Kershaw (forearm) will make a three-inning rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Kershaw reportedly felt good after tossing a simulated game Friday, prompting the organization to set him off on a rehab assignment next week. The left-hander's subsequent step will presumably depend on how he comes out of Tuesday's minor-league start. Kershaw still has time to ramp back up as a starter, and the goal remains to have him log a few starts in September in order to have him ready for the postseason.

GM Michael Girsch said Sunday that Flaherty (shoulder) is expected to begin a throwing program in the next couple days, Jim Hayes of Bally Sports Midwest reports.

Flaherty landed on the injured list Aug. 25 with a strained right shoulder, and he's been cleared to resume throwing after a brief shutdown period. The right-hander is already eligible to return from the 10-day IL, but he's likely to remain sidelined for at least a couple more weeks.

Anderson allowed four runs on five hits and four walks over three innings Saturday versus Colorado. He did not factor in the decision.

Anderson struggled with his control in the outing, throwing only 33 of 62 pitches for strikes and walking four. He was also tagged for a pair of massive home runs, marking the first time he surrendered multiple long balls in a start since May 29. The right-hander will look for better results in his next outing, which is likely to come next weekend at home against Miami.

Gomer (back) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Gomber was ruled out for the season Saturday after being placed on the 10-day IL with spondyloysis, a stress fracture in the bones of the lower spine, so it was only a matter of time before he moved to the 60-day IL to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. The left-hander finished his first year in Colorado with a 4.53 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 113:41 K:BB across 115.1 innings (23 starts). It's not yet clear if he'll be ready for the start of spring training in February.

Marquez allowed four runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out five in five innings in Saturday's win over Atlanta. He didn't factor into the decision.

Although two of the runs Marquez gave up Saturday were unearned, he's now allowed at least three runs in each of his last five appearances. During that time, the right-hander has put up a 7.77 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 24.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start on the road against Philadelphia on Thursday.

Musgrove (10-8) earned the win over Houston on Saturday, hurling 5.1 innings and allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four.

Musgrove allowed at least one baserunner in each of the six frames during which he took the mound and needed 100 pitches to get through 5.1 innings, but he was able to navigate around constant traffic to hold Houston to just two runs. The right-hander has held opponents to two or fewer earned runs in seven of his past eight starts, with the lone exception being an Aug. 14 blowup against Arizona. Musgrove has looked like the ace of the Padres' staff this season, leading all starters in wins (10), ERA (2.87), WHIP (1.01) and strikeouts (173).His next start is likely to take place in Los Angeles against the Dodgers on Friday.

Brubaker was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

Brubaker returned from the injured list Saturday after dealing with a thumb injury, but he was pulled from his start after three innings due to the shoulder issue. The 27-year-old will be eligible to return Sept. 15, though it's unknown how long he's expected to be sidelined.

Megill (2-4) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings as the Mets fell 4-3. He struck out eight.

New York's bullpen got taxed when the matinee went to extra innings, but Megill stepped up and worked the entire nightcap, although his offense couldn't matched its 11-run outburst earlier in the day to reward the right-hander with a win. Megill did tie his career high in strikeouts, and on the year the rookie sports a 4.20 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 78:19 K:BB through 70.2 innings.

Stroman didn't factor into the decision during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, giving up three runs on six hits and three walks over five innings in an 11-9 extra-innings win. He struck out two.

The right-hander exited after 94 pitches (54 strikes) in line for the win with the Mets ahead 9-3, but the bullpen coughed up six runs in the next two innings. Stroman issued more than two free passes for the first time since June 27 and saw his quality start streak snapped at three in the mediocre effort. He'll take a 2.93 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 136:39 K:BB through 156.2 innings into his next outing.

Rogers tossed 4.1 innings against Philadelphia on Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three. He did not factor in the decison.

Rogers missed all of September due to a family emergency, and he was consequently limited to 83 pitches in his return to big-league action. The left-hander gave up a pair of fourth-inning runs but kept Miami in the contest, and he was taken off the hook for a loss when the Marlins scored a trio of eighth-inning runs to pull out the victory. Rogers has enjoyed a strong rookie campaign, posting a 2.52 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 132:42 K:BB across 114.1 innings. His next start is likely to come at Atlanta late next week.
