Gomber (shoulder) won't throw for at least a week and won't pitch in a game for 2-to-3 weeks, MLB.com reports.

Gomber was scratched from a scheduled rehab start with Triple-A Albuerque on Wednesday after experiencing soreness in his left shoulder. The veteran lefty began the season on the injured list, and given his current shutdown from throwing, it's unlikely he'll be ready to join Colorado's rotation until at least May. Gomber will need to log more rehab starts before he's ready to be activated, and Colorado probably won't be able to put together a timeline for his return until he's able to resume a throwing program.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Phillies.

Hernandez gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead with a two-run shot off Aaron Nola in the second inning. The 33-year-old is just 3-for-26 on the season, but all three hits have been home runs. He's started five straight games at first base since Freddie Freeman (ankle) was placed on the injured list, though Hernandez is unlikely to remain a significant factor upon Freeman's return.

Scott earned the save in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Phillies, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

Scott needed only three pitches to lock down his third save of the season. After giving up a leadoff single on his first offering, he quickly bounced back with a double play and a lineout to end the game. The southpaw owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 4:0 K:BB across six innings, having received four of the Dodgers' six save opportunities so far in 2025.

Sasaki did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-1 win against the Phillies, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts over four innings.

Sasaki worked into the fifth inning and was lifted at 68 pitches after allowing the first two batters of the frame to reach base. While the rookie's current workload continues to limit his short-term upside, he threw 41 strikes and has lowered his walk total in consecutive outings. The 23-year-old will carry a 4.15 ERA, 2.08 WHIP and 9:11 K:BB across 8.2 innings into a home matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

Nola (0-2) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk with two strikeouts over six innings.

Nola battled against the vaunted Dodgers but was burned by a two-run homer in the second inning and a solo shot in the sixth. The veteran righty managed only nine swinging strikes on 97 pitches and has now yielded eight total runs on four long balls through 11.1 innings this year. He'll carry a 6.35 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 10:1 K:BB into a road matchup with the Cardinals next weekend.

Senger has been added to Saturday's lineup versus the Blue Jays as a result of Luis Torrens being scratched due to a right forearm contusion, per Will Sammon of The Athletic.

Senger was originally slated to begin the game on the bench, but he'll instead start behind the plate due to Torrens' forearm injury. This will be just the second start of the season for Senger, and to this point he's gone 1-for-3 with a double.

Torrens was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup against Toronto due to a right forearm contusion, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Torrens was originally slated to start behind the plate, but the forearm issue will keep him out of the lineup. In his place, Hayden Senger will start at catcher and bat ninth.

Hoerner went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Padres. He also stole a base.

Hoerner is still looking for his first extra-base hit of the season, though he's made an impact from a fantasy perspective due to his .313 batting average and four stolen bases in only eight games. Clearly, the Cubs trust the infielder to run frequently, and if Hoerner keeps getting on base at a good clip, he figures to rack up more steals in a hurry.

Pallante won't pitch against the Red Sox as scheduled Saturday, as the contest has been postponed due to inclement weather.

Pallante was slated to take the mound for his second start of the season, but he'll have to wait another day to toe the rubber. Saturday's contest has been rescheduled as part of a doubleheader Sunday, and Pallante is slated to start the first game of the twin bill, per Katie Woo of The Athletic.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Padres.

Swanson has his power stroke working lately, as that's now three home runs over his last six games. The shortstop isn't doing much else at the plate, as he's only batting .233, though fantasy managers won't complain about the long balls. Swanson hit 16 home runs last year, and he could fly past that number if he sustains his recent level of performance.
