Lorenzen will start Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Lorenzen will start his first game since 2018 as a replacement for Sonny Gray (back), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Lorenzen hasn't lasted more than four innings in any of his relief appearances this season, but he should be well-rested since he last pitched Sept. 10.

May (foot) will throw a bullpen session Sunday and could start Wednesday against the Padres, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The right-hander will also participate in fielding drills, and it appears he won't end up missing a turn through the rotation. May exited his start last Thursday after being hit by a comebacker on the left foot, but he was diagnosed with a bruise after a CT scan showed no fracture.

Garrett will start Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 23-year-old is serving as the 29th man for the twin bill, and he'll make his big-league debut in the nightcap. Garrett had a 3.34 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 118:37 K:BB over 105 innings at High-A Jupiter last year.

Marquez will start Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander previously lined up to start Wednesday, but the Rockies will take advantage of Monday's scheduled off day to move him up in the rotation. Marquez has allowed two runs over seven frames in each of his past two starts.

Kim (chest) will start Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Brewers, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

The 32-year-old has been sidelined nearly two weeks while taking a blood thinner, but he'll rejoin the rotation with the Cardinals playing five games against the Brewers over the next three days. Kim has been fantastic as a starter with a 0.44 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB over 20.2 innings and will look to pick up where he left off prior to landing on the injured list.

Webb is slated to start the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Padres, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

After the first two games of the series in San Diego were canceled, Webb looked like he wouldn't get the chance to pitch again until next week. However, he'll be back in the rotation on short notice Sunday, as Kevin Gausman won't be available to pitch the second game after being diagnosed with right elbow tightness. Since working a career-high seven frames in an Aug. 21 win over the Diamondbacks, Webb has posted a 9.00 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 14 innings across three subsequent starts.

Gausman won't start Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Padres due to right elbow tightness, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

According to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, it has yet to be determined if a trip to the injured list is necessary, and Gausman is set to undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury. The Giants have scheduled off days Monday and Thursday, so they won't need the full complement of the starting rotation until after next weekend. Logan Webb will take the mound in the nightcap for San Francisco.

Lucchesi was recalled from the alternate training site for Sunday's doubleheader against the Giants.

The 27-year-old will join the Friars as the 29th man for the twin bill. Lucchesi has two starts under his belt this season and has allowed five runs on 11 hits with a 5:2 K:BB over 5.1 innings, though he figures to work out of the bulllpen Sunday.

Matz (shoulder) was activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The left-hander landed on the injured list at the end of August with shoulder discomfort, and he'll now rejoin the team after recovering for the past two weeks. Matz began the season as a starter before shifting to the bullpen and has a 8.63 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB over 24 innings.

Wacha is available out of the bullpen Sunday against the Blue Jays, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

The 29-year-old lined up to start Tuesday at Philadelphia, but New York will instead push up the rest of the rotation thanks to Monday's scheduled off day. Wacha could return to the rotation when the Mets need a fifth starter next weekend against the Braves.
