Webb will stick in the big-league rotation for now, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

He won his big-league debut Saturday against the Diamondbacks and figures to pitch in next weekend's two-game series in Oakland. Madison Bumgarner may be bumped up to pitch during the upcoming Saturday, which would give Webb seven days of rest in between starts.

Gomber (biceps) threw live batting practice Saturday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports. "Velocity around 89-91 mph," manager Mike Shildt said. "Good to see him back on the mound."

Gomber had previously dealt with a bout of shoulder fatigue that had put a pause in his throwing program, but that has completely subsided. The southpaw is slated to throw another live batting practice later in the coming week and retains a chance of filling a bullpen role with the team down the stretch if he continues to avoid setbacks.

May could fill the long-relief role previously held by Julio Urias, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

May will come out of the bullpen for the first time Sunday after receiving the starting nod in his first three major-league appearances. With Urias serving out the remainder of a 20-game suspension and reportedly being considered for a starting position in October, May -- whose innings are being monitored down the stretch -- is a logical choice to take over a multiple-innings relief role. He has compiled a 2.65 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB over 17 innings with the Dodgers this season.

Urias will work on building endurance during the remainder of his 20-game suspension in order to potentially start games in October, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Urias was suspended for violating Major League Baseball's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy on Saturday, though he was credited for the five games he previously served while on administrative leave. The 23-year-old has started six games and functioned as a long reliever for the Dodgers this season, though he has not thrown more than 61 pitches in an outing since April 18.

Stripling (biceps) will return on Sept. 1 as a reliever, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

It was already assumed that Stripling would be a reliever upon his activation, and the Dodgers will wait until rosters expand to make that move official.

Peralta was optioned to Triple-A San Antonio on Sunday.

He gave up four earned runs without recording an out in Saturday's marathon game against the Nationals, and the righty has given up 10 runs while walking 10 in just four August innings. Peralta will rejoin the bullpen when rosters expand in September.

Gonsolin was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to his start Sunday in Atlanta, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

With Dustin May moving the bullpen in an effort to manage his workload and prepare him for that role in the postseason, Gonsolin will make at least one more start after Sunday's outing, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. He has a mid-90s fastball that has touched triple digits in shorter outings, and his last big-league start was an Aug. 5 gem against the Cardinals.

Lyles didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 15-14 extra-innings win over the Nationals, giving up five runs on seven hits and three walks over four innings while striking out four.

Juan Soto and Adam Eaton both took the right-hander deep, and he needed 83 pitches (52 strikes) to record just 12 outs -- a fitting beginning to a wild 14-inning affair that wrecked ratios on both staffs. Lyles will take a 4.96 ERA and 108:44 K:BB through 103.1 innings into his next outing Friday, at home against Arizona.

Webb (1-0) allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over five innings to earn the win Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.

A two-run first inning was the only blemish on Webb's ledger, as he settled in nicely for the rest of the appearance. He tossed 54 of his 93 pitches for strikes. The right-hander may not be up with the Giants for long, as they have a five-game week ahead and may choose to roll with four starters.

Ryu (12-3) struck out five and took the loss, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in a 4-3 loss to Atlanta on Saturday.

Solo homers by Josh Donaldson and Adam Duvall in the sixth inning helped chase the southpaw from the game and stick him with his first loss since the All-Star break. Incredibly, it's only the second time all year Ryu has given up more than two earned runs, with the other such outing coming June 28 at Coors Field, and that was also the last time he served up a home run or failed to complete six innings. The 32-year-old will carry a 1.64 ERA and 126:18 K:BB through 148.1 innings into his next start Friday, at home against the Yankees.
