Gallen (8-5) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings to earn the win Friday over the Pirates.

Gallen's shaky control continues to be a red flag -- he has a 19:14 K:BB over 24 innings across five starts this month. On the bright side, he earned his second quality start in six outings since he returned from a hamstring injury. The right-hander is now at a 3.70 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 86:30 K:BB through 87.2 innings over 17 starts this year. Gallen's next start is projected to come at home versus the Nationals.

Senga is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his left calf Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

After missing the first four months of the season while recovering from a shoulder capsule strain as well as tricep inflammation, Senga was cleared make his 2024 debut Friday. He picked up the win against Atlanta while striking out nine and allowing two runs on two hits and one walk, but he exited midway through the sixth inning after tweaking his calf while running to cover first base on a pop-up. Manager Carlos Mendoza said after the game that the team believes the 31-year-old righty suffered only a strain rather than a more serious injury to his calf, though the results of Saturday's MRI are still pending. Senga could be headed back to the IL, even if the MRI reveals nothing overly concerning.

Hendricks (2-9) allowed six runs on eight hits over five innings Friday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Royals.

Hendricks worked through four scoreless frames before things unraveled in the fifth inning as Kansas City racked up six runs, capped off by Salvador Perez's three-run shot. Hendricks has gone 1-5 with a 6.07 ERA over his last six outings, but that stretch has actually lowered his season ERA to 6.95 across 80.1 innings. He's currently in line to start in Cincinnati next week.

Lodolo allowed two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five batters over 6.2 innings in a no-decision against the Rays on Friday.

Lodolo allowed two runs in the second inning but otherwise went unscathed into the seventh inning. He had struggled over his prior four starts, pitching to a 6.05 ERA in 19.1 innings, so Friday's quality start was encouraging. It was Lodolo's eighth quality start in 16 appearances on the campaign. The 26-year-old has eight wins and a 3.45 ERA with a 1.11 WHIP through 91.1 innings.

Rogers (2-9) allowed two runs on six hits over 5.1 innings Friday, striking out one batter and earning a win over Milwaukee.

Rogers forced just five whiffs and tied his season low with one punchout but still secured his first win since May 15. He gave up a solo homer to Rhys Hoskins in the third inning and allowed another run in the fourth. Rogers did not complete six innings in any of his five July starts, but he still produced a solid 3.38 ERA through 24 innings. Rogers owns a 4.53 ERA with an 85:46 K:BB through 21 starts on the year. His next outing is currently lined up to come in Atlanta.

Peralta (6-6) allowed five runs (three earned) on six hits and five walks over 5.1 innings Friday, striking out four and taking a loss against Miami.

The Marlins got off to a hot start by knocking two homers in the first inning. They then tacked on two unearned runs in the second. Peralta walked more than three batters for the first time since June 8 and has failed to complete six innings in three of his last four appearances. He's gone 0-2 with a 4.43 ERA through four starts this month, driving his season ERA up to 3.94 across 114.1 innings. Peralta is currently expected to face Atlanta at home for his next matchup.

Sanchez (7-6) took the loss Friday against the Guardians, giving up three runs on eight hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out two.

Sanchez got little run support, as he ended up with the loss despite tossing a quality start. He's lost three of his last four starts after a streak of 11 consecutive outings without a loss. The 27-year-old remains a steady option with quality starts in nine of his last 14 starts, and he's allowed just three home runs in 115 innings this season. Sanchez will take a 3.05 ERA into his next start, tentatively scheduled to come against the Yankees.

Senga was removed from his start Friday against Atlanta due to a left calf strain.

Senga went to the ground grabbing at his left calf while running to cover first base on a pop-up in the sixth inning. The Mets have yet to provide any information regarding the severity of his injury, though the right-hander was able to walk off the field under his own power. Senga was activated off the injured list earlier Friday after missing the first several months of the year due to issues with his right shoulder and triceps, and he allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out nine batters through 5.1 frames in his season debut.

Cobb (hip/shoulder) is scheduled to throw five innings for Triple-A Sacramento on Friday in what is expected to be his final rehab start, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Friday's rehab start will be Cobb's sixth as part of his recovery from offseason hip surgery and midseason shoulder soreness. If all goes well, the right-hander would be in line to pitch Wednesday against the Athletics, a move that would push Jordan Hicks to the bullpen. Cobb has yielded five runs with a 20:5 K:BB across 16.1 minor-league innings during his rehab stint.

Winn is scheduled to undergo a season-ending ulnar nerve transposition procedure Monday on his right elbow, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Winn was initially placed on the 15-day injured list June 22 due to a nerve issue in his right elbow. He began his rehab program by throwing bullpen sessions in early July, but he was shut down from throwing Monday after experiencing additional discomfort and has now been recommended for surgery. Winn will shift his focus to getting healthy for spring training, but he'll finish the 2024 campaign with a 3-8 record, 7.16 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 48:20 K:BB across 55.1 innings.
