Gonsolin allowed one run on three hits and a pair of walks with three strikeouts across three innings during Thursday's loss to the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

Gonsolin, who was activated from the injured list ahead of Thursday's game after dealing with shoulder issues, was on a limited pitch count in his return. The 27-year-old tossed 55 pitches, including 34 for strikes. During his recent rehab start, Gonsolin allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out one batter over 2.1 innings. The right-hander will look to get further stretched out in his next outing, which tentatively lines up for a favorable matchup at home Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Woodford gave up one run on three hits and a pair of walks while striking out three across four innings during Thursday's win over the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.

Woodford held his own against a volatile Dodgers lineup with his only blemish of the day coming from an RBI single by Trea Turner in the third. With his successful outing, the right-hander is expected to remain in the rotation for at least another turn, which tentatively lines up for next week against the Mets in New York. Across 22 games (four starts) this season, Woodford has compiled a 4.28 ERA and 1.39 WHIP.

Martinez (thumb) played catch on the field Thursday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Martinez is considered unlikely to return before the end of the season, though he's not yet been completely ruled out. The fact that he's throwing in some capacity is certainly a positive sign, but he's still several steps from getting back into game action and doesn't seem to have the time to complete those steps before the campaign ends.

Gonsolin (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Thursday's start against the Cardinals, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Gonsolin had been on the injured list since July 31 but will take the mound in Thursday's series finale in St. Louis. He recently made a rehab start and allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out one in 2.1 innings. The right-hander will likely be on a pitch count during Thursday's matchup, but he'll provide a boost to the Dodgers' rotation now that he's healthy.

Alcantara didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Mets, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over nine innings. He struck out a career-high 14.

The right-hander is emerging as the bona fide ace he's long been projected to become. Alcantara's lone mistake Wednesday resulted in a seventh-inning solo shot by Michael Conforto, but he was otherwise dominant over 114 pitches (81 strikes). The 26-year-old has fanned double-digit batters in three of his last four starts, posting a 2.45 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and brilliant 43:4 K:BB through 29.1 innings over that stretch.

Hill didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Marlins, allowing one run on five hits over six innings. He struck out eight without walking a batter.

The veteran southpaw hasn't recorded a win since June 23, back when he was still with the Rays, but it's not for lack of trying. Over his last four starts, Hill sports a 2.45 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 22:2 K:BB through 22 innings.

Darvish (8-9) earned the win over the Angels on Wednesday, pitching six innings and allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out seven.

Darvish entered the contest with a 7.57 ERA over his past nine starts, but he was able to push those struggles aside and hold Los Angeles to a single run over six frames. That helped him earn his first win since June 21 and snap a string of 10 straight starts without a victory. The right-hander will look to carry the momentum into his next start, which is likely to come at San Francisco early next week.

Wainwright (15-7) earned the win over the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out four over 8.1 innings.

Things didn't look good for the veteran hurler when Los Angeles notched three straight one-out hits in the first inning, but Mookie Betts was thrown out trying to score and Wainwright gave up only one run in the frame. He allowed another run on a sixth-inning Max Muncy homer, yet he was able to mostly quiet the Dodgers' bats and attempt to go for a complete game. That was perhaps not the best decision in the minds of fantasy managers, as Wainwright lost his quality start when he gave up a pair of ninth-inning runs, but Giovanny Gallegos closed things out to give Wainwright his 15th win. The 40-year-old trails only Julio Urias for the major-league lead in wins this season, and he has notched a 2.38 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 106:24 K:BB across 18 starts since the beginning of June.

Peralta pitched 3.2 innings and did not factor into the decision of Wednesday's victory over the Phillies. He allowed three runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out four.

The 25-year-old was tagged for a solo home run by Bryce Harper in the first inning prior to allowing two unearned runs in the third inning. He was pulled in the fourth inning after only 81 pitches. It was Peralta's second start since returning from a shoulder injury and he has allowed five earned runs over 5.2 innings. His next start is expected to come Wednesday in Detroit.

Gibson pitched 4.2 innings in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers, surrendering three runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out five. He did not factor into the game's decision.

The 33-year-old was lucky to limit the damage Wednesday, considering he allowed 11 baserunners. It was Gibson's second consecutive ineffective outing after he allowed eight runs Friday against the Phillies. He'll look to rebound in his next projected start Tuesday versus the Cubs.
