10-day injured list to start Friday's series opener in Milwaukee, MLB.com reports.

Gray received the green light to return from the IL after he struck out six while allowing two runs over four innings in his rehab start last weekend at Triple-A Albuquerque. He tossed 62 pitches in that outing, so he'll likely only have a light workload restriction as he steps back into the Colorado rotation. Gray has been on the shelf since June 5 with a right flexor strain.

Rogers (7-4) took the loss Wednesday as the Marlins were downed 3-1 by the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out six.

Remarkably, this was one of Rogers' worst starts of the year, as the southpaw failed to pitch at least six innings for the first time since May 24 and got tagged for a season-high three runs for only the second time. Even so, he kept the Marlins in the game despite their lack of offense. He'll take a 2.08 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 101:28 K:BB through 86.2 innings into his next outing.

Megill didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Atlanta, giving up two runs on three hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out four.

The 25-year-old appeared to be in good shape to pick up the win in his big-league debut after the Mets jumped out to an early 5-0 lead, but Megill ran into trouble in the fifth inning and got the hook after throwing 92 pitches (53 strikes). Whether he gets another turn in the rotation will depend on how quickly Marcus Stroman (hip) can return to the mound.

Wright (0-1) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up five runs on four hits and three walks over two innings as Atlanta was downed 7-3 by the Mets. He struck out one.

It was a rough night for the right-hander, who got chased from the game after 55 pitches (29 strikes). Despite the poor outing, Wright and his career 6.56 ERA could be needed for one more turn through the rotation before Max Fried (finger) is able to rejoin the staff.

Musgrove got the no-decision in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks with five strikeouts across six innings.

Musgrove pitched extremely well outside of the fourth inning, when he allowed both runs and three of five total baserunners. While wins have been difficult to come by, Musgrove has gone eight straight starts allowing three runs or less and has lowered his ERA from 3.00 to 2.22 in that stretch to achieve a top-10 mark.

Marquez (6-6) allowed one earned run on two hits and no walks while striking out seven across eight innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Mariners.

Marquez delivered his longest outing of the season and needed only 98 pitches to get there. He generated 10 groundball outs to pair with his seven strikeouts, with the lone run he surrendered coming on a solo home run by Taylor Trammell. Though soured by an eight-run outing on June 12, Marquez has allowed only 12 earned runs across his last 45 innings, a span of seven starts. Overall, he's maintained a 3.99 ERA with an 89:39 K:BB across 90.1 frames on the campaign.

Woodruff (6-3) earned the win Wednesday versus Arizona. He allowed one run on three hits and two walks with nine strikeouts in seven innings.

After a brutal start last Thursday in Colorado, the right-hander returned to form. The only damage on Woodruff's line was a Christian Walker solo home run in the seventh inning. Woodruff also struck out nine or more batters for the fifth time in his last nine starts. The 28-year-old has a sparkling 1.89 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 111:21 K:BB across 95 innings. His next start is expected to be against the Cubs next week.

Gausman allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out nine across seven innings Wednesday against the Angels. He did not factor into the decision.

Gausman delivered another gem, with the only run against him coming on a solo home run by Luis Rengifo in the fifth inning. He otherwise dominated the Angels, racking up 19 swinging strikes on 100 total pitches. The only downside to the outing was that Gausman wasn't rewarded with a win, though that was through no fault of his own. Gausman has now allowed two earned runs or less in 14 of his 15 starts this season, which has translated to a 1.49 ERA with a 112 strikeouts across 96.2 innings.

Velasquez allowed four runs on three hits and two walks in 4.1 innings, striking out five and not factoring into the decision in Wednesday's 13-12 loss to the Nationals.

Short outings have become a recurring theme for Velasquez, who has lasted five innings just once in his last five starts and now has a 4.74 ERA this season. The righty isn't expected to be elite near the back of Philadelphia's rotation, but his role may be in jeopardy if he continues this run of poor pitching. Velasquez is expected to make his next start Tuesday against the Marlins.

Gonsolin (shoulder) is listed as the Dodgers' probable pitcher Friday against the Cubs, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

The right-hander was limited to 3.2 innings during Sunday's start after coming out of his previous outing with shoulder soreness, but it appears he won't miss a turn through the rotation, though he could still have some workload limitations. Gonsolin has allowed three runs on nine hits with an 11:8 K:BB over nine innings through his first three starts of 2021.
