The Pirates are expected to recall Kelly from Triple-A Indianapolis ahead of Friday's game against the Marlins, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

The 22-year-old will be looking to make his big-league debut after posting a 4.50 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 47:24 K:BB across 54 innings with Indianapolis. Kelly appeared in 13 games, making 10 starts, at Triple-A. He's expected to work out of the Pittsburgh bullpen.

Manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Wrobleski (hamstring) is expected to be able to make his next start, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Wrobleski was removed from Thursday's start against the Pirates after taking a comebacker off his leg, and he was later diagnosed with a hamstring contusion. Both Roberts and Wrobleski said they don't anticipate the injury to affect the left-hander's ability to make his next start, which is lined up for next week against the Rays.

Wrobleski suffered a right hamstring contusion in Thursday's contest against the Pirates, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Wrobleski exited the game with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning after taking a liner off the bat of Bryan Reynolds to his right thigh. It's now understood to be a hamstring contusion, and the 25-year-old's availability for his next turn through the rotation will likely depend on how his body recovers over the next few days. Wrobleski can be considered day-to-day for the time being ahead of his next tentative start against Tampa Bay.

Senga (spine/arm) allowed one run on one hit and a walk while striking out five batters over six innings in Thursday's rehab start with Double-A Binghamton, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Senga was on the mound for the fourth start of his minor-league rehab assignment, toeing the rubber two days later than initially expected after a flare up of ulnar nerve irritation in his right arm earlier in the week. The right-hander delivered his best performance of the rehab assignment, tossing 51 of his 75 total pitches for strikes. The Mets will likely wait and see how Senga's body responds to Thursday's workload before deciding what the next steps are in his recovery.

Perez won't start as scheduled Thursday against the White Sox since the game was postponed due to rain.

Perez should instead take the mound this weekend against the Mets. The southpaw has posted a 3.45 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with nine strikeouts over 15.2 frames in his last three outings, and he owns a 4-0 record and 3.09 ERA over 43.2 career innings against the Mets.

Wrobleski exited Thursday's contest against the Pirates in the fifth inning due to an apparent injury, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Wrobleski took a line drive off his thigh with two outs in the bottom of the fifth frame, and although he attempted to cover the bag on what ended up being a single for Bryan Reynolds, manager Dave Roberts ultimately decided to remove the pitcher. The southpaw finished his day having tossed 4.2 innings, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one batter. More information on Wrobleski's status will likely be provided in the near future.

Feltner (2-2) took the loss against the Cubs on Thursday, allowing six runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 4.1 innings.

Feltner was perfect through three frames, but the bottom fell out thereafter. Chicago got to him for four runs on four hits and a walk in the fourth inning, with the big hit being a grand slam off the bat of Seiya Suzuki. Feltner returned for the fifth and issued two walks while retiring just one batter, and both runners put on base came around to score after his departure. It was a disappointing outcome after Feltner looked like he might be turning a major corner over his previous two outings, during which he gave up just one run over 12 frames. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for a rematch against the Cubs in Chicago.

Cabrera (4-3) notched the win over Colorado on Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 5.1 innings.

After being pounded by the Giants for eight runs over 3.2 frames in his first start back from the injured list in his previous outing, Cabrera looked better against the Rockies. The right-hander did give up two more homers, but they were both solo shots, and Colorado couldn't put any other runs on the board. Cabrera tossed 51 of 83 pitches for strikes and secured his first victory since April 28. The five long balls he's allowed across his past two appearances are certainly a concern, but Cabrera is lined up for a more promising matchup in his next start, which is scheduled to be a rematch against the Rockies -- this time in Chicago.

Kelly (5-5) took the loss against Miami on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one batter over six innings.

Kelly didn't allow any extra-base hits and was efficient in getting through six frames on 74 pitches. However, the two runs he allowed were enough to saddle him with the loss, as Arizona managed just three hits and no runs against five Marlins hurlers. Kelly did notch his fifth quality start of the campaign and rebounded well after yielding seven runs over five innings against Washington in his previous outing. He'll carry a 5.46 ERA and 1.45 WHIP into his next start, which is scheduled to be at home against the Angels.

Scott did not factor into the decision in the Mets' 5-4 win over the Cardinals on Wednesday, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out six.

Scott struggled to keep the ball in the park Wednesday -- he surrendered four runs on three homers in the first two innings. Coming into the day, Scott had given up just one home run this season and none in his previous starts (29.2 innings) leading up to Wednesday, so the long ball isn't a major concern despite New York's power display. The right-hander now sports a 3.10 ERA with a 1.35 WHIP and 47:19 K:BB across 40.2 innings this season. Scott is tentatively lined up to face the Reds on the road in his next outing.
