Brubaker (2-2) allowed three runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out seven in five innings to take the loss against the Cardinals on Friday.

Brubaker hasn't issued any walks in his last three outings, but he allowed a season-high three runs against St. Louis on Friday and was charged with his second consecutive loss. The right-hander now has a 2.63 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 30:5 K:BB in 27.1 innings this season. Brubaker tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against San Diego on Wednesday.

Lopez pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing six hits and two walks in a no-decision versus Washington on Friday. He struck out two.

Lopez and Washington starter Jon Lester engaged in a pitchers' duel Friday -- all three runs in Washington's 2-1 win came in the 10th inning. The 25-year-old Lopez has a 2.34 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 34:10 K:BB across 34.2 innings this season. Despite the solid work on the mound, he remains at 0-2 with four quality starts in six outings. He's tentatively scheduled for his next start Thursday versus Arizona.

Stroman exited Friday's game against the Phillies due to a tight hamstring, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Stroman was replaced by Aaron Loup to begin the bottom of the sixth inning Friday, and he was apparently dealing with a hamstring issue. The right-hander allowed two runs (zero earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out eight in five innings before leaving the game. Stroman tentatively lines up to start on the road against St. Louis on Wednesday, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to take the mound.

Woodford was recalled by the Cardinals on Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Woodford opened the season on the big-league roster but made just two appearances before being sent down, allowing two runs in four innings with a 5:4 K:BB. Daniel Ponce de Leon landed on the injured list with shoulder inflammation in a corresponding move.

Paddack was placed on the injured list for an unspecified reason Friday.

The Padres didn't provide an explanation for Paddack's placement on the injured list, which signals that his absence could be related to the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return. The right-hander had been in line to start Monday's game against the Pirates, but right-hander Miguel Diaz's contract was selected in a corresponding move, and he could fill in as a starter if Paddack is unable to pitch.

Gonsolin (shoulder) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Thursday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Gonsolin made the Dodgers' Opening Day roster but landed on the injured list with shoulder inflammation before he got the chance to make his season debut. An attempt to start his throwing program in mid-April was halted due to continued soreness, but he's making progress again now. The Dodgers have yet to provide a clear timetable for his return.

Strasburg (shoulder) threw off flat ground from 200 feet and will throw from a mound this weekend, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports

The righty was placed on the injured list earlier this month after a four-inning struggle against St. Louis on April 13. The return to a mound this weekend is a promising sign for Strasburg, who is working his way back from shoulder inflammation.

Corbin will start Saturday's game against Miami, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

The left-hander has struggled mightily in 2021, posting an 0-3 record and a 10.47 ERA in four starts. Corbin will look to get his season pointed in the right direction against Miami.

Carrasco (hamstring) threw five innings in a game at the Mets' spring training facility Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Carrasco's season has been disrupted by first elbow and then hamstring issues, but he appears to be almost ready to return. The Mets are aiming for him to return in the second week of May, so he's expected to make one more rehab start, which could come on the first day of the minor-league season Tuesday.

Soroka (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

The 23-year-old isn't expected to debut until at least mid-June after being shut down with the shoulder issue in early April, so the move to the long-term injured list won't affect his recovery timeline since the 60-day timeframe is backdated to the start of the season. Soroka resumed throwing earlier this week and will need to go through a full buildup program before progressing to game action.
