Gallen (1-1) allowed four earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven across four innings, taking the loss against the Rockies on Saturday.

Burnes (undisclosed) won't start Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

The 26-year-old landed on the injured list without an official designation Thursday, so it's believed his absence is related to the COVID-19 protocols. Burnes will need to clear all phases of said protocols before rejoining the team, and that won't be happening Sunday. It's unclear if the right-hander will be able to rejoin the rotation next week or if he'll face a longer absence. Alec Bettinger will make his major-league debut and start Sunday for Milwaukee.

May (arm) will be placed on the injured list Sunday and undergo an MRI once the team arrives in Chicago on Monday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said the right-hander felt a "shooting sensation" down his arm before being removed during the second inning of Saturday's loss to the Brewers, and there appears to be potential for a serious injury. May will miss at least one start while on the injured list, but the specifics of the injury won't be known until Monday, when he actually undergoes the MRI.

Woodruff allowed two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings in Saturday's win over the Dodgers. He didn't factor into the decision.

Morton allowed four earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six across 5.1 innings in the loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.

Morton allowed a two-run home run to George Springer in the third inning. He also ran himself into trouble in the sixth inning after hitting Vladimir Guerrero and walking Teoscar Hernandez with no outs. However, the 37-year-old has consistently provided strikeouts, totaling 39 in 33.2 innings this season.

May was removed from Saturday's start against the Brewers with a right arm injury, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

May was lifted during the second inning Saturday when he was wincing in pain after throwing a pitch, and the Dodgers have now confirmed he's dealing with an arm issue. The young right-hander's outlook remains up in the air while he continues to be evaluated, and a more specific diagnosis is expected from the team in the near future.

May left his start Saturday against the Brewers with an apparent injury, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

May winced in pain after throwing a pitch in the second inning and signaled to the dugout. He walked off the field with team trainers. The nature and severity of the injury should become clearer following further tests.

Corbin (1-3) recorded the win Saturday against the Marlins after allowing two runs on four hits with four strikeouts and four walks across seven innings.

It was only the second time through five starts this season the left-hander has completed five innings, and he generated only seven swinging strikes on 93 pitches. Corbin has an 8.10 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 18:14 K:BB across 23.1 innings. and he'll attempt to build on this performance during next week's start.

Senzatela was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right groin strain Saturday.

Senzatela was hit hard in Thursday's start against the Diamondbacks, allowing three runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out three in 4.2 innings. His groin issue could have contributed to his struggles, and he'll now have additional time to recover. It's not yet clear when Senzatela could return to action, and the team hasn't announced who will take his place in the rotation. However, left-hander Lucas Gilbreath was recalled in a corresponding move and could make his major-league debut as a starter while Senzatela is sidelined.

Senzatela was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right groin Saturday.

The move can be backdated to Friday, making Senzatela eligible to return May 10, though it's not yet clear if he's expected to be ready by then. He's struggled to a 5.76 ERA and 1.55 WHIP through six starts this season. Lucas Gilbreath was recalled in a corresponding move.
