May (foot) underwent a CT scan that revealed a contusion, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

May's X-ray on Thursday was inconclusive, but he got encouraging results from his CT scan. According to Plunkett, the 23-year-old threw off flat ground Saturday, but Dodgers haven't made a decision as to whether he'll require a trip to the injured list.

Toussaint will start Monday's game against the Orioles, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Toussaint has been working at the alternate training site for nearly three weeks, but he'll return to the active roster for the series opener in Baltimore on Monday. Toussaint's start will allow Cole Hamels (triceps) and Max Fried (back) to get a few extra days of rest before potentially returning to the mound. Toussaint has been quite inconsistent this season and carries a 7.89 ERA and 1.52 WHIP over 21.2 innings during six appearances (four starts).

Kim (chest/kidney) continues to make encouraging progress and could return to the rotation as early as Monday for one of the doubleheader games against the Brewers, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports. "He's going to come back as a starter," manager Mike Shildt said. "He had a really good day [Thursday] and another positive day [Friday]. We need him to start, but just because we need him to, we're not going to cram him into something that he couldn't physically do. But he's ready. We feel like he can get going."

Kim is awaiting medical clearance, as he's taking a blood thinner that could put him in danger if he were to suffer an injury. The chances of Kim making a return as early as Monday should become clearer as the weekend unfolds.

Paddack was spotted on the field without a protective boot before Friday's postponed game against San Francisco and informed manager Jayce Tingler that his injured ankle felt better, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Paddack exited his start Thursday after two innings due to a sprained right ankle but appeared to be feeling better one day later. "He had a compression sleeve on last night," Tingler said. "He said he woke up and felt better this morning than he did last night. That seems to be a good sign." While the Padres will not allow Paddack to return until ready, there is some urgency given the limited number of games remaining before the team decides its starting rotation for the playoffs. Per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, the right-hander is not a lock to be included.

DeGrom (4-1) allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out nine over six innings as he earned the win Friday against the Blue Jays.

DeGrom has allowed no more than one earned run in each of his last five starts, but he's only been rewarded with two wins during that time. He had no trouble securing the victory Friday, as the Mets scored 14 runs over the first four innings. The right-hander now carries a career-best 1.67 ERA and 0.87 WHIP through 54 innings this season. His next start should come on the road Thursday against the Phillies.

Rogers (1-1) took the loss in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Phillies, surrendering nine runs (eight earned) on nine hits over three-plus innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.

After tossing two scoreless frames to begin the game, Rogers got tagged for four runs in the third before the wheels came off completely in the fourth -- the first five batters all reached base before the young southpaw finally got the hook after a Rhys Hoskins homer. Rogers' ERA more than doubled as a result of the disastrous outing, and while a 26:8 K:BB through his first 18 big-league innings is impressive, he'll carry a 6.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 2.5 HR/9 into his next start Wednesday, at home against the Red Sox.

Nola (5-3) picked up the win in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Marlins, scattering three hits over seven shutout innings. He struck out 10 without walking a batter.

It goes down in the books as Nola's first career complete game, even if it were only seven innings and not the traditional nine. He tossed 70 of 106 pitches for strikes, and he retired the first seven batters he faced, six of them via strikeout, before Jazz Chisholm reached base on an HBP. Nola will take a 2.40 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 77:13 K:BB through 56.1 innings into his next outing Wednesday, at home against the Mets.

Woodruff (2-3) threw seven shutout innings on Friday, allowing one hit while striking out 12 during the Brewers' 1-0 victory over the Cubs.

After struggling against the Cubs in their previous matchup, Woodruff bounced back in a pitchers' duel, throwing 71 of his 100 pitches for strikes in the victory. He'll carry a 3.40 ERA into his start against the Cardinals next week.

Marquez allowed two runs on six hits and a walk over seven innings Friday versus the Angels. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

Marquez had allowed 15 runs over 11 innings in his last two home starts, but he was significantly better Friday. He exited the game with a lead, but Mychal Givens allowed a game-tying solo shot to Jared Walsh in the eighth, denying Marquez the win. The 25-year-old right-hander has a 4.35 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 57 strikeouts across 62 innings this season. Marquez hasn't notched a win in his last seven outings, a trend he'll try to change at home Wednesday versus the Athletics.

Wainwright (4-1) allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in Friday's loss to the Reds.

Wainwright was a little generous with baserunners Friday, and Joey Votto made him pay early with a two-run homer in the first inning. Eugenio Suarez also knocked an RBI double against Wainwright. The right-hander has produced five quality starts in seven outings this year. He has a 2.91 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 35 strikeouts across 46.1 innings. Wainwright's next turn is expected to be in one of Wednesday's two games versus the Brewers.
