Senga (3-2) took the loss Thursday against the Diamondbacks, allowing a run on five hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out six.

Senga did a good job limiting the damage Thursday, though he was only able to make it through four innings after throwing 87 pitches. Still, Senga's yet to allow more than two earned runs in a start this year. His ERA now sits at a pristine 1.38 with a 1.16 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB across six outings (32.2 innings). Senga's currently lined up for a rematch with Arizona on the road in his next start.

Gallen (2-4) earned the win in Thursday's 4-2 victory over the Mets, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out eight.

The Mets had few answers for Gallen, who allowed just one hit through his first five scoreless innings before giving up a solo home run to Juan Soto in the sixth. It was an encouraging outing for the right-hander, who had struggled to a 6.65 ERA over four starts coming into Thursday. Gallen's ERA now sits at 4.93 on the year with a 1.30 WHIP and 43:18 K:BB across seven outings (38.1 innings). He'll look to build on Thursday's performance in his next start, currently scheduled for next week at home in a rematch with the Mets.

Soto went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Soto accounted for all of the Mets' offense in Thursday's defeat. He got New York on the board with an opposite-field blast off Zac Gallen in the sixth inning before smacking a second homer, his fifth of the year, off Kevin Ginkel in the eighth. It's certainly a positive sign for Soto, who'd gone 0-for-7 in the first two games of the series. The star outfielder is now slashing .252/.379/.443 with 23 runs scored, 14 RBI and a pair of stolen bases through 140 plate appearances this year.

The Dodgers transferred Treinen (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Treinen went down with a right forearm sprain in mid-April and has yet to resume a throwing program. He now isn't eligible to return until mid-June, and there won't be a timetable for Treinen until he starts ramping up his throwing.

The Dodgers transferred Kopech (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Kopech landed on the injured list at the start of the season due to forearm inflammation, and his recovery has been slowed by a right shoulder impingement. He has built up to throwing 30 pitches during bullpen sessions but will still miss another several weeks, as he has yet to begin a rehab assignment. He'll be joined on the 60-day IL by Blake Treinen (forearm) to clear 40-man spots for new additions J.P. Feyereisen and Ryan Loutos.

The Dodgers claimed Feyereisen off waivers from the Diamondbacks on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

It's a homecoming of sorts for Feyereisen, who posted an 8.18 ERA and 9:5 K:BB over 11 innings with the Dodgers last season. The righty allowed three runs (two earned) over two frames with the Diamondbacks earlier this season before they placed him on waivers. Feyereisen will go to Triple-A Oklahoma City for now.

The Cardinals traded Loutos to the Dodgers on Thursday in exchange for cash, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Loutos owns a 3.38 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through eight innings in Triple-A this season, but he was booted off St. Louis' 40-man roster Monday to make room for Jose Barrero. By joining the Dodgers, Loutos once again owns a 40-man spot, but he'll likely remain at Triple-A Oklahoma City until Los Angeles needs a fresh arm in its bullpen.

Soroka (biceps) is not listed among the Nationals' probable pitchers for this weekend's series in Cincinnati and is expected to make a third rehab start in the minors, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Soroka declared himself ready to go after he went 4.1 innings and threw 78 pitches in his second rehab start with Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday. However, rather than bringing him back from the 15-day injured list this weekend, the Nationals will presumably ask him to make one more rehab start to increase his pitch count a bit. Barring a setback, Soroka should rejoin the Washington rotation next week. He's been out since late March due to a right biceps strain.

Realmuto isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Realmuto will get a chance to catch his breath Thursday after going 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Wednesday's contest. While he sits, Rafael Marchan will start at catcher and bat ninth.

Fortes (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Fortes has missed the last three weeks of action with a Grade 1 left oblique strain but is ready to test things out in a game setting. The 28-year-old might remain at Jacksonville rather than rejoin the major-league roster once healthy enough to do so, as Agustin Ramirez has taken over the primary catching duties for the Marlins and backup Liam Hicks is a Rule 5 pick who must remain on the roster or be offered back to the Tigers.
