Senzatela (8-10) gave up five runs on four hits and one walk while striking out one through three innings to take the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Senzatela was hit hard in the third inning, allowing three hits, a walk and four runs. It has been a rough stretch for Senzatela, giving up five or more runs in each of his last seven starts. The 24-year-old has a 7.19 ERA with 57 strikeouts through 21 starts this season. Senzatela is scheduled to make his next start Tuesday against the Cardinals at Coors Field.

Paddack held the Diamondbacks scoreless with eight strikeouts across 5.1 innings but did not factor into the decision during Wednesday's loss. He allowed four hits and walked two.

The 23-year-old rookie turned in a solid performance against the scorching hot Diamondbacks, blanking his opponent for the fourth time this year. All of Paddack's hits allowed were singles, two of which went back-to-back to lead off the fifth inning. The right-hander left during a scoreless game and unfortunately didn't get much run support. Paddack owns a 3.54 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and team-leading 137:29 K:BB this season, which he'll look to defend during a Tuesday showdown with the Cubs.

Gallen (3-4) threw a one-hitter across seven scoreless innings, striking out eight batters and walking one to earn the win against the Padres on Wednesday.

The right-hander flirted with a no-hitter into the seventh inning, when Manny Machado broke it up with a single. Otherwise, Gallen was lights out, throwing 59 of 90 pitches for strikes as the Diamondbacks earned their ninth win in 10 games while inching closer in the wild-card race. Gallen snapped his own four-start winless streak, posting his first victory since August 7 against the Phillies when he tossed five scoreless frames and allowed just one hit in his Arizona debut. Since then, the 24-year-old rookie has whiffed 39 batters across 32 innings. He'll look to defend a solid 2.50 ERA and 1.23 WHIP during a road contest against the Mets on Tuesday.

Williams didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Marlins, giving up three runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk over six innings while striking out six.

It's the right-hander's third straight quality start, and his 11th of the season overall. Williams will carry a 5.16 ERA and 96:34 K:BB through 125.2 innings into his next outing Monday in San Francisco.

Urena (4-8) gave up three runs on three hits and a walk without recording an out in the ninth inning Wednesday to get charged with his first blown save and take the loss against the Pirates.

Elias Diaz led off the inning with a solo shot, and Bryan Reynolds ended the disastrous outing for Urena with a walkoff two-run single. The right-hander is still adjusting to working out of the bullpen and was pitching on consecutive nights for the first time. The Marlins are likely to give him a long leash, but after two solid appearances, Urena's conversion to closer hit a major bump.

Nola didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Reds, giving up five runs on five hits and three walks over four innings while striking out six.

Four of the five hits off Nola went for extra bases, including a solo shot by Joey Votto in the first inning. The right-hander will take a 3.63 ERA and 200:67 K:BB through 178.2 innings into his next start Monday, at home against Atlanta.

Buehler is scheduled to start Sunday's series finale against the Giants, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Buehler served up six runs to the Rockies on Monday and lined up to pitch Tuesday in Baltimore, but the Dodgers will shift their rotation plans since they have scheduled off days immediately before and after the three-game set against San Francisco. The 25-year-old will look to grab his third straight win, and 13th overall, versus the Giants at home.

Gonsolin is available out of the bullpen Wednesday and won't start Friday's game against the Giants, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Gonsolin isn't making an official move to the bullpen as he's still in play to start Saturday -- assuming he doesn't pitch Wednesday -- but the Dodgers will remain flexible with their starting rotation since the three-game set versus San Francisco is bookended by scheduled off days. The 25-year-old has a 2.89 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB over his first six major-league outings.

Kershaw will take the mound in Friday's series opener against the Giants, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Kershaw was originally slated to start Saturday on six days rest, but he'll instead have his outing pushed up one day. The veteran left-hander allowed more than four earned runs for the first time all season in his last start, and he'll look to get back on track at home against division-rival San Francisco.

Hill (forearm) is scheduled to throw a 30-pitch, two-inning simulated game Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Hill will face live batters for the first time since going down with the left forearm strain in mid-June. Assuming the veteran left-hander avoids a setback, he could rejoin the Dodgers and pitch out of the bullpen next week, per Ken Gurnick of MLB.com.
