Pepiot was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Wednesday's start against the Twins, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The Dodgers used a four-man rotation in recent days, but Pepiot will return to the majors Wednesday after spending just over a month in the minors. It's possible that Pepiot draws several starts for the major-league club while Clayton Kershaw (back) is on the injured list. Pepiot posted a 3.20 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 19.2 innings over three starts in the minors following his demotion.

The Cardinals recalled Woodford from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

St. Louis will bring Woodford aboard as a replacement in the bullpen for the struggling T.J. McFarland, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding transaction. Woodford has been a full-time starter at Memphis this season, so he'll be stretched out enough to serve as a multi-inning relief option while he's with the big club.

Ynoa was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Ynoa will make his way back to Gwinnett after being called up Sunday, failing to appear in a game before being sent down. The move opens a spot in Atlanta's bullpen for Kirby Yates (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

May (elbow) struck out eight over five innings Tuesday in his rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He allowed one earned run on three hits and one walk.

The 24-year-old built up to 68 pitches (45 strikes) in his fifth rehab start, looking good once again as he makes his return from Tommy John surgery. Through four outings at Triple-A and one in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, May has turned in a 1.69 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 26:5 K:BB in 16 innings. While the Dodgers weren't expected to immediately have a rotation spot available for May once he was activated from the 60-day injured list, Clayton Kershaw's (back) recent move to the IL and uncertain timeline to return seemingly sets up May to rejoin Los Angeles in a starting role. May will likely make one final rehab start for Oklahoma City early next week before potentially coming off the IL for his 2022 Dodgers debut during next weekend's series versus the Marlins.

Pepiot will be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma CIty to start Wednesday's game against the Twins, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

Pepiot was initially expected to start Saturday, but the Dodgers elected to use a four-man rotation over the last few days. However, the right-hander will make his first major-league start since early July as a fill-in for Clayton Kershaw (back). Over four big-league starts, Pepiot has posted a 2.76 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 16.1 innings.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Pepiot will be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Wednesday's series finale with the Twins in Los Angeles, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Pepiot will be picking up his fifth start of the season for the Dodgers, stepping into the spot in the rotation that was vacated by Clayton Kershaw's (back) recent move to the injured list. Among the four Dodgers starting pitchers on the injured list, Dustin May (elbow) is probably the closest to returning, but Pepiot should at least get a second turn through the rotation if he's able to deliver a serviceable outing Wednesday. Over his previous four outings with the big club, Pepiot turned in a 2.76 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 19:12 K:BB in 16.1 innings.

Cobb allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven in five-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday.

Cobb gave up Juan Soto's first home run as a Padre in the fourth inning. In the sixth, Cobb put three straight batters on base and was charged with two runs in the frame as reliever Yunior Marte let an inherited runner score. This was a setback for Cobb, who had completed at least six innings in five of his last six starts. The right-hander owns a 4.15 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 100:28 K:BB across 93.1 innings through 18 outings this year. He's projected for a home start versus the Diamondbacks next week in the first of a likely two-step.

Musgrove allowed a run on six hits and a hit batsman while striking out four over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Tuesday.

Musgrove pitched well enough to win, but Josh Hader blew the save. The poor luck extended Musgrove's winless streak to eight straight starts, though Tuesday's outing counted as his fourth quality start in that span. The right-hander owns a 2.91 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 124:28 K:BB through 127 innings across 20 starts this year. He's projected for a favorable road start in Miami in what will likely be a two-start week.

Urias (12-6) earned the win during Tuesday's 10-3 victory over Minnesota, allowing one run on five hits with eight strikeouts in seven innings.

Urias had his best stuff working Tuesday as he tossed 72 of 90 pitches for strikes, with 16 coming of the swinging variety, and rolled to a stress-free win. The 25-year-old's 71 game score matches his best of the season with all three starts coming in his last three games, during which Urias has gone 5-0 with a 1.09 ERA across 33 innings. Urias' 68.8 strike percentage, 2.49 ERA and 0.97 WHIP all rank top 10 in MLB. He'll look to keep the momentum going next week in Milwaukee.

Mikolas (8-9) took the loss Tuesday versus the Rockies, allowing 10 runs on 14 hits while striking out two in 2.2 innings.

For context, Mikolas had allowed 11 runs in his previous 18.1 innings across three starts, and that was one of his less impressive parts of the year. The 33-year-old right-hander will probably want to forget this one as fast as possible, as his ERA spiked from 2.92 to 3.50 after the horrid start. He's also posted a 1.09 WHIP and 108:27 K:BB through 141.1 innings across 23 starts. Mikolas will look to get back on track in a key divisional matchup versus the Brewers this weekend.
