The Marlins recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Gonzalez will reach the majors for the first time this season to add a fresh arm to Miami's bullpen, replacing Patrick Monteverde. Gonzalez will likely be limited to low-leverage work after turning in a 6.59 ERA and 1.74 WHIP through 28.2 innings at Triple-A.

Wilkinson was added to the active roster as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Diamondbacks and will start Game 1.

Wilkinson gave up four runs over 5.2 innings while working primarily as an opener during his last stint with the Giants. He'll now rejoin the big club to pitch in Saturday's twin bill and has a chance to remain in the majors beyond the weekend as one of the replacements for Carson Whisenhunt (elbow) and Adrian Houser (forearm).

Mathews (1-2) earned the win Friday against the Pirates after allowing one run on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over 5.2 innings. He also hit a batter.

Mathews made his first start since manager Oliver Marmol said last Sunday that the lefty would remain in the team's rotation for the foreseeable future, and Mathews responded by delivering the best outing of his young career. Mathews threw 63 of 102 pitches for strikes and matched his career high with seven strikeouts while completing a career-best 5.2 innings. The strong outing lowered his ERA from 6.43 to 5.03 through four starts. His next start will be a tough test, however, as he's scheduled to face the Dodgers on the road.

Jones (2-6) took the loss Friday against the Cardinals after allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out six over 4.2 innings.

Jones kept the Cardinals scoreless through two innings before Nolan Gorman doubled and Jimmy Crooks followed with a two-run homer in the third. This was the third straight game in which Jones struck out at least five while allowing three earned runs or fewer, but he's also failed to pitch more than five innings in any of those outings. Jones owns a 5.26 ERA with a 44:16 K:BB in eight starts and 37.2 innings since the All-Star break, and he's scheduled to make his next start at home against the Giants.

Quintana (elbow) will throw two simulated innings at the Rockies' complex in Arizona on Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Quintana threw a 45-pitch bullpen session in mid-August and has been ramping up his activity. While he seems to be making clear progress, it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to the mound before the season ends.

Henderson (9-2) earned the win Friday against the Rangers after allowing one run on one hit with no walks while striking out seven over seven innings.

Henderson has been trending in the right direction of late and has now given up exactly one earned run in each of his last three starts, posting a 1.35 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB over his last 20 innings. Further, he hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in any of his 14 outings this year and owns a 2.06 ERA in eight starts since the All-Star break. His next start should come next week on the road against the Cubs.

Gallen (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Gallen threw three innings and 45 pitches in a bridge game last Tuesday and could push that pitch count to 60 for the Aces. The Diamondbacks are targeting the right-hander's return for sometime during their upcoming series against Kansas City, which runs from Sept. 7-9.

Burnes (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno on Saturday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Burnes is expected to throw two innings and 35 pitches for the Aces. If all goes well, manager Torey Lovullo will make a decision as to whether the right-hander should rejoin the Diamondbacks for his season debut. Given where he is with his workload, Burnes would likely only be able to give Arizona three innings (45 pitches) at that point, but with an extra roster spot in September, the team would have bullpen coverage.

Drake allowed five runs on four hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Friday.

Drake's first start in the majors since Aug. 6 led to him giving up a season-high five runs. He struggled in two outings for Triple-A during August as well, giving up a total of 10 runs (nine earned) over five innings. Drake is at a 6.53 ERA and 17:7 K:BB through 20.2 innings across his first five starts in the majors. The Diamondbacks have a bit of a patchwork rotation at the moment, which could afford him one more start -- tentatively lined up to be at Houston -- before Michael Soroka (shoulder) and Zac Gallen (elbow) would be ready to return from their respective stints on the injured list.

Kent (1-2) picked up the win in Friday's 9-2 rout of the Marlins, allowing one run on three hits and four walks over seven innings. He struck out three.

After three shaky performances to begin his big-league career. Kent found a groove Friday, firing 64 of 106 pitches for strikes to record his first win and first quality start for the Nationals. His control remained a concern, however, and through 19.1 innings he has a discouraging 17:15 K:BB. The 23-year-old lefty may not be ready for a rotation spot, but with Washington out of playoff contention, the team will likely let him take his lumps over the final weeks of 2026. Kent is scheduled to make his next trip to the mound at home next week against Atlanta.
