Gilbert completed five innings against Colorado on Friday, allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out two. He did not factor in the decision.

The southpaw's bid for a second straight no-hitter fizzled quickly Friday when Brendan Rodgers singled with one out in the bottom of the first inning. Gilbert got out of that frame unscored upon but gave up four runs between the second and fourth innings and departed after the fifth having thrown 85 pitches. The rookie induced only six swinging strikes and punched out just two batters, making for an unfriendly fantasy outing. Gilbert's next turn in the rotation is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday at Pittsburgh.

Kelly (undisclosed) walked two batters and notched one strikeout over one-third of an inning in a rehab appearance with Low-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday.

Pitching for the first time since going on the IL without an injury designation Aug. 10, Kelly hurled 16 pitches before departing with a pair of runners on base. Manager Dave Roberts previously indicated that the right-handed reliever could be activated as soon as Sunday, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, though it's possible the Dodgers could elect for Kelly to make another rehab appearance given his rust Friday.

Hartlieb was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

Hartlieb was sent down Monday, but he'll provide an additional arm out of the Mets' bullpen after right-hander Jake Reed (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday. The 27-year-old has made three relief appearances with the Mets this year, and he's allowed seven runs on seven hits and six walks while striking out five in 4.1 innings.

Phillips was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right quadriceps strain Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Phillips made his Dodgers debut Thursday and allowed a run on three hits and no walks while striking out one in 2.1 innings to earn the win over the Mets. However, he apparently suffered a quad injury that will prompt a trip to the injured list. It's not yet clear when the right-hander will be able to return.

Alvarado (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

Alvarado has been dealing with a left shoulder impingement for a week and a half, but he felt good after Friday's bullpen session. The southpaw will throw another bullpen Sunday and will be re-evaluated afterward.

Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The right-hander was sent down Wednesday, but he'll return to the major-league roster after Jake Reed (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday. Diaz has made six relief appearances in the majors since Aug. 1, and he's recorded a 5.40 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 6.2 innings during that span.

Reed was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with right forearm inflammation, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Reed was back in the Mets' bullpen for nearly a week, and he allowed two hits and no walks while striking out five in four scoreless innings. Whether he'll be forced to miss more than the minimum of 10 days remains to be seen, but right-hander Yennsy Diaz will take his place in the major-league bullpen.

Pomeranz (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Pomeranz has been ruled out for the season after he underwent surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon last week, so his move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural. The transaction makes room for Jurickson Profar, who was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Friday.

Yamamoto (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with the Mets' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Yamamoto has been on the injured list since late May due to a sore right shoulder, but he resumed mound work in mid-July. The righty tossed a scoreless inning during his first rehab appearance and will likely require several appearances in the minors before he's ready to rejoin the major-league club. However, Yamamoto should be available as a starting option for the Mets if they need one in September.

Lambert (elbow) felt good following Wednesday's rehab start, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Lambert is working his way back from Tommy John surgery, a procedure he underwent in July of 2020. It looks as though he'll have time to return before the end of the season, though he won't have time to make more than a small handful of starts.
